In this guide there is a step-by-step walkthrough you can use when installing an eSIM on your Huawei device.

Installing an eSIM Manually

Before attempting to install the eSIM, there are three main things you will need:

A strong internet connection - Ideally you will need to be connected to Wi-Fi or have a good internet connection.
An eSIM compatible device - If you are unsure whether your device is compatible with eSIMs, please check the following article: List of compatible devices
The device is network unlocked - If you are unsure whether or not your device is locked to a certain network, please check the following article: Locked/unlocked devices

Do not forget to turn on Data Roaming once the installation is complete.
