Ready to install your new aloSIM eSIM on any compatible Google Pixel device? Great! You can choose a QR Code installation or a manual installation.

QR CODE INSTALLATION (Google Pixel):

1. Go to "Settings" then "Network & Internet"
2. Select the plus + next to "SIMs" or "Mobile network" and select "Don't have a SIM card?" or "Download a SIM instead"
3. Depending on your model, you may need to select “Advanced Mobile Operators” and add a new operator
4. (If it asks if you want to use Dual SIM, choose "No." You can set that up later if you'd like.)
5. Scan your aloSIM QR code
6. Confirm the eSIM installation 
7. If you're prompted to choose a phone number, select your primary SIM
8. Make sure your eSIM's name is "aloSIM" and its APN is also "alosim" (If you've never done that before and you'd like a little more guidance, we have a separate post with instructions.)

ACCESSING YOUR DATA:

Remember, you must be located in your data package's country/region in order to connect to a network. (So don't try to activate a vacation data package if you're still at home, because you won't be able to reach those networks yet.)

1. Go to "Settings" then "Network & Internet"
2. Tap "Mobile network,” select your new eSIM, and toggle "Use eSIM" on
3. Remember that roaming should be ON for aloSIM, but OFF for your Primary SIM (if you have one) to avoid roaming charges with your primary carrier

MANUAL INSTALLATION (Google Pixel):

1. Go to "Settings" then "Network & Internet"
2. Select the plus + next to "SIMs" or "Mobile network" and select "Don't have a SIM card?" or "Download a SIM instead"

4. (If it asks if you want to use Dual SIM, choose "No." You can set that up later if you'd like.)
5. Select “Use Activation Code” and enter your eSIM details (SM-DP address and Activation Code)
6. Confirm the eSIM installation 
7. If you're prompted to choose a phone number, select your primary SIM
8. Make sure your eSIM's name is "aloSIM" and its APN is also "alosim" (If you've never done that before and you'd like a little more guidance, we have a separate post with instructions.)

Remember that eSIMs can only be installed once, on a single device, and eSIMs should not be deleted even after your package expires (because you may want to top it up someday).
