Airalo eSIM: A Simple Guide

How to Install and Use an Airalo eSIM, Step by Step

If you have never used an eSIM before, don’t worry. Installing and using Airalo is much easier than it may seem. Below is a simple, step-by-step guide to help you get started.


1. Install the Airalo App

First, make sure your phone is compatible with eSIM technology (most recent smartphones are).

  • Go to the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android)

  • Search for Airalo

  • Download and install the app

Once installed, open the app and create an account using your email address.


2. Buy an eSIM for Your Destination

In the Airalo app:

  • Select the country or region you will be traveling to

  • Choose a data plan that fits your needs (for example, 5 GB or 10 GB)

  • Before completing your purchase, enter the promo code WINGBUDDY10
    This gives you 10% off the price of your eSIM

After payment, your eSIM will be ready to install.


3. Install the eSIM on Your Phone

Airalo will guide you through the installation process directly in the app.

  • Follow the on-screen instructions

  • The eSIM will be added automatically in your phone’s settings

  • The process usually takes only a few minutes

It is recommended to install the eSIM before you leave, while you are still connected to Wi-Fi at home.


4. Activate and Use Data While Traveling

Once you arrive at your destination:

  • Go to your phone’s cellular settings

  • Turn on the Airalo eSIM for mobile data

  • If needed, turn off data roaming on your regular mobile plan

Your phone will then connect to the local network, and you can use your data normally:

  • Check emails

  • Use Google Maps

  • Browse the internet

  • Stay in touch with family and friends
