Activating your Ecuador Abroad eSIM is a breeze! First, you'll receive a QR code via email after your purchase. We suggest scanning this QR code and installing the eSIM profile on your phone while you're still on a reliable Wi-Fi network, ideally before you depart. Once you land in Ecuador, simply enable your newly installed eSIM in your phone settings, and it will automatically connect to a local partner network like Claro or Movistar. Your data plan's validity period begins at this first connection.
