How to Install Your NuuTel eSIM: Step-by-Step Guide

Travelling or need a secondary line? Getting your NuuTel eSIM up and running is a breeze. Before we dive in, ensure you have a stable internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data) to complete the activation.

Option 1: Via QR Code (Recommended)

The fastest way to get online.

This is the most straightforward method. You’ll find your unique QR code in your NuuTel confirmation email or directly within the NuuTel website.

For iPhone Users:

1. Open Settings and tap Mobile Service.
2. Select Add eSIM.
3. Choose Use QR Code and scan the code provided by NuuTel.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts to finish the setup.

For Android Users:

1. Go to Settings > Connections.
2. Tap SIM Manager.
3. Select Add eSIM.
4. Choose Scan QR code from service provider and scan the code from your NuuTel confirmation email or website.

Option 2: Via Manual Entry

Best if you cannot scan the QR code.

If you are accessing your confirmation email on the same device you are trying to activate, manual entry is the way to go.

1. Navigate to the Add eSIM menu as described above for your specific device.
2. Instead of scanning, select the option to Enter Details Manually.
3. Enter the following details provided by NuuTel:
   • SM-DP+ Address
   • Activation Code
4. Complete the prompts to register the eSIM to your device.

Top Tips for a Smooth Setup

• Register your account: We highly recommend creating an account to enable you to track your data usage in real-time. You’ll also be able to securely save your payment details for faster reordering, plus exclusive access to member-only perks.
• How to reorder/top up your data: Our eSIMs are travel-specific, meaning you will need to purchase a new eSIM package whenever you require more data. To make this process seamless, we highly recommend first logging into your account on our website and purchasing whilst logged in. This will allow the eSIM to be linked to your account, enabling you to monitor data usage in real-time and view your purchase history for future reference. When purchasing, please double-check that you are selecting the correct eSIM for the specific country you are visiting or currently in.
• How to scan your QR code: If you have your confirmation email open on a laptop or another device, simply point your phone’s camera at the screen when prompted during the setup.
  • Top Tip: If you only have one device, take a screenshot of the QR code and send it to a friend or family member so you can scan it from their screen, or use the Manual Entry method instead.
• Label your SIMs: We recommend naming your new eSIM “NuuTel” or “Travel” so you can easily distinguish it from your primary SIM.
• Data Roaming: Once installed, ensure Data Roaming is switched ON specifically for the NuuTel line to allow the connection to activate and also ensure your primary data SIM is switched off.

• Don’t Delete: If you run into any hitches, please do not delete the eSIM from your settings, as they are usually single-use. Reach out to our support team first.
