I just bought a GotoeSIM eSIM for my trip to Egypt, but I'm not sure how to activate it on my Samsung Galaxy. Can someone guide me through the activation process once I land?

To activate your eSIM on a Samsung Galaxy, first, go to Settings, then Connections, and select SIM card manager. From there, tap 'Add mobile plan' and scan the QR code provided after your purchase.
I had an easy time activating my eSIM in Egypt. After scanning the QR code, I just had to make sure my mobile data was turned on and it worked right away!
It's important to keep your Wi-Fi enabled during the scanning process, as it may need internet access to complete the activation. Don't forget to restart your phone after activating!
I found that turning off the airplane mode helped my Samsung recognize the new eSIM data right after scanning the QR code. It made the process smoother!
Make sure you’re in a good service area after arriving. Sometimes the eSIM takes a bit to connect with local networks, but it should work within a few minutes.
I had a small issue when activating my eSIM, but switching the phone off and on again after scanning the QR code did the trick. Don't hesitate to try that!
Double-check that you're connected to Wi-Fi while activating, as it helps with downloading the new plan settings. I accidentally turned off Wi-Fi and it delayed my activation.
I had to enter some settings manually for my eSIM. If you face issues, check your APN settings or consult GotoeSIM's support. They were helpful for me!
