STEP‑BY‑STEP UFONE ESIM SETUP

ON IPHONE (IOS 16/17/18)

Connect to Wi‑Fi.
Go to Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) > Add eSIM or Add Cellular Plan.
Scan the Ufone QR code. If asked for confirmation code, use the code printed on your voucher.
Label the line (e.g., “Ufone eSIM”).
Set defaults:
- Default Line: choose Ufone for calls/SMS (or secondary if dual‑line)
- Mobile Data: set Ufone for data; enable Data Roaming if needed
Wait for activation (usually under 5 minutes). Restart if needed.

ON SAMSUNG GALAXY (ONE UI 5/6)

Connect to Wi‑Fi.
Settings > Connections > SIM manager > Add eSIM.
Choose Scan QR code and scan your Ufone QR.
Follow prompts to install. Assign calling/SMS/data preferences.
If network doesn’t appear within 5–10 minutes, restart.

ON GOOGLE PIXEL (ANDROID 13/14)

Connect to Wi‑Fi.
Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > + Add SIM > Download a SIM instead.
Scan the QR and install profile.
Choose calling/SMS/data defaults; restart if required.

POST‑ACTIVATION CHECKS

Make a test call and send an SMS
Run a quick speed test over mobile data
APN settings typically auto‑configure; if data fails, check APN in Mobile Network settings or call 333

TROUBLESHOOTING & PRO TIPS

QR code already used: eSIM QR codes are usually one‑time. Request a replacement at a Ufone center.
“Activation not completed”: Use strong Wi‑Fi, update iOS/Android, restart, and retry. Remove any old/unused eSIM profiles first.
No signal after success: Toggle Airplane Mode, then off; ensure Ufone is set as the active data line; check network selection = Automatic.
Moving to a new phone: Some devices support eSIM transfer/Quick Transfer, but carrier support varies. If it fails, get a fresh eSIM from Ufone.
Dual‑SIM tips: Set Ufone as default for calls or data as needed; use per‑contact line settings on iPhone for better control.
Keep your QR private: Anyone scanning it before you can bind your line to their device.

USERS’ EXPERIENCES IN PAKISTAN

Fast in‑store issuance: Major city service centers (Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad) typically issue eSIM QR within minutes after biometric.
Activation time: Often live in under 5 minutes; sometimes takes up to 30 minutes or a reboot.
Best practice: Activate over Wi‑Fi, then test on 4G data.
Dual‑line convenience: Many users keep a work line on eSIM and a travel/local data eSIM when abroad.
Support: 333 helpline resolves APN or provisioning hiccups quickly; store visits help with number swaps.
