# How to Activate Your AdventureSIMs eSIM

Congratulations on choosing AdventureSIMs for your eSIM needs! Follow the steps below to install and activate your eSIM and get connected.

## **Step 1: Check Your Device Compatibility**

Before activating your eSIM, make sure your device supports eSIM technology.

👉 Check our **[Device Compatibility Guide](https://adventuresims.com/support/device-compatibility/)** to confirm your device is supported.

## **Step 2: Find Your Activation Email**

After purchasing, you’ll receive an email from AdventureSIMs containing your activation details. This email includes:

- **An activation URL** – iOS users can tap this for one-click installation
- **A QR code** – Can be scanned on most iOS and Android devices

Keep this email handy until your eSIM is fully installed and working.

## **Step 3: Install the eSIM Using the Activation URL (iOS Only)**

If you’re using an iPhone, the easiest way to install your eSIM is via the one-click activation link.

1. Tap the **activation URL** in your email
2. Follow the on-screen prompts to install the eSIM
3. Your iPhone will confirm once the eSIM has been added

This method is fast and requires no manual setup.

## **Step 4: Install the eSIM Using the QR Code (All Devices)**

If you’re using Android or prefer manual installation:

### **Open Mobile Network Settings**

- **iPhone:** Settings → Cellular → Add Cellular Plan
- **Android:** Settings → Network & Internet → Mobile Network → Add eSIM / Carrier

### **Scan the QR Code**

- Select **Add eSIM** or **Scan QR Code**
- Scan the QR code from your activation email

### **Confirm Installation**

Follow the on-screen prompts to complete setup. Your device will show that the eSIM has been added.

## **⚠️ Step 5: Enable Data Roaming (Very Important)**

**Your AdventureSIMs eSIM will NOT work unless data roaming is turned ON.**

This is required because AdventureSIMs use international partner networks.

### **iPhone**

1. Go to **Settings → Cellular**
2. Select your **AdventureSIM****s****eSIM**
3. Turn **Data Roaming ON**

### **Android**

1. Go to **Settings → Network & Internet → Mobile Network**
2. Select your **AdventureSIM****s****eSIM**
3. Turn **Data Roaming ON**

## **Step 6: Set the eSIM as Your Mobile Data Line**

Make sure your AdventureSIMs is selected for mobile data.

- **iPhone:** Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data → Select your AdventureSIMs eSIM
- **Android:** Settings → Network & Internet → Mobile Network → Set AdventureSIMs eSIM as the data SIM

## **Step 7: Verify Your Connection**

Once installed and roaming is enabled, you should see mobile data connected within a few minutes.

If you’ve just arrived in a new country, allow up to **5 minutes** for the network to connect.

## **Step 8: Check Your Usage & Plan Details**

You can reopen the activation link from your email at any time to:

- Check your **remaining data**
- View your **plan expiry date**

## **Troubleshooting Tips**

If your eSIM isn’t working:

- Restart your device
- Double-check that **data roaming is ON** for the AdventureSIMs eSIM
- Ensure the AdventureSIM is selected as the **mobile data line**
- Make sure you’re in a supported country
