I do not get the “eSIM – Mobile Data in my device” button on my iPad to install my Ubigi profile. Why and what should I do?

If you do not get the “eSIM – Mobile Data in my device” button when you open the Ubigi application, this means either:
– that your iPad is not eSIM compatible (check the iOS compatible devices list),
– or that you already installed a Ubigi eSIM on your iPad in the past,
– or that you interrupted the auto installation during your last attempt.

If you tried again the installation but still do not see the “eSIM – Mobile Data in my device” button on the Ubigi application, we invite you to ask for a new eSIM profile with a QR code on the link below:
https://cellulardata.ubigi.com/ios/ipad/get-esim-profile/

You will then receive an email with instructions step by step to install a new eSIM profile on your device without using the Ubigi application.

If you already own a Ubigi account and want to keep it or have a valid data plan on it, please contact the Ubigi Customer Service and provide your device’s EID* number along with your request.

*You can find your EID number in the following location on your iPad:
1) Settings
2) General
3) Information

Easy to set up before arriving in Japan. It worked as soon as we touched down off the aircraft and worked well for all our needs in the country for 14 days and we did both cities and rural areas.

Excellent & affordable - Ubiji saved us on our international…
Ubiji saved us on our international travels this summer! My husband had changed to a mobile provider that does not work abroad, and we visited five countries in five weeks this summer. Once we found Ubiji during our visit to Japan, the rest was smooth sailing. Super affordable rates compared to other companies, and it has coverage in most areas, even many more rural areas where local mobile operators have hard time. Once you stole the app and get set up, it is as easy as 2 clicks to purchase coverage for a new countries and locations. We went to Japan, Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, and Bulgaria, and Ubiji worked beautifully and all the locations - with many gigabytes of data for rates of less than $10/week

I had the courage to try an eSIM for the first time, and I was very happy with my decision. The service worked perfectly throughout my trip, with excellent coverage both in Rome and in northern Italy. I was also able to use it as a hotspot for my whole family, which was extremely convenient and saved us a lot. A great experience overall — I will definitely come back as a satisfied returning customer!
