How do I activate my eSIM?
Before travelling: install your eSIM. To avoid last-minute complications, we recommend installing it right after you have purchased it. All you need is the QR code that we sent you by email or follow the instructions to activate it manually. That way, everything will be ready before you arrive at your destination.
During the flight or when you arrive: set up your mobile in a few simple steps, depending on your device: Android (Samsung):
iPhone (iOS):
- Go to Settings > Mobile Data and check that the eSIM is active.
- Select your eSIM from eSimFLAG as the data line.
- Under Options, enable data roaming.
Android (Samsung example):
- Go to Settings > Connections > SIM Manager and make sure your eSIM is active
- Under Mobile Data, select your eSIM from eSimFLAG
- Under Mobile Networks, enable data roaming.
What if the eSIM doesn’t activate?
If 10 minutes after arriving at your destination the plan has not activated and you have no internet connection, we recommend following these steps:
- Restart your phone
- Make sure your phone’s operating system is up to date
- If you still don’t have a connection, it’s possible that your phone is not automatically detecting the APN to connect to the network. Below we explain how to set it up easily and quickly:
- Go to Settings and select "Connections"
- In this menu, select "Mobile Networks"
- Next, select "Access Point Names"
- Tap the "+" symbol to add a new access point
- On this screen, select the fields "Name" and "APN" and replace them with the following details:
- Name: eSimFLAG
- APN: eSimFLAG
If you still can’t connect, contact our Customer Service so we can assist you.
How do I know if my eSIM has been activated?
We'll send you a free text message the first time you connect, confirming that your plan is up and running. You'll also receive another free text message when you have 24 hours left on your plan.
