Seamless eSIM activation
If you’ve bought a new device, like an iPhone 16e from us, you can use seamless eSIM activation to set up your new SIM. But what is this and how do you use it?
What is seamless eSIM activation?
It’s a new, easy way to install your eSIM. All you need to do is switch on your device, connect to Wi-Fi, then follow the on-screen steps. And that’s it.
If you can’t see any steps on screen, make sure your device is connected to Wi-Fi and try again.
Will I still need a QR code?
No – seamless eSIM activation means there’s no need for anything like QR or confirmation codes.
Which devices use seamless eSIM activation?
Seamless eSIM activation is only available on iPhone 16e right now but will be available on more devices soon.
eSIMs are available on other devices and if you’re buying a compatible device, we’ll give you the option to choose an eSIM. These eSIMs can only be activated by scanning the QR code we email to you and entering the confirmation code.
You can check if your device is compatible with an eSIM and find a step-by-step guide on our device support page.
