Effortless Samsung Galaxy A36 5G eSIM Setup Guide (And Other Samsung Phones)

Setting up an eSIM on the Samsung Galaxy A36 5G is a straightforward process, and the best part? It’s nearly identical across other Samsung devices like the A56, S25, S25+, S25 Edge, S25 Ultra and others running One UI 7.

In this guide, I walk you through the simple steps to activate your eSIM, drawing inspiration from Mr. Mobility’s insightful YouTube video demonstration. Whether you’re upgrading to the budget-friendly Galaxy A36 5G or exploring the premium S25 series, his detailed Youtube tutorial ensures you can seamlessly connect to your carrier’s network using eSIM technology. Say goodbye to physical SIM cards and discover how to get started with these modern Samsung smartphones in minutes!

What You Need to Know Before Starting

When you activate an eSIM on these devices, you will lose one of your dual physical nano SIM slots. This means you’ll be able to use only one physical SIM card alongside one eSIM simultaneously.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Your eSIM

1. Go to Settings: Open your phone’s settings menu.
   
2. Tap Connections: This is where you manage network settings.
   
3. Select SIM Manager: Scroll down and tap on SIM Manager.
   
4. Add eSIM: Tap on “Add eSIM.”
   
   • Your phone will notify you that one of your physical SIM slots will be disabled when you add an eSIM.
     
5. Search or Scan:
   
   • Your phone will try to search for any available eSIM profiles on the device.
     
   • If none are found, select “Scan QR Code.”
     
6. Activate Your eSIM:
   
   • Your network provider will usually send you a QR code and an activation code.
     
   • You can either scan the QR code or manually enter the activation code.
     
7. Confirmation:
   
   • Once the eSIM is added, your second physical SIM slot will be disabled.
     

The eSIM line will now show up in your SIM manager and signal status.

A Quick Note

In the demo by Mr. Mobility, he used an eSIM that he had previously activated on another phone, but if it were a new one, it would just add normally and show as active. Once the eSIM is active, you can use it like any regular SIM line.
