2. Setup and Activation
Activating your OneSimCard Travel eSIM involves a few key steps to ensure your device is ready for use. Please ensure your device is unlocked and eSIM compatible before proceeding.
2.1 Physical eSIM Installation (if applicable)
If you have received a physical eSIM card, carefully remove the eSIM chip from its card. Insert the eSIM chip into your phone's SIM card tray. This process is similar to inserting a traditional physical SIM card.

2.2 App Installation and eSIM Download
To manage your eSIM, download the official EIOTCLUB app from your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android, Apple App Store for iPhone). Once installed, open the app.
2.2.1 Initial Detection
Upon inserting a physical eSIM or opening the app for the first time with a new eSIM, the system may prompt you with a "new eSIM detected" message. Confirm this prompt.
2.2.2 Adding eSIM Profiles
The eSIM supports up to 8 slots for adding multiple eSIM profiles. You can either download an existing virtual eSIM profile or purchase a new one directly through the app's eShop. After purchasing, click "Download" to add the eSIM profile to your device.
