How to Set Up a Travel eSIM on Your iPhone
If you have an iPhone, setting up a travel eSIM is quick and simple, and best done at home before you fly. By the time you land abroad, your data is ready to switch on. Here is the clear step by step for Nigerian iPhone users.
Step one: check your iPhone supports eSIM
Most recent iPhones support eSIM. When you buy through us we confirm your model is compatible first, so you set off knowing it will work. Make sure your phone is unlocked as well.
Step two: buy your plan and get your QR code
Choose your destination and plan, pay a clear fixed price, and you receive a QR code and simple instructions. Do this at home on your wifi, while you are relaxed, not at a busy airport.
Step three: add the eSIM in settings
On your iPhone, open Settings, then Mobile or Cellular, then tap to add an eSIM or mobile plan. Choose to use a QR code, then scan the code we sent you. Your iPhone downloads the eSIM in a minute or two.
Step four: label and set your lines
Give the eSIM a clear name like your destination country. Keep your Nigerian line as your main line for calls and messages, and set the travel eSIM for data. You can turn the eSIM data off until you arrive so it uses nothing early.
Step five: land and switch on data
When you land, go to your settings, select the travel eSIM, and turn on data roaming for that line only. Within moments you are connected, ready for maps, messages, and rides in the arrivals hall.
Frequently asked questions
Will this affect my Nigerian line? No, your Nigerian line stays active for calls and bank messages. The eSIM simply handles your data abroad.
