How do I install my Ubigi eSIM profile on iPhone (iOS 17.4 or later) with the QR code diplayed on my screen?

Installing an eSIM profile on an iPhone running iOS 17.4 or later has never been easier. A new feature allows you to install the eSIM profile simply by pressing and holding the QR code displayed on your screen:

– First check that your iPhone supports eSIM here
– Update your iPhone to iOS 17.4 or later via Settings > General > Software Update if needed

Then, open the email containing your Ubigi eSIM QR code on your iPhone:
– Ensure the QR code is clearly visible on the screen
– Press and hold your finger on the QR code displayed on your screen until a pop-up appears
– Select “Add eSIM” and follow the prompts to complete the installation of your Ubigi eSIM profile

Once installed, click on the “Sign up” button on the email, create your account and your connectivity will be ready to use immediately.

You can now enjoy your Ubigi Connectivity wherever you go!

Such a helpful service for our Japan trip!
Using Ubigi on our recent trip to Japan was SO helpful! The app was easy to download, the instructions for activation were very well-written, and the WiFi worked great on our trip. We traveled around Tokyo, Kyoto, and several stops in-between, and never had any coverage issues.

I bought an unlimited one for 30 days. It worked well, but when i hit 60gb, it throttled. It still works o.k, but not fast.

Great eSIM option with great customer service
Once the Ubigi app is installed on the phone, it sets up an eSIM that gets re-used when/wherever you buy a new roaming package from them. No need to scan a QR code or go through other steps of installing an eSIM at each new destination. When we accidentally bought an extra package from Ubigi, it was easy to contact them and get a refund.
