Installing a Figabytes eSIM on your iPhone or iPad is quick and fully digital. Depending on what you have available, you can install your eSIM using a QR code or by entering the details manually.
Before you begin, make sure your iOS device is eSIM-compatible, unlocked, and connected to a stable Wi-Fi network.

- Your device is unlocked
- You are connected to reliable Wi-Fi
- Your device is updated to the latest iOS version

Keep the eSIM Turned Off (If Installing Before Travel)
If you’re installing your eSIM before your trip:
