How do I add an eSIM on my Samsung?

Adding an eSIM to your Samsung Galaxy phone allows you to manage your mobile plan without the need for a physical SIM card. You can either scan a QR code provided by your network, install a pre-assigned plan, or manually enter the activation details. Before starting, ensure your phone is connected to Wi-Fi or a mobile data network.

Methods to Add a Mobile Plan Using an eSIM

1. Install a Pre-assigned Plan

Some network providers can automatically activate your mobile plan on your eSIM. To check if this feature is available, contact your network provider, as they might ask for your phone’s EID (found on the phone box or in Settings > About phone > Status). If your plan is pre-assigned, follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings > Connections > SIM card manager
2. Tap Add mobile plan
3. Your mobile plan will download and activate automatically on the eSIM.

2. Scan a QR Code

Most providers offer a QR code linked to your mobile plan. Contact your provider to get this QR code. Then, follow these steps to add your plan:

1. Go to Settings > Connections > SIM card manager
2. Tap Add mobile plan
3. Tap Add using QR code
4. Scan the QR code provided by your network
5. Your mobile plan will be downloaded and activated on your eSIM.

3. Enter Information Manually

If your provider gives you an activation code, you can enter the details manually. Here’s how:

1. Go to Settings > Connections > SIM card manager
2. Tap Add mobile plan
3. Tap Add using activation code
4. Enter the details provided by your network carrier
5. Your mobile plan will be downloaded and activated on your eSIM.
