How to Install Bolt eSIM on iPhone
Follow this step-by-step guide to activate your Bolt eSIM and stay connected in 190+ countries.
✅ Before You Begin
- Ensure your iPhone supports eSIM (iPhone XS, XR, and later models).
- Connect to Wi-Fi for activation or a hotspot.
- Have your QR code ready (sent via email after purchase).
- You can install your Bolt eSIM before arriving at your destination, but you will need a Wi-Fi connection to complete the setup.
- If you receive a message saying "eSIM Not Activated", don’t worry! This happens because you're not yet in the eSIM coverage region. Once you arrive at your destination, it will start working automatically.
📌 Method 1: QR Code Activation (Recommended)
- Go to Settings → Tap Cellular (or Mobile Data).
- Tap Add eSIM (or Add Cellular Plan).
- Select Use QR Code and scan the Bolt eSIM QR code from your email.
- Follow the on-screen prompts and label your eSIM (e.g., "Bolt eSIM").
- Set Bolt eSIM as Primary or Secondary (choose based on your needs).
- Tap Done, and your eSIM is now installed!
📌 Method 2: Manual Installation (If QR Code Doesn’t Work)
- Go to Settings → Tap Cellular → Add eSIM.
- Tap Enter Details Manually.
- Enter the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code (provided in your email).
- Follow the prompts to complete installation.
⚙️ Final Setup & Important Notes
- Go to Settings → Cellular → eSIM and enable Turn On This Line.
- Set the installed eSIM as your preferred data line if using it for mobile data.
- Enable Data Roaming on the installed esim profile.
- Remember: If you see a message like "eSIM Not Activated", this is normal if you're not yet in a supported region. It will activate once you arrive at your destination.
🎉 You're All Set!
Your Bolt eSIM is now active! Enjoy seamless, prepaid connectivity in 190+ countries.
