Activating your HotelESIM is designed to be as effortless as checking into a hotel. First, you'll install the eSIM by scanning the QR code sent to your email (typically found under your phone's 'Mobile Data' or 'Cellular' settings). We recommend doing this before you travel, ideally while you have a stable Wi-Fi connection. The second step, activation, happens automatically when your device connects to a local network in your destination country. Our concierge-ready setup guides provide clear, step-by-step instructions to ensure you're connected smoothly and quickly upon arrival.
