It takes less than a minute to add your new travel plan. It’s truly that seamless.
Step 3: Activate and Manage Your eSIM
Once installed, your eSIM is ready to go. You can activate it immediately or wait until you arrive at your destination. Just go to Settings > Cellular on your iPhone. Here, you can turn your Yoho Mobile line on and set it as your primary source for “Cellular Data.” According to Apple’s official support guide, you can store multiple eSIMs on your device, making it perfect for frequent travelers.
Pro Tips for Using Dual SIM on Your iPhone
Leverage the dual SIM feature by keeping your home line active for receiving calls and important SMS (like bank verifications) while using your Yoho Mobile eSIM for all your data needs. This avoids the high data roaming charges that many carriers impose. You can label your plans in your iPhone’s settings (e.g., “Home” and “Travel Data”) to easily switch between them. This feature, as highlighted by tech experts at TechCrunch, was a game-changer for international travelers looking for a better connectivity solution.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I activate a Yoho Mobile eSIM on an iPhone XR without a QR code?
For iOS users, including iPhone XR, 11, XS, and SE (2nd gen), Yoho Mobile offers a direct installation method. After purchasing your plan, you’ll find an ‘Install’ button in your account. Tapping this will automatically begin the eSIM setup process in your iPhone’s settings, no QR code required.
Can I use an eSIM on my iPhone 11 if it’s carrier-locked?
To use an eSIM from a different provider like Yoho Mobile, your iPhone must be unlocked. If you’re unsure, contact your home carrier to check your phone’s status and request an unlock. GSMA, the organization overseeing eSIM standards, notes that an unlocked device is key to enjoying the full flexibility of eSIM technology.
What happens to my physical SIM when I install a Yoho Mobile eSIM for travel?
Your physical SIM remains in your phone and can function alongside your new Yoho Mobile eSIM. In your iPhone’s settings, you can choose which line to use for data and which for voice calls. This is the core benefit of dual SIM technology. For more details on managing both, check our guide on how to use your primary SIM with a Yoho eSIM.
Is it cheaper to use a Yoho Mobile eSIM on my iPhone XS than my provider’s international roaming?
In almost all cases, yes. International roaming plans from major carriers can be extremely expensive, often charging high daily rates for limited data. Yoho Mobile’s prepaid eSIM plans are designed for travel, offering transparent pricing and significant savings without any hidden fees.
