OPPO continues to innovate in the world of mobile connectivity by integrating eSIM support into several of its flagship devices. If you're looking for a seamless and flexible way to manage your mobile connections without the need for a physical SIM card, OPPO's eSIM-ready smartphones offer a convenient solution. Popular models such as the OPPO Find X3, Find X3 Pro, Find N2 Flip, Find X5, Find X5 Pro, Find X8, and Find X8 Pro—come equipped with eSIM functionality, allowing users to switch carriers, activate plans remotely, and enjoy hassle-free connectivity.

However, it's important to note that not all OPPO models include eSIM support. For example, the OPPO Lite series does not feature eSIM compatibility. If you're considering using eSIM, be sure to check that your device is on the list of supported models to ensure a smooth setup process.

Before You Begin: What You Need for a Successful eSIM Setup

Before setting up an eSIM on your OPPO smartphone, make sure you have the following:

  • An eSIM-compatible OPPO device – Not all OPPO smartphones support eSIM, so double-check that your model is on the compatible list.

  • An unlocked device – Your phone must be unlocked to activate an eSIM from any carrier. If your device is locked to a specific network, you may need to contact your carrier to unlock it.

  • A stable internet connection – A strong Wi-Fi connection or reliable 4G/5G signal is required for downloading and activating your eSIM profile.

With these essentials in place, you're ready to set up your eSIM and experience the freedom of a fully digital mobile connection. Let’s get started!

Step-by-Step Guide to Activating Global YO eSIM+ on OPPO Phones Using QR Code

Step 1: Open up the Global YO app on your OPPO phone. Once inside, look for the “My eSIM” bubble where you can manage your eSIM activations and settings. Then, find the ‘Install this eSIM' banner and tap on it. This kicks off the process of installing your eSIM onto your OPPO device.

Step 2: With your QR code ready, navigate to the ‘Settings' icon on your OPPO phone. In ‘Settings', head to the ‘Mobile Network' section where you'll find a bunch of options related to your device's connectivity.

Step 4: Once your eSIM plan is detected, tap on ‘Download’ to proceed. Wait for the eSIM to be installed onto your OPPO device. This might take up to 10 minutes. When your eSIM is installed, press the “Settings” button in the bottom right corner to activate it. Make sure that your “Data Roaming” is on.

After detecting your eSIM plan, tap 'Add' to continue to install eSIM

Step 5: Return to the Global YO app and click “Activate Now' on the My eSIMs screen. Your plan's expiry will start from this point. If you're not planning to use your data right away, stick with your local SIM and swap later in your device settings. We recommend activating your plan before you travel, as you'll need a stable internet connection to access the Global YO app.

Once connected to the supported network, your eSIM will enable cellular/mobile data usage automatically on eSIM compatible devices

Step 6: Congratulations! Your eSIM has been successfully installed and activated. You will be able to use cellular/mobile data once your eSIM is connected to the supported network automatically. You're now ready to enjoy seamless connectivity with your OPPO device.
