How do I install and activate my eSIM on a Huawei?

  • We recommend installing your eSIM a few hours before your trip to prevent early activation and the resulting loss of service days.
  • It’s important to note that Free Roaming eSIMs can activate automatically when connected to a mobile network, so you won’t need an internet connection for activation.
  • If you’re already at your destination, you can proceed with activation immediately.
  • To install the eSIM on your Huawei, you’ll need internet access, either through mobile data or Wi-Fi.
  • Use another screen, such as another mobile device or computer, to view the QR code. You can also print it.

1. Steps to install the Free Roaming eSIM on your Huawei

  • Go to Settings > Mobile Networks
  • Tap on SIM Card Management and choose SIM 2
  • Tap on eSIM and then Add eSIM
  • Scan the QR code with your Huawei camera
  • Your Huawei will detect the mobile plan, and you’ll just need to tap Add eSIM.

2. Steps to select the Free Roaming eSIM for mobile data

  • Go to Settings > Mobile Networks
  • Tap on SIM Card Management
  • Set SIM 2 as the default for mobile data
  • Activate mobile data by following the steps you normally use in your country (for the Huawei P40, go to Settings > Mobile Networks > Mobile Data. There you can enable and disable mobile data).

Keep in mind that once mobile data is activated, your Huawei will use the SIM we set as the default in the previous step, which is SIM 2.

3. Steps to activate roaming on your Huawei P40

  • Go to Settings > Mobile Networks
  • Tap on Mobile Data
  • Enable roaming for SIM 2, which corresponds to the Free Roaming eSIM

That’s it! You can now start using your Free Roaming eSIM to connect to the internet abroad.
