Installing your Figabytes eSIM takes just a few minutes and can be done entirely online — no physical SIM card, no store visit, no waiting. Follow the steps below to activate your plan and get connected instantly on your next trip.
This guide covers both iPhone and Android devices.
✅ Before You Begin
Make sure:
Your device supports eSIM
Your phone is unlocked
You have a stable Wi-Fi connection
You have your Figabytes QR code or Direct Install link
Once ready, choose your device below.
📱 iPhone Installation (iOS 16–iOS 18+)
You can install using a Direct Install Link or a QR code.
Method 1 — Direct Install (Recommended)
Connect to Wi-Fi
Open your Figabytes installation link (from email or dashboard)
You’ll see a popup: “Add eSIM”
Tap Continue
Wait for the eSIM to download
Go to Settings → Mobile Data
Set Mobile Data → Figabytes
Turn Data Roaming ON (for travel plans)
Your eSIM is ready — you’ll connect as soon as you enter a supported country.

Connect to Wi-Fi
Go to Settings → Mobile Data → Add eSIM

🌍 After Installation — Final Setup
No matter which device you use, make sure:

4. Restart and toggle Airplane Mode
Often fixes any connection hiccups.
❗ Activation Timing Reminder
Installing your eSIM does not start its validity.
Your plan begins counting when:
👉 Your phone connects to a supported network in the destination country.
So feel free to install early — just keep the line OFF until travel if your home country is included in the plan.
