Installing a QuiqSim travel eSIM takes one tap inside WhatsApp. After you pay, an activation link arrives in the same WhatsApp chat. Tap it on the phone you'll travel with, while connected to Wi-Fi, and the eSIM installs on your device in under 60 seconds. No QR code to scan from a second device. No email to dig through. No separate app to open. The entire installation runs from the same WhatsApp thread where you bought the eSIM.
Step-by-step
1. Stay on Wi-Fi. Install the eSIM while connected to a Wi-Fi network. The eSIM provisioning needs internet to authenticate with the carrier, and you want to do this before you land in destination (when you might not have data). 2. Open the WhatsApp chat with QuiqSim. The activation link is in the same thread where you completed payment. 3. Tap the activation link. The link opens your phone's native eSIM installer (Settings on iOS, the carrier setup wizard on Android). 4. Confirm the install. Your phone shows the carrier name, the data plan, and the activation. Tap "Install" or "Add eSIM." 5. Label the new line. Your phone asks what to name the new line — "Travel" or "QuiqSim" works. 6. Choose your default lines. Phone asks which line is default for voice/SMS (usually your original SIM) and which is default for data (the new travel eSIM, once you arrive in destination).
Common installation questions
Should I install before I fly? Yes — install on Wi-Fi at home or in the airport before takeoff. The eSIM stays inactive (not consuming data) until you switch your data line to it in destination.
Can I install on the same phone the WhatsApp message arrived on? Yes. QuiqSim's activation link is a one-tap install that runs directly on the device that received the WhatsApp message. No second device or QR code scan needed.
What if the activation link doesn't open? The link should open your phone's eSIM installer. If nothing happens, message QuiqSim back in the same chat and you'll get help in seconds.
Installing a travel eSIM does not affect your existing phone number, WhatsApp identity, or original SIM. The eSIM is added alongside your existing line.
