Troubleshooting

Most install issues fall into one of these.

I can't find "Add eSIM" in Settings

Your device may not support eSIM, or the menu name is different. Search Settings for "eSIM" or "SIM manager". If nothing appears, run our device check.

The QR code won't scan

Improve lighting and contrast, make the QR fill the camera frame, or display it on a larger screen. As a fallback, tap "Enter activation code" and paste the SM-DP+ address and activation code from your email.

Installed, but no signal at my destination

Open the eSIM line in Settings, enable Mobile data and Roaming for it, and toggle airplane mode on/off. Some countries require a specific APN — see our country guides.

Can I keep my main SIM active at the same time?

Yes. Dual-SIM Android phones let you keep your home line for calls/SMS while using the VamosData eSIM for data. Just choose the eSIM as the default for mobile data.

Can I move the eSIM to another phone?

No. eSIM profiles are tied to the device they were installed on and can't be transferred.
