    Step 5: Start using your eSIM data

    The eSIM is now installed and configured.

    We recommend activating the eSIM only at the destination.

    Important: Data Roaming MUST be ENABLED in order for the eSIM to work!

    Your iPhone may activate the plan immediately. To avoid using data before your trip, turn off roaming on all your mobile data plans and turn it on when you have arrived at your destination.

    • • Go to "Settings" and Tap "Mobile / Cellular Data".
      • Select desired SIM and Move the toggle switch to "On".
