After purchasing your eSIM, follow these steps to install it on your Android device. Make sure you’re connected to WiFi before starting.

​
Steps

  1. Log in to Roamly and go to My eSIMs.
  2. Tap on your eSIM to open the details page.
  3. Tap “Add to Android” and follow the on-screen prompts.
  4. Label your eSIM — Give it a recognisable name so you can identify it in your settings.
  5. Keep your eSIM turned off until you arrive at your destination. Activating early may start the validity countdown.

​
Alternative: QR code method

If you want to install the eSIM on a different device:
  1. Go to your eSIM details page on Roamly.
  2. Tap “Scan QR Code” to display the QR code.
  3. On the target Android device, go to Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > Add eSIM.
  4. Tap “Scan QR code” and scan the code displayed on your screen.
Note: The exact menu path may vary slightly depending on your phone manufacturer (Samsung, Google, OnePlus, etc.).

Tips

  • Install before you travel while you’re on WiFi at home.
  • Don’t activate early — Most plans start their validity period when you first connect to a network at your destination.
  • WiFi required — You need an internet connection to download the eSIM profile.
  • Device must be unlocked — If your phone is locked to a carrier, you won’t be able to install third-party eSIMs.

After installation

Your eSIM will appear in Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs. Keep it toggled off until you arrive. When you land, enable it and select it as your data SIM.
