Setting Up eSIM on Tablets and Laptops

The setup process is similar to smartphones:

• Navigate to your device's cellular or network settings
• Select the option to add a cellular plan or eSIM
• Scan the QR code from your eSIM provider
• Wait for the profile to download and activate
• Configure the connection as your preferred or fallback internet source

On Windows laptops, you can find cellular settings under Settings, Network & Internet, and then Cellular. On iPads, the process is identical to iPhone eSIM setup.

A laptop with an eSIM turns any location into your office. No more asking for WiFi passwords, dealing with captive portals, or worrying about public network security.
