- Follow the on-screen instructions to label your eSIM (e.g., "Bolt eSIM").
- Choose whether to set the Bolt eSIM as your primary or secondary line for data and calls.
- Tap Activate, and your eSIM will be ready!
📌 Method 2: Manual Installation (If QR Code Doesn’t Work)

- Tap + Add Carrier (or + Add eSIM).
- Tap Enter Details Manually.
- Input the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code (sent in your email).

- Set Bolt eSIM as your preferred data line if you want to use it for mobile data.
