Before You Begin
Make sure your device supports eSIM. Here's a quick compatibility check:
- iPhone: iPhone XS, XR, and all newer models support eSIM
- Samsung: Galaxy S20 and newer, Z Fold/Flip series
- Google Pixel: Pixel 3 and newer
- Other Android: Check Settings → About Phone → SIM status for eSIM support
You'll also need a WiFi connection during setup and your QR code from Amigo eSIM (sent by email within 30 seconds of purchase).

Troubleshooting Common Issues
QR code won't scan
Ensure you have good lighting and hold your camera steady. Try zooming in slightly. If it still fails, use the manual activation code option.
eSIM not connecting abroad
Make sure Data Roaming is enabled on the Amigo eSIM line. Toggle airplane mode on/off to force network reconnection.
"No service" after activation
The eSIM activates on arrival in the destination country. If you're still at home, it may show no service until you travel.
QR code already used error
Each QR code can only be scanned once. If you reset your phone, contact Amigo eSIM support for a replacement code.
Can I use two eSIMs at once?
Depends on your device. iPhone 13+ supports dual eSIM (two active eSIMs simultaneously). Most Android devices support one active eSIM at a time.
How do I switch between SIMs?
On iPhone: Settings → Cellular. On Android: Settings → Network → SIM management. You can switch your active data SIM instantly.
