Before You Start: Checking Honor Device Compatibility
First things first: not all Honor phones support eSIM technology. It’s typically found in newer, higher-end models like the Honor Magic series. Before purchasing a plan, it’s crucial to check if your specific device is compatible.
Here’s how to quickly check if your Honor phone is eSIM compatible:
- Go to Settings on your phone.
- Tap on Mobile network.
- Select SIM management.
- Look for an option like “Add eSIM” or “eSIM management”. If you see this option, your phone supports eSIMs!
If you don’t find this option, your device likely doesn’t have an eSIM chip. For a definitive answer, you can also consult Honor’s official website for your model’s specifications or check our comprehensive eSIM compatible device list.
Step-by-Step Guide: Activating Your Yoho Mobile eSIM on Honor
Once you’ve confirmed your Honor phone is eSIM-ready, the activation process is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to get connected.
Step 1: Purchase Your Yoho Mobile eSIM Plan
Head over to the Yoho Mobile website and browse our range of flexible data plans. Whether you need data for a week-long trip to Japan or a month-long European adventure, you can create a plan that fits your exact needs. Choose your destination, data amount, and duration, and complete the purchase. You’ll receive an email with your activation details shortly after.
Step 2: Locate Your Activation Details
Check your email inbox for the confirmation from Yoho Mobile. This email will contain a QR code and, in some cases, manual activation details. Keep this email handy, as you’ll need it to set up the eSIM on your Honor device.
Step 3: Add the eSIM in Your Honor Phone’s Settings
Now, grab your Honor phone and navigate back to the SIM management screen:
- Open Settings > Mobile network > SIM management.
- Tap on the + Add eSIM button. Your phone will now prepare to add a new digital SIM profile.
Step 4: Scan the QR Code or Enter Details Manually
Your Honor phone will prompt you to scan a QR code. This is the easiest way to install your eSIM.
- Scan QR Code: Use your Honor phone’s camera to scan the QR code from the email you received. It’s easiest to have the QR code open on another device like a laptop or tablet.
- Manual Entry: If you can’t scan the code, select the option to enter details manually. Copy and paste the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code from your confirmation email into the required fields.
Your phone will then connect to the server and download the eSIM profile. This may take a minute or two.
Step 5: Label and Configure Your New eSIM
Once the eSIM is downloaded, your phone will recognize it as a new SIM. To avoid confusion, it’s a good idea to label it. You can name it “Yoho Travel” or “My eSIM,” for example.
Next, you’ll need to configure its usage:
- Default mobile data: Set your new Yoho Mobile eSIM as the primary source for mobile data.
- Calls/SMS: You can choose to keep your primary physical SIM for calls and texts.
- Enable Data Roaming: Make sure to turn on Data Roaming for your Yoho Mobile eSIM to ensure it connects to local networks when you’re abroad.
Managing Your Honor Dual SIM Setup
One of the biggest advantages of eSIM is the ability to use a dual SIM setup. You can keep your home physical SIM in your Honor phone for receiving calls and important texts (like bank OTPs) while using your Yoho Mobile eSIM for affordable travel data. You can easily switch which SIM is used for data through the SIM management settings, giving you full control over your connectivity and costs. This flexibility is core to the eSIM standard defined by the GSMA.
