Install a Chile eSIM on stable Wi-Fi before departure when the plan permits it. Installation adds the profile to the phone; it does not always mean that plan validity has started.
Keep the QR code private and available on another screen or printed page if the same phone cannot display and scan it simultaneously.
NoveSIM Chile eSIMs are data-only. We do not provide a local number, calls or SMS.
Quick answer: Confirm compatibility and unlock status, open the phone’s Add eSIM menu, scan the QR code and label the new line. Follow the plan instructions before enabling it for data.

Check compatibility first
- The exact model must support eSIM.
- The phone must be carrier-unlocked.
- A stable internet connection is needed for installation.
- The QR code should not have been consumed on another device.
Install the profile
- Open the mobile-network or cellular settings.
- Select Add eSIM or the equivalent option.
- Scan the supplied QR code.
- Label the line Chile or Travel.
- Wait until installation completes before leaving settings.
Use the device-specific iPhone guide or Android guide if needed.
Do not start validity by accident
Read the plan’s activation trigger. Some plans start at installation and others at first supported network connection. The Chile activation guide explains the distinction.
After landing
Select the eSIM for mobile data, enable roaming for that line when required and leave network selection automatic. Keep roaming disabled on the primary line if you want to avoid charges.
If installation fails
Check Wi-Fi, confirm the code belongs to this order and restart the phone. Do not repeatedly scan or delete a partially installed profile. Contact support with the error message.
