Yoho Mobile offers a direct installation method for iOS users, which is the simplest and fastest way to get started. You won’t need to scan a QR code or manually type in any activation details.
Here’s the step-by-step process:
- Purchase Your Plan: If you haven’t already, go to the Yoho Mobile website and purchase the eSIM plan that best suits your travel needs.

- Tap to Install: Find your new eSIM plan and simply tap the “Install” button. This will automatically trigger the installation process on your iPhone.
- Follow iOS Prompts: Your iPhone will now guide you. You’ll see prompts like “Add Cellular Plan”. Tap “Continue” and follow the on-screen instructions. The entire process typically takes less than a minute.
- Label Your eSIM: iOS will ask you to label your new plan. We recommend naming it something easy to identify, like “Yoho Travel” or “International Data.” This helps you distinguish it from your primary SIM.
- Set Your Default Lines: Choose which line to use for calls/texts and which to use for cellular data. For travel, you should set your Yoho Mobile eSIM as the default for Cellular Data to avoid roaming charges on your primary line.
That’s it! Your Yoho Mobile eSIM is now active and ready to use.
