-
01
Open Settings on your iPhone
Tap the Settings app (gray gear icon) from your home screen or App Library.
-
02
Go to Cellular (or Mobile Data)
Scroll to Cellular. On some regions iOS labels this Mobile Data instead.
-
03
Tap Add eSIM
Choose Add eSIM (older iOS calls this Add Cellular Plan).
-
04
Choose Use QR Code
Tap Use QR Code, then open the eSIM email from travel.to on another device and scan the QR.
-
05
Label the line travel.to
When iOS asks for a label, pick travel.to so you can tell it apart from your home SIM.
-
06
Confirm and finish
Confirm the default line settings. Your phone will activate the eSIM on landing — you don't need to do anything else until you reach your destination.
Once installed, the eSIM is dormant until iPhone 16 reaches a partner carrier's network in Croatia — typically the moment you land. No manual switch, no carrier app.

iPhone 16 in Croatia
Common questions.
Yes. iPhone 16 ships with eSIM hardware, and travel.to routes it onto Hrvatski Telekom, A1 Hrvatska, and Telemach in Croatia. The line activates the moment you land — install takes under two minutes and is fully refundable if it fails to activate.
It depends where you bought it. US-market iPhone 16 units are eSIM-only with no physical SIM tray, so the travel.to eSIM is the line you install — there is nothing to swap. International iPhone 16 units keep a physical SIM tray, so your home SIM stays in while travel.to runs on the eSIM.
On iPhone 16 open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM, choose Use QR Code, and scan the QR from your travel.to email. That is 6 taps from QR to online. iOS labels the path "Mobile Data" in some regions.
Under two minutes. The QR arrives by email seconds after payment; 6 taps later the profile is installed on iPhone 16. It stays dormant until you reach a partner network in Croatia (UTC+1 · UTC+2 summer) — usually the instant you land, before you have changed your clock.
In Croatia we route on Hrvatski Telekom, A1 Hrvatska, and Telemach. iPhone 16 hands off automatically to whichever has the strongest signal where you are — you do not pick the carrier, the phone does.
70 – 150 Mbps urban · 40 ms RTT. iPhone 16 negotiates the fastest band the local network offers, so in covered areas you get the same speeds a native SIM would pull on the same carrier.
Default home-carrier roaming in Croatia runs about $14 – 26 per GB. A travel.to plan for Croatia sits an order of magnitude below that, and you never get a surprise bill — you pay once, up front, for the data you chose.
No need. The airport SIM kiosks in Croatia keep limited hours (Zagreb ZAG · daytime · Split SPU seasonal) and you would queue at them with the rest of your flight. Install the travel.to eSIM on iPhone 16 before you board and you walk straight past them, already online.
Three carriers per region · auto-failover below signal threshold iPhone 16 falls back automatically — you never have to switch networks by hand.
Yes. Top-ups reuse the Croatia eSIM profile already on iPhone 16 — no new QR scan, no second install. Same line, fresh data, added from your Croatia order page in one tap.
Full refund if the Croatia eSIM fails to activate on iPhone 16. Half refund if it activates but underperforms on Hrvatski Telekom, A1 Hrvatska, and Telemach (and if you used under 500 MB, you get the full amount). One click from your dashboard — no email thread.
A few iPhone 16-specific notes: US-purchased iPhone 16 has no physical SIM tray — eSIM is the only option. International models have a physical SIM tray plus eSIM, so you can keep your home SIM in and run travel.to on the second line. iOS 18 added a faster QR-scan flow via the Camera app — point and tap. Beyond that, the travel.to install flow in Croatia is the standard iOS path.
