You can install an eSIM on a compatible Samsung Galaxy from Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM, then scan the QR code supplied with the plan.
Menu wording can vary by Galaxy model, market and One UI version. If Add eSIM is absent, confirm compatibility, unlocked status and current software before proceeding.
NoveSIM travel eSIMs are data-only, so setup also requires selecting the new line for Mobile Data after installation.
Quick answer: Connect to stable Wi-Fi, open SIM manager, tap Add eSIM, scan the QR code and wait for the profile to download. Label it, select it for Mobile Data after arrival and enable Data Roaming on the travel line.
Check Samsung eSIM Compatibility First
Confirm the exact model and regional variant on the NoveSIM compatible-device list. The presence of the same marketing name in another country does not guarantee identical SIM capability.
How to Install an eSIM on Samsung
- Connect the Galaxy phone to stable private Wi-Fi.
- Open Settings.
- Tap Connections.
- Open SIM manager.
- Tap Add eSIM.
- Select Scan QR code and scan the code supplied with the order.
- Follow the on-screen prompts until the profile appears in SIM manager.
Samsung documents this path for supported Galaxy devices, while noting that carrier and software options can vary. If you received manual details rather than a QR code, use the manual eSIM installation guide.
Configure the Travel Line
- Give the new profile a clear label such as “Travelâ€.
- After arrival, switch the eSIM on.
- Select it under Mobile data.
- Enable Data Roaming for the travel eSIM.
- Keep Data Roaming off on the primary SIM and disable automatic data switching.
The Samsung data-line guide covers the final selection.
If Installation Does Not Start
Check that the QR code is clear, unused and intended for this plan. Do not repeatedly scan it after the profile appears. If manual NoveSIM APN entry is required after network registration, use data.esim. Do not delete an installed eSIM unless Support specifically instructs you to do so.
