Full Steps
Adding the Nomad Stays (Yesim) by scanning the QR Code

Go to your device Settings, tap on Cellular, and choose Add Cellular Plan.
2. On the Set Up Cellular screen, select Use QR code.
3. Point your iPhone camera at the QR code received on mail or sent to other device.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions. Proceed to the next step after confirmation.
5. Label your data plan as Nomad Stays for easy identification. You can change labels later in Settings. Choose Primary for iMessage, FaceTime, and Apple ID or simply tap Continue without selecting any.
6. If you want to start using the plan immediately, choose newly added Nomad Stays (Yesim) as your Mobile Data. Select Primary as your Default Line.
7. If you want to start using the plan immediately, make sure the Nomad Stays (Yesim) profile is turned on as well as Data Roaming.
Once our eSIM is correctly installed, and you are in a compatible country, you are ready to activate and use Mobile Internet! It may take up to 5–10 minutes for the eSIM to find connectivity after the plan has been activated.
