Steps
Check that your phone supports eSIM. Open Settings, go to About phone, and look for an EID number. If there is no EID, your phone cannot use an eSIM.
Ask your carrier for an eSIM plan or a transfer from your physical SIM. They will send a QR code by email or in their app.
Connect to Wi-Fi so the download does not fail partway through.
Open Settings, then Network and internet, then SIMs. On Samsung phones this is Connections, then SIM manager.
Tap Add eSIM or Add mobile plan, then choose Scan QR code.
Point the camera at the QR code from your carrier and wait for the plan details to load.
Confirm the download and give the eSIM a label, such as Work or Travel, so you can tell your lines apart.
Turn on the new eSIM line and set it as the default for calls, texts or mobile data.
Test it by switching off Wi-Fi and loading a web page, or by making a quick call.
Tips and common mistakes
Do not delete an eSIM unless your carrier says it is fine, because many QR codes only work once.
If the QR scan fails, ask your carrier for the manual activation code and enter it by hand.
Keep your old physical SIM in place until the eSIM is active, in case you need to switch back.
Some carriers lock eSIM to the phone it was first installed on, so set it up on the phone you plan to keep.
Questions
Can I use an eSIM and a normal SIM at the same time?
Yes, most eSIM phones run one physical SIM and one eSIM together. You choose which line handles calls, texts and data in Settings.
What do I do if my phone has no EID number?
Your phone does not support eSIM. You will need a newer model or a physical SIM from your carrier.
Does an eSIM cost extra?
That depends on your carrier and plan. Ask them about eSIM fees and activation charges before you start.
