Using a Bosnia and Herzegovina eSIM on Android depends on the exact phone model, sales region, network lock and manufacturer software. Two phones with similar names can show different menus or offer different eSIM support.
After installation, the travel profile must be enabled, selected for mobile data and allowed to use data roaming. Automatic data switching should normally be disabled so the phone does not fall back to the home SIM.
NoveSIM travel eSIMs are data-only. They do not provide a Bosnian telephone number, standard calls or SMS; messaging and internet-calling apps can use the data connection.
Quick answer: On Android, search Settings for SIM Manager, SIMs or Mobile Network, add the eSIM and label it clearly. In Bosnia, choose it as the preferred data SIM, enable roaming for that profile and test with Wi-Fi switched off.

Check the full model number rather than the product family alone. eSIM availability can differ by country of sale, carrier firmware or device variant. The phone must also be network-unlocked.
Search Settings for “Add eSIM” or “Download a SIM”. Samsung commonly places the option under Connections and SIM Manager; Google Pixel commonly uses Network & internet and SIMs. Menu wording can change after an Android update. Confirm the model in the compatible-device list.
Install the Travel eSIM
- Connect the phone to reliable Wi-Fi.
- Open the SIM Manager, SIMs or Mobile Network menu.
- Select the option to add or download an eSIM.
- Scan the supplied QR code from another screen.
- Use the supplied manual details only if QR installation is unavailable.
- Wait for the profile to download and label it “Bosnia Travel”.
Do not scan the same single-use code on another device. The general Bosnia installation guide explains preparation and activation timing.
Select the Correct Android Data Line
Open the travel profile and turn it on when the plan instructions permit. Select it as the preferred SIM for mobile data and enable data roaming inside that profile. Keep calls and SMS assigned to the usual line if desired, while checking the home provider’s roaming rates.
Disable automatic data switching, backup calling data or a similarly named option that could move data to the primary SIM. Manufacturers use different labels, so confirm the selected data line on the main SIM settings screen.
Test after Arrival in Bosnia
- Allow several minutes for automatic network registration.
- Turn Wi-Fi off completely.
- Open a lightweight webpage and then a map.
- Check which SIM shows mobile-data activity.
- Toggle airplane mode or restart once if registration is delayed.
Networks, 4G, 5G, hotspot and speed depend on the plan, phone, location and coverage. A network icon does not by itself prove that data is passing through the intended SIM.
Check the APN Only When Necessary
If the eSIM registers but no data passes, first verify the active data SIM and roaming. When an editable APN field is missing or incorrect, NoveSIM uses data.esim. Leave username and password empty unless support provides different instructions.
Do not enter the APN of a domestic Bosnian operator. Follow the dedicated Bosnia eSIM APN guide and save only one correct NoveSIM profile.
Troubleshoot Without Removing the eSIM
If automatic registration fails, wait in an open location, toggle airplane mode and restart once. Try manual network selection only after checking the basic settings.
Do not delete the installed eSIM as a routine fix. A QR code may not support another download. Contact support with the exact Android model, screenshots and error message while keeping activation credentials private.
