🛑 Before Starting:

If you have already installed the eSIM Israel on your iPhone during a previous trip and have not deleted it, there is no need to scan the QR code again. Simply reactivate it in Settings > Cellular Data.

 

➡️ IMPORTANT: Once you begin the installation process, do not interrupt it until completed, as this could damage the eSIM. Reissuing it will cost $10.

💡 When and How to Activate the eSIM on My iPhone?
 

  1. Ensure your iPhone is connected to the Internet.
    Go to Settings > Cellular Data and select Add an eSIM / Add Cellular Plan.

  2. QR Code Installation:

    • Choose Use QR Code and scan the code you received by email.

    • Wait during the activation process and follow the prompts to complete the setup.

  3. Set Up Cellular Plans:

    • Keep your main SIM as Primary.

    • Rename the eSIM Israel with a custom label like "eSIM Israel."

  4. Default Settings Configuration:

    • In the USA 🇺🇸, select your main SIM as default.

    • In Israel 🇮🇱, choose "eSIM Israel" for calls, iMessage, FaceTime, and cellular data.

    • Do not enable the Allow Cellular Data Switching option.
       

➡️ Activation may take up to 5 minutes, which is normal.

 

✅ Your Israeli plan is now ready to use.

However, it will only function if you are physically in Israel. Under "eSIM Israel," no phone number will be displayed. Ignore this; your Israeli number is provided in the email.
 

⏭️ Upon Arrival in Israel:
 

  • Disable your main SIM in Settings > Cellular Data > Cellular Plans.

  • Enable the eSIM Israel.
    Your default line will automatically switch to the Israeli plan for calls, SMS, and Internet, avoiding any roaming charges on your main SIM.
