Installing and using a Figabytes eSIM on an Android device is a simple, digital process. Once installed, you can start using mobile data without inserting a physical SIM card.
This guide walks you through how to install your eSIM and how to start using it once you arrive at your destination.
Before you begin, make sure your Android device is eSIM-compatible, unlocked, and connected to stable Wi-Fi.
Before You Start
Please confirm the following:
- Your Android device supports eSIM
- Your device is unlocked
- You have a reliable Wi-Fi connection
- Your device software is up to date
- You have your Figabytes eSIM details ready
Step 1: Install the eSIM on Your Android Device
Option A: Install Using a QR Code (Recommended)
- Open Settings
- Go to Network & Internet or Connections
- Tap SIMs or SIM Manager
- Select Add eSIM or Add mobile plan

Option B: Install Manually
If you can’t scan a QR code:

Keep your device connected to Wi-Fi until installation finishes.
Step 2: Label Your eSIM

This is especially helpful if you use more than one SIM.
Step 3: When to Turn On the eSIM
If you install your eSIM before traveling:

Your device should connect to a local network within a few minutes.
