eSIM installation
Turn a purchased plan into a connected phone.
Help customers finish the part that matters: getting connected. Bring device readiness, private installation details and practical setup guidance into one journey that works before departure and on arrival.
A clear path to first use
EXAMPLEYour eSIM is ready to install.
Keep the setup journey private.
Open on your phone
Use the device-specific installation path where supported.
Add and label the profile
Follow the device prompts for the intended line.
Choose mobile data
Check plan instructions and verify the connection.
Illustrative setup. Installation options depend on the device and service; no activation credentials are shown.
Before installation
Start with the phone and the plan.
Confirm that the device supports eSIM, is unlocked for the intended service and meets the offer’s requirements. Explain when validity begins before asking the customer to install.
Choose a usable setup path
Offer the supported device installation link, a QR code or manual details. A customer using one phone needs a way to finish without being told to scan that same screen.
Deliver to the intended person
Keep installation credentials inside the authorized customer journey. They grant access to a profile and should not appear in public screenshots, analytics events or support transcripts.
A clear sequence
Explain each step in the customer’s language.
Guide the customer through adding the profile, choosing a recognizable label and selecting the correct line for mobile data. Explain the roaming setting and any network-specific setup required by the plan.
Make the distinction visible
A profile can be downloaded, installed or enabled without the device yet using the intended network. Reflect the state reported by the service and provide the next useful instruction.
Recover without losing the plan
Keep the order and profile reference available when setup is interrupted. Before suggesting removal or reinstallation, check the provider’s rules for that profile and device.
When setup needs help
Diagnose the stage that actually failed.
An unavailable credential request, a device refusing installation and a phone with no mobile data are different problems. Bring the plan, observed status and device context into the support journey.
Ask for the useful detail
Start with device model, the step reached and the exact on-screen error. Keep activation codes private and avoid requesting them in a general conversation.
Verify first use
Ask the customer to test the intended service. Installation alone does not prove data, calling or SMS works; check the services included in their particular plan.
Build with the right reference
