“No physical SIMs. No shops. No nonsense. Just tap, scan, or stare lovingly at a QR code… and boom: you’re connected.” ✨
Let’s dive into how to use Bitcall’s eSIMs for data, calls, or both — in any country. Every plan includes 5G, hotspot and instant activation.
🛍️ 1. Buying Your eSIM
Go to panel.bitcall.io
Open E-SIM > Purchase E-SIM in the left sidebar
Browse available eSIMs:
📦 Global Plans
🌍 Regional Plans (EU, USA, Asia, MENA, etc.)
💾 Data-Only or 📞 Data + Call combos
💰 Important Notes:
✅ In the panel, eSIMs are paid from your Bitcall balance. You can also buy without an account on bitcall.io/esim with just an email, paying by card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay or crypto
✅ An API is available if you want to integrate eSIM orders into your own platform or CRM (API docs: https://docs.bitcall.io/docs/products/esim. Create your API key in the panel under Profile > API Keys; if you don’t see it, ask support to enable it)
✅ You can check all your previous eSIMs from E-SIM > E-SIM Purchase History inside the panel
🚀 2. Installing Your eSIM
After purchase, you’ll instantly get:
A QR code
A magic button for iOS
Manual install details (SM-DP+ address, activation code)
📲 Option A:
One-Tap Install (iOS only)
When you receive your confirmation email:
👉 Tap the button labeled “Activate eSIM” (in the panel it is “Install on this iPhone”)
Apple will prompt you to add the eSIM directly.
💡 No scanning. No typing. Just tap.
📸 Option B:
Scan the QR Code
For most devices (iPhone, Android, Pixel, Samsung, etc.):
Open device settings → Mobile / Cellular / SIM
Tap “Add eSIM” or “Add Mobile Plan”
Scan the QR code shown in your email or panel
🤳 Option C:
Hold the QR Code on Your Phone
If the eSIM QR code is open on your screen (phone/tablet):
iOS will prompt: “Would you like to install this eSIM?”
Just tap Yes. That’s it.
⌨️ Option D:
Manual Setup
Advanced users or devices with eSIM config menus:
Copy the SM-DP+ address and activation code from the email
Go to:
Settings → Mobile Network → Add eSIM manually
Paste both fields when prompted. If your plan has a Confirmation Code, enter that too.
🔄 3. Managing Your eSIMs
Go to E-SIM > E-SIM Purchase History in your Bitcall panel and open Details on an order:
📆 See past orders
🌎 View plan info & activation status
🔁 See your QR code and install details again in Details (an eSIM can be installed only once, so don’t reinstall it)
📦 4. eSIM Types Explained

🎉 Pro Tips
Use Global Data plans when traveling across multiple countries
An eSIM can be installed only once, so install it on the phone you will use. Don’t delete it or try to reinstall it. If it doesn’t work, contact support within 72 hours of trying to install or activate it and we’ll fix it or refund it
