-
01
Open Settings on your phone
Tap the Settings app from your home screen or app drawer.
-
02
Tap Network & internet
On Pixel and most Android phones it's called Network & internet. Samsung Galaxy phones may label it Connections.
-
03
Open SIMs (or SIM card manager)
Tap SIMs on Pixel, or SIM card manager on Samsung. You'll see your current SIM lines listed.
-
04
Tap the + button or Add SIM
Look for a + icon or an Add SIM / Add eSIM action.
-
05
Choose Download a SIM instead?
When the phone asks if you have a physical SIM, choose Download a SIM instead — that's the eSIM path.
-
06
Scan the QR code from your email
Open the eSIM email from travel.to on another device and point your phone's camera at the QR code.
Once installed, the eSIM is dormant until Pixel 9 reaches a partner carrier's network in Ireland — typically the moment you land. No manual switch, no carrier app.

Pixel 9 in Ireland
Common questions.
Yes. Pixel 9 ships with eSIM hardware, and travel.to routes it onto Vodafone Ireland, Three Ireland, and Eir in Ireland. 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 Pixel 9 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 Pixel 9 units keep a physical SIM tray, so your home SIM stays in while travel.to runs on the eSIM.
On Pixel 9 open Settings → Network & internet → SIMs (Samsung calls it SIM card manager under Connections), tap Add SIM, choose "Download a SIM instead", and scan the QR from your travel.to email — 6 taps total.
Under two minutes. The QR arrives by email seconds after payment; 6 taps later the profile is installed on Pixel 9. It stays dormant until you reach a partner network in Ireland (UTC · UTC+1 summer) — usually the instant you land, before you have changed your clock.
In Ireland we route on Vodafone Ireland, Three Ireland, and Eir. Pixel 9 hands off automatically to whichever has the strongest signal where you are — you do not pick the carrier, the phone does.
90 – 160 Mbps urban · 34 ms RTT. Pixel 9 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 Ireland runs about $12 – 22 per GB. A travel.to plan for Ireland 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 Ireland keep limited hours (Dublin DUB T1/T2 · 05:30 – 22:30) and you would queue at them with the rest of your flight. Install the travel.to eSIM on Pixel 9 before you board and you walk straight past them, already online.
Three carriers per region · auto-failover below signal threshold Pixel 9 falls back automatically — you never have to switch networks by hand.
Yes. Top-ups reuse the Ireland eSIM profile already on Pixel 9 — no new QR scan, no second install. Same line, fresh data, added from your Ireland order page in one tap.
Full refund if the Ireland eSIM fails to activate on Pixel 9. Half refund if it activates but underperforms on Vodafone Ireland, Three Ireland, and Eir (and if you used under 500 MB, you get the full amount). One click from your dashboard — no email thread.
A few Pixel 9-specific notes: US Pixel 9 has no SIM tray — eSIM is the only option; international units keep a physical nano-SIM slot plus eSIM. Pixel 9 runs two lines at once (DSDS), so travel.to can sit alongside your home eSIM. On the 9 Pro Fold you can scan the QR from either the cover or the unfolded display. Beyond that, the travel.to install flow in Ireland is the standard Android path.
