Install a DataFly eSIM Manually (Android Guide)

This guide explains how to manually install a DataFly eSIM on Android devices, starting with obtaining the eSIM details from the DataFly app, then completing the installation through the phone settings, and finally configuring the data settings to ensure the internet works properly.

Before you start, make sure you have:

  • A stable internet connection

  • An Android phone that supports eSIM and is not locked to a specific carrier

  • Your eSIM details: you’ll need either a QR code or an activation code (SM-DP+) from the DataFly app

Part 1: Get your eSIM details

  1. Open the DataFly app.

  2. Tap "My eSIMs".

  3. On your new eSIM, tap "Manual Install".

  4. Choose one of the following options:

    • Tap the copy button to copy the activation code if you want to install your eSIM using the code.

    • Tap Share to save the QR code or share it (if you want to activate the eSIM using the QR code or share it with someone else so they can activate it on their device).
