I just arrived in Portugal and want to set up my eSIM. What are the steps I need to follow for installation and activation? Is there anything specific I should be aware of?

Welcome to Portugal! To set up your eSIM, simply scan the QR code you received at purchase using your device's settings. Make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi during the installation to ensure a smooth activation.

I just did this last week! Once you scan the QR code and select the eSIM in your cellular settings, it activates automatically when you land. Just remember to turn on your data roaming!

Setting up the eSIM was super easy for me. I made sure my phone was unlocked and followed the prompts after scanning my QR code. It worked perfectly as soon as I got off the plane!

I had a small issue with the activation, but I just toggled airplane mode on and off and it fixed it right away. Make sure you're in an area with good signal!

If you experience any issues during setup, try restarting your device after the installation. Sometimes this can help establish the connection more quickly.

I set my eSIM up in Lisbon. Just a heads up, I found scanning the QR code works better in good lighting. Also, don't forget to check your APN settings if you face connectivity issues.

I loved how quickly it activated once I landed. Just make sure your device is updated to the latest software version for the best compatibility!
