Install an Australia eSIM on reliable Wi-Fi before departure, after confirming that the phone is compatible and unlocked. Installation adds the profile; activation and validity may follow a separate plan-specific rule.
Save the QR code and manual details securely before starting. Do not scan the code on a different phone or delete a successfully installed profile.
NoveSIM travel eSIMs are data-only and do not include an Australian number or traditional calls and SMS.
Quick answer: Open Add eSIM in the phone’s mobile settings, scan the supplied QR code, label the profile “Australia” and finish installation. Keep it off as the data line until the plan instructions say to activate.

- Confirm exact-model support.
- Verify carrier-unlocked status.
- Connect to stable trusted Wi-Fi.
- Read what starts validity.
- Save the QR code and manual details.
Use the compatibility guide first when uncertain.
Install by QR code
- Open cellular or mobile-network settings.
- Select Add eSIM or equivalent.
- Choose QR-code installation.
- Scan the code from another screen or printed copy.
- Complete the prompts and label the line.
Install with manual details
Choose manual entry only when the order supplies an SM-DP+ address and activation code. Enter them exactly and keep the confirmation for support.
Prepare activation
After landing, enable the profile, select it for data, disable data switching and follow the roaming instruction. Use data.esim if manual NoveSIM APN entry is required. See Australia activation steps.
Do not delete a failed installation
Toggle flight mode, restart and check settings. A QR code may be single-use. Keep the profile installed unless NoveSIM support explicitly directs deletion; use Australia troubleshooting.

FAQ
Should I install before flying?
Yes. Trusted Wi-Fi before departure is more predictable; check the validity trigger first.
Does installation start the plan?
It depends on the plan terms. Installation and activation are not always the same event.
Can I scan the QR code on the same phone?
Use the device’s supported photo or manual-entry method if available; otherwise display the code on another screen.
Can I delete and reinstall?
Do not assume the code is reusable. Contact support before deleting the profile.
Final Recommendation
Install an Australia eSIM on trusted Wi-Fi only after compatibility and activation timing are clear.
Label it, retain it and use data.esim where required.
Activate the data line after arrival according to the plan instructions.
