How to activate an eSIM for an Android mobile device?
To activate your eSIM, you need a wireless carrier which provides you an eSIM profile as well as an eSIM data plan.
To download your eSIM profile on your Android device, you may receive an “activation code” from an eSIM carrier. The activation code is in fact a download link. It is often in the format of a QR code that you will scan with the camera of your phone or tablet to install and activate your eSIM profile on your device. It takes just a couple of minutes to complete the whole process and get connected.
Other ways of getting an eSIM profile include downloading the app of your carrier and follow on-screen instructions or going directly through your Android device connectivity settings.

South Island NZ Exploring
Didn't have any issues for the majority of the trip to NZ. Of course there were times when there would be rural areas with no service, but that's expected when you're in the mountain areas. Otherwise, worked like a charm!
