How can I enable my Ubigi eSIM profile on my Android device when I want to use it again?

If you want to reactivate your Ubigi eSIM profile (even temporarily) on your Android device :

1 – Go to Settings > Connections > then SIM card manager and activate the Ubigi eSIM profile (NB: if you have not renamed it yet, the name “secondary” will appear):


2 – For Mobile Data, select the eSIM profile corresponding to Ubigi

3 – Then go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks and activate “Data Roaming”

4 – Finally go to Access points name > in there select the Ubigi eSIM (at the bottom right of the screen) > add an APN > fill in the name= Ubigi and APN= mbb then SAVE.

You can now use your Ubigi eSIM connection!

(NB: These settings are stored if you simply activate/deactivate the profile. Everything will be erased if you delete the profile)

You can also find those instructions on the video below.

We recommend you to never delete your Ubigi eSIM profile when you travel or when you do not use it as you can simply deactivate it as described above, until you need it again.

Promotion code
The app was easy to use but I got a login issue with discount code through manual. It was a bit hard to find how to put the promotion code "NTT20" with NTT account

Japan on Samsung's S24 Ultra
On Samsung's S24 this app installed the esim easily. The data was activated when we got to Japan, not before. The coverage has been good so far. I did have to update the access point name on the esim, that didn't auto select, but maybe a side effect of having other esims previously.

What made my experience good was being able to commit majority of the time
What made my experience good was being able to communicate with loved ones majorly of the time. It so great- network was better not as I expected because there were times when Ubigi was not able to connect to internet. Generally, it was a better experience.
