How to Activate Your eSIM

Your Simbase dashboard shows a QR code, as well as the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code. Depending on your device, you can either scan the QR code or enter the details manually.

✅ Option 1: Activate by Scanning the QR Code (Recommended)

Most smartphones support this method and it’s the fastest way to install your eSIM.

📱 On iPhone (iOS 14 and later):

  1. Go to Settings > Mobile Data > Add eSIM or Add Data Plan.

  2. Choose Use QR Code.

  3. Scan the QR code shown in your Simbase dashboard.

  4. Follow the prompts to add and label your new mobile plan.

  5. Done! Your eSIM will activate shortly — no confirmation code needed.

🤖 On Android (varies by manufacturer):

  1. Go to Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs or Mobile Network.

  2. Tap Add eSIM or Download SIM.

  3. Select Use QR code (some devices may ask to connect to Wi-Fi first).

  4. Scan the QR code from your Simbase dashboard.

  5. Follow the on-screen instructions — no confirmation code is needed.

✍️ Option 2: Activate Manually (No QR Code Scanner)

If your device can’t scan QR codes, you can enter the eSIM details manually.

Steps:

  1. Go to your phone’s eSIM or Mobile Network settings.

  2. Choose Enter activation details manually (this may be under “Use activation code”).

  3. Enter the following information from your Simbase dashboard:

    • SM-DP+ Address: xxxxx

    • Activation Code: xxxxx

  4. Leave the confirmation code blank — Simbase eSIMs don’t require one.

  5. Complete the setup as instructed by your device.
