How to install and activate my Lobster eSIM on Android

Once your eSIM is ready, we’ll send you an eSIM installation email with everything you need: a QR code, a one-tap install link, and your eSIM details if you prefer to enter them manually.

Before you start

• Make sure your mobile phone is connected to the internet (Wi-Fi is fine).
• Keep the confirmation code from your email handy, your phone will ask for this during set-up

The easy way: scan the QR code (recommended)

Open the email with your QR code on a second screen (a laptop or tablet). Then, on the Android phone you’re setting up, point the camera at the QR code in the email, and follow the prompts. Enter your confirmation code when asked, and then you’re good to go!

Only have one screen?

Open the email on the Android phone you’re setting up, and tap the button ‘Install on Android’ in the email and follow the prompts. Enter your confirmation code when asked, and then you’re good to go!

Prefer to enter it manually?

Go to Settings › Connections › SIM Manager › Add eSIM, choose Scan QR code, then Enter code instead, and type in the SM-DP+ address, activation code and confirmation code from your email.

Menu names vary a little between brands and Android versions, if you can’t find ‘SIM Manager’, search your settings for ‘eSIM’ or ‘Add data plan’.
