How to Install Your eSIM on iPhone Using the Sim Local App

The easiest way to install a Sim Local eSIM on your iPhone is through the Sim Local app. Follow these simple instructions to get connected quickly and easily. You can also check out our installation video (above).

Before we get started, let’s quickly check a few things, to help the installation go smoothly…

Firstly, make sure your phone is eSIM-compatible. The quickest way to check this is to use our compatibility checker.

Next, make sure your phone is unlocked from your network. This just means your phone is able to accept SIMs from other networks, as well as your own.

Remember to do this close to your travel date, as the plan activates immediately.
