Installation & setup

Install a Flex eSIM manually on iOS

Use the SM-DP+ address and activation code if you cannot scan a QR.

  1. Log into the Flex eSIM web dashboard and open My Account > Orders.
  2. Select the order and tap Install eSIM to reveal the SM-DP+ address and activation code (also emailed).
  3. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM > Enter Details Manually.
  4. Enter the SM-DP+ address and activation code exactly as shown, then continue.
  5. Label the line “Flex eSIM,” keep your primary line for calls/iMessage, and set Flex as the Cellular Data line.
  6. Wait for the plan to finish downloading. Installation usually takes about two minutes.
