Install your travel eSIM on iPhone

Start in your Forge account

Connect to reliable Wi-Fi. Sign in to the Forge account that purchased the travel eSIM, open Travel and select the order. Wait until it is ready to install. Payment confirmation alone does not mean the eSIM is ready.

Read the package’s activation rule first: installation and the start of the validity period are not always the same event. Keep the QR code and activation details private.

Add the eSIM

Use only the installation methods shown for your order. Do not assume that transferring an existing eSIM from another phone is supported.

1. If your order displays an Install on iPhone/iPad button, open it on the device you want to use and follow the iPhone prompts.
2. Alternatively, display the QR code on another screen and scan it with your iPhone camera.
3. On supported iOS versions, pressing and holding a QR code in a supported browser or email app may offer Add eSIM.
4. Follow the prompts to add the plan and give it a recognisable label, such as Travel.

Choose your data line

When you are ready to use the plan, select the travel eSIM for mobile data in your iPhone’s mobile settings. Follow the order’s roaming instructions for that eSIM. Review the roaming terms for your main line before keeping it active abroad.

If installation fails

Check whether the eSIM already appears in your phone’s SIM list. Do not delete an installed profile as a troubleshooting step. Record the exact error and contact Forge with your order reference and device model.
