Downloading and installing your eSIM

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card already built into your phone. No plastic, no waiting for shipping — just scan a QR code and go.  

Why use an eSIM? 

  • Get started instantly — no need to wait for delivery  

  • Keep multiple plans on one device (great for travel!) 

  • Some phones nowadays only support eSIM and no longer have a physical SIM slot 

  • One less thing to lose, snap, or misplace 

Before You Begin 

Make sure you're ready: 

  • Your device supports eSIM 

  • Your device is connected to WiFi 

  • You know your SmartLess Mobile login info
