Kolet eSIM installation with activation code

Updated over a week ago

If you've successfully shared the QR code with another device, but encounter issues scanning it with your own device, you'll need to install the eSIM manually. 👨‍🔧.

To install your eSIM, you must have an active data plan with us. If you don't have a data plan, you can buy one from the App Store and follow this guide.

We recommend completing this step before your flight, as Internet is required to set up your eSIM. ✈️ We suggest installing your eSIM before you leave and then activating your eSIM data plan when you arrive at your destination.

⚠️ Please ensure that you install your eSIM before you arrive at the airport, as connectivity is often unstable.

Simply return to the Profile section in the menu bar and choose Install with activation code.
