Before You Begin: A Quick Checklist
To ensure your eSIM activation on your Honor phone goes smoothly, make sure you have the following ready:
- A stable Wi-Fi connection: You’ll need internet access to download and install the eSIM profile.
- An unlocked Honor Magic V5: The device must be carrier-unlocked to accept an eSIM from another provider. You can learn more about carrier locks on the GSMA website.
- Your Yoho Mobile QR Code: After purchasing your plan, you’ll receive a confirmation email containing your unique QR code for activation.
Step-by-Step Guide: Activating Your Yoho Mobile eSIM on Honor Magic V5
This Honor V5 eSIM activation guide makes the process incredibly simple. Follow these steps to get connected.
Step 1: Access eSIM Settings
First, unlock your Honor Magic V5 and open the Settings app. Tap on “Mobile network” and then select “SIM management”.
Step 2: Add an eSIM
Inside SIM management, you’ll see your active physical SIM (if any). Look for an option that says “Add eSIM” or a “+” icon next to the eSIM section. Tap on it.
Step 3: Scan the QR Code
Your phone will now activate its camera to scan a QR code. Open the confirmation email from Yoho Mobile on another device (like a laptop or tablet) or from a printed copy. Position your Honor Magic V5’s camera over the QR code until it’s recognized.
Pro-Tip: If you cannot scan the code for any reason, look for a “Manual input” or “Enter details manually” option. You can then copy and paste the activation details from your confirmation email.
Step 4: Confirm and Activate
Your phone will display the details of the Yoho Mobile plan. Review it and tap “Add” or “Activate” to download and install the eSIM profile. This process usually takes less than a minute.
Step 5: Label Your eSIM and Set Preferences
Once installed, it’s a great idea to label your new eSIM (e.g., “Yoho Travel Data”) to easily distinguish it from your primary SIM. You can also set its role. For travel, you’ll want to set your Yoho Mobile eSIM as the preferred SIM for “Mobile data”. You can keep your primary SIM for calls and texts.

Managing Your Yoho Mobile eSIM for Seamless Travel
Now that you’ve completed the Honor Magic V5 eSIM setup, managing it is easy. You can turn your eSIM on or off anytime from the “SIM management” settings.
When your data runs low, there’s no need to worry. You can easily perform a manual top-up directly through the Yoho Mobile app or website. And for ultimate peace of mind, our Yoho Care service ensures you have a backup connection even if you run out of your high-speed data, so you’re never truly disconnected.
