How to install and turn on an eSIM

Four steps. The first three are done at home over Wi-Fi, the last one after landing. You buy and receive the eSIM in the Telegram bot @proon_esim_bot. Settings paths may differ slightly between system versions.

Step 1

Check your phone

  • Dial *#06# in the Phone app. An EID line means eSIM is supported.
  • The phone must not be carrier-locked. If unsure, ask the seller or your carrier.
  • See the device list.
Step 2

Choose a plan and pay in Telegram

  • Pick a country or region, the data amount and validity. "Buy in Telegram" opens the @proon_esim_bot bot with that plan.
  • In the bot, enter an email in case we need to reach you about the order and pay. Payment: Russian bank card or SBP in roubles, or crypto via CryptoBot in US dollars.
  • After payment an operator issues the eSIM: usually within 30 minutes, 9:00–23:00 Moscow time; night orders in the morning. The bot chat gets the QR code, the SM-DP+ address and activation code for manual entry, an "Install on iPhone" link and instructions. The QR code is not emailed.
  • "My eSIMs" in the bot shows status, remaining data and validity; top-ups and a refund request for a not-installed eSIM are there too.

Open the bot

Step 3 · iPhone

Install on iPhone

  1. Connect to Wi-Fi.
  2. iOS 17.4 and later: tap the "Install on iPhone" link in the bot chat on that iPhone and follow the prompts.
  3. Or through settings: Settings → Cellular (Mobile Data) → Add eSIM → "Use QR Code", then scan the code from another screen.
  4. Label the line, for example "ProON eSIM". Keep your main number for calls.
  5. If the QR will not scan or is open on the same phone: "Enter Details Manually" with the SM-DP+ address and activation code from the bot message.
Step 3 · Android

Install on Android

  1. Connect to Wi-Fi.
  2. Samsung: Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM.
  3. Google Pixel: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Download a SIM.
  4. Scan the QR code from the bot chat on another screen: a computer, a tablet or a second phone.
  5. If the QR will not scan or there is no second screen, choose manual entry and paste the SM-DP+ address and activation code from the bot message.
Step 4

Turn it on after landing

  1. Turn on the eSIM line and select it for mobile data.
  2. Turn on Data Roaming for the eSIM itself — this is expected and costs nothing extra.
  3. Turn off data roaming on your main SIM so your carrier does not charge you.
  4. Wait 1–2 minutes: the phone joins a partner network by itself.

If there is no data

  • Toggle airplane mode or restart the phone.
  • Check that the eSIM is selected for mobile data and has data roaming on.
  • Try selecting the network manually: Settings → Cellular → eSIM → Network Selection.
  • Do not delete the eSIM and message support on Telegram with your order number.
