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

Ubigi esim is great
Ubigi esim is great and it has helped me while I was travelling to Asia last month. It has worked very good since I first touched down Changi airport Singapore and during my trips to Indonesia, South Korea, Japan.
