How to Setup your Apple eSIM
The ultimate text-only guide for iPhone & iPad users. Follow these steps for a seamless 2026 travel experience.
Phase 1: Preparation
Complete these steps before you fly while you still have a stable Wi-Fi connection.
Device Unlock
Ensure your iPhone is carrier-unlocked. If your phone is on a contract (e.g., AT&T, Vodafone), contact your provider to request an unlock first.
Software Version
Check Settings > General > Software Update. Ensure you are running iOS 15.0 or later for the smoothest eSIM management.
Phase 2: Installation
Installing the profile adds the asimgo network to your hardware.
Open Cellular Settings
Navigate to Settings > Mobile Service (or Cellular). Tap Add eSIM.
Scan QR Code
Select Use QR Code. Scan the code provided in your asimgo email. If scanning from the same device, tap "Open Photos" and select your saved QR screenshot.
Download Profile
Tap Continue. Your iPhone will connect to the server. Wait for the message "Mobile Plan Setup Complete". Tap Done.
Phase 3: Activation
Configure your settings to ensure your data works immediately upon landing.
Line Labeling
Label your new asimgo line as "Travel" or "Business" so you can easily distinguish it from your primary SIM.
Set Voice & Data
Default Voice Line: Choose "Primary" (to keep receiving calls on your home number).
Mobile Data: Choose your new "asimgo/Travel" line. Toggle OFF "Allow Mobile Data Switching" to prevent accidental roaming charges from your home carrier.
⚠️ The Critical Final Step
Once you arrive at your destination, go to Settings > Mobile Service > [asimgo line] and ensure Data Roaming is turned ON. Your internet will not work without this setting enabled.
