Imagine having one iPhone with two (or more) cellular data plans, perhaps each for a different country. It's simpler than you might expect, and there's no need to visit your cell phone provider—you can install and activate eSIM data plans on your iPhone yourself in just a few minutes.

eSIM86 simplifies adding new eSIM cellular plans, making travel and business more convenient. The ability to add new lines on the go is a real game-changer. But if you’ve never installed or activated an eSIM before, you might be wondering where to begin. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered!

What does it mean to activate eSIM?

Each prepaid eSIM data package is valid for a specific duration, such as seven days, 10 days, 15 days, 30 days, or even longer. When you activate an eSIM data package, the countdown to its expiration begins.

For example, if you’ve bought a data package that lasts for 30 days, those 30 days start ticking down as soon as you activate it. That’s why it’s crucial not to activate your data package until you’re in the right country and ready to use the data.

How to setup eSIM on IOS device?

How to Use the Internet

1. After successfully downloading, close the primary SIM card if you already have one.
2. Enable the Cellular Plan (iOS) or SIM Card (Android), and the LTE logo will appear in the upper right corner once successful.
