Transfer Your eSIM from iPhone to Android How to Guide?

Alright, so I wanted to switch my eSIM from my iPhone to my new Android phone. I thought it would be a piece of cake, but it turned out to be a bit more involved than I expected. Here’s how it went down.

First, I went into my iPhone’s settings, you know, the usual drill. I found the cellular section and located my eSIM plan. It was pretty straightforward to deactivate it. I just tapped on the option to remove the plan, and that was that. One less eSIM on my iPhone.

Next, I had to get a new eSIM QR code for my Android. This is where I had to ring up my carrier. It wasn’t too bad, just explained what I was trying to do. They got the picture and told me they’d send me a new QR code. I waited a bit, and sure enough, it showed up in my email. Nice!

Activating the eSIM on Android

With the QR code in hand, I moved on to my Android. I went into the settings, found the network and internet section, and then looked for the SIM card settings. There was an option to add a new eSIM, perfect. I tapped on that, and it asked me to scan the QR code. Easy peasy, I just pointed my phone’s camera at the code, and it recognized it instantly.

After scanning, I followed the on-screen instructions, it is pretty much just a few taps and confirmations. It took a few minutes for the eSIM to activate. I guess it was connecting to the network and getting everything set up. Once it was done, I got a notification saying my new eSIM was active. Cool!
