Before you start

  • You have a stable Wi-Fi connection for installation.
  • Your MAP eSIM QR image or SM-DP+ details are ready from My eSIMs or your order email.
  • You can usually install before travel, then enable data after you arrive.
  • Menu names differ on Samsung, Google Pixel, Xiaomi, and other Android phones.

Install on Android

  1. Step 1

    Get your QR or manual details

    Download or save the MAP eSIM QR PNG from your order email attachment or the success page download button.

  2. Step 2

    Open SIM settings

    Choose Use QR code and scan the saved image from another screen or a printed copy when your phone cannot scan from its own gallery.

  5. Step 5

Common issues

I cannot find Add eSIM+

Search Settings for eSIM, SIMs, or Download a SIM. Manufacturers use different labels. If the option is missing, the phone may not support eSIM or may be locked.

The phone will not scan a QR from the gallery+

Show the QR on another screen or print it, then scan with the camera. Same-phone gallery scans often fail.

Is there a one-tap Android install button?+

MAP eSIM does not claim universal one-click Android installation. Use QR or manual SM-DP+ details from your order.

The eSIM installed but I have no data+

Set the travel eSIM as the mobile data SIM, then enable Data roaming for that line after you arrive if the plan requires it.
