-
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 SE (2020 / 2022) reaches a partner carrier's network in Ecuador — typically the moment you land. No manual switch, no carrier app.

iPhone SE (2020 / 2022) in Ecuador
Common questions.
Yes. iPhone SE (2020 / 2022) ships with eSIM hardware, and travel.to routes it onto Claro, Movistar, and CNT in Ecuador. The line activates the moment you land — install takes under two minutes and is fully refundable if it fails to activate.
Yes. iPhone SE (2020 / 2022) supports dual SIM worldwide, so your home SIM stays in the tray and travel.to installs alongside it as a second line. No swapping, no removing your primary number.
On iPhone SE (2020 / 2022) 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 SE (2020 / 2022). It stays dormant until you reach a partner network in Ecuador (UTC−5 year-round) — usually the instant you land, before you have changed your clock.
In Ecuador we route on Claro, Movistar, and CNT. iPhone SE (2020 / 2022) hands off automatically to whichever has the strongest signal where you are — you do not pick the carrier, the phone does.
25 – 75 Mbps urban · 62 ms RTT. iPhone SE (2020 / 2022) 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 Ecuador runs about $18 – 36 per GB. A travel.to plan for Ecuador 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 Ecuador keep limited hours (Quito UIO · daytime · Guayaquil GYE daytime) and you would queue at them with the rest of your flight. Install the travel.to eSIM on iPhone SE (2020 / 2022) before you board and you walk straight past them, already online.
Three carriers per region · auto-failover below signal threshold iPhone SE (2020 / 2022) falls back automatically — you never have to switch networks by hand.
Yes. Top-ups reuse the Ecuador eSIM profile already on iPhone SE (2020 / 2022) — no new QR scan, no second install. Same line, fresh data, added from your Ecuador order page in one tap.
Full refund if the Ecuador eSIM fails to activate on iPhone SE (2020 / 2022). Half refund if it activates but underperforms on Claro, Movistar, and CNT (and if you used under 500 MB, you get the full amount). One click from your dashboard — no email thread.
A few iPhone SE (2020 / 2022)-specific notes: If you have the original 2016 SE, it does not support eSIM and travel.to won't work on it. Beyond that, the travel.to install flow in Ecuador is the standard iOS path.
