How do I install an eSIM on my Samsung Galaxy device?
Last updated: 2026-09-03
Quick answer
On Samsung Galaxy, go to Settings > Connections > SIM manager > Add eSIM. From there you can scan the QR code supplied with your order, or enter the activation code by hand if scanning is not possible.
Steps
- Connect the phone to Wi-Fi.
- Open Settings > Connections > SIM manager.
- Tap Add eSIM.
- Choose Scan QR code, or enter the code manually if you cannot scan.
- Wait for the profile to download, then confirm.
- In SIM manager, name the line and set it as the preferred SIM for mobile data.
- Apply the data roaming setting your package specifies for that line.
What to check
- Keep your physical SIM active for calls and texts if you want to keep your usual number reachable.
- Menu wording differs slightly across One UI versions; look for SIM manager or SIM card manager.
- If Add eSIM is missing, your model or your operator's software may not support it. See how do I check if my Android device supports eSIM.
Important
An eSIM installs to one device only, and the code is single-use. Install on the phone you are travelling with.
