How to Install Your eSIM with AetopOne
Learn how to install and activate your AetopOne eSIM on iPhone and Android devices. Step-by-step instructions for travelers.
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital version of the traditional SIM card — it's built directly into your device, allowing you to activate a mobile plan without inserting any physical card.
With AetopOne, you can install and activate your eSIM in just a few minutes, giving you instant data access across 190+ countries. Whether you're preparing for an international trip, switching devices, or simply want to stay connected seamlessly, this guide explains everything you need to know.
1. Before You Start
Before installing your eSIM, make sure:
- Your device supports eSIM functionality.
- You are connected to a stable Wi-Fi or mobile data network.
- You have purchased your eSIM plan from AetopOne.com and received your QR code or activation details via email or in the app.
Check compatibility:
2. Installing Your eSIM on iPhone
- Open Settings → Cellular (or Mobile Data)
- Tap Add eSIM or Add Cellular Plan
- Select Use QR Code
- Scan the QR code provided by AetopOne
- Label your new plan (for example, "AetopOne Travel")
- Set Data Roaming to ON and select AetopOne as your Primary Data Line
Your eSIM will activate automatically. You can continue using your regular SIM for calls while AetopOne handles your data connection.
