6 steps from QR to online.

  1. 01

    Open Settings on your phone

    Tap the Settings app from your home screen or app drawer.

  2. 02

    Tap Network & internet

    On Pixel and most Android phones it's called Network & internet. Samsung Galaxy phones may label it Connections.

  3. 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.

  4. 04

    Tap the + button or Add SIM

    Look for a + icon or an Add SIM / Add eSIM action.

  5. 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.

  6. 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 Turkey — typically the moment you land. No manual switch, no carrier app.

Common questions.

Yes. Pixel 9 ships with eSIM hardware and travel.to routes you to a local partner carrier in Turkey. Under-2-minute install, full refund if anything fails.
Yes. travel.to runs as a second line on Pixel 9. Your home number stays on its primary SIM/eSIM and keeps receiving SMS (including 2FA codes from banks).
Full refund if the eSIM fails to activate. Half refund if it activates but underperforms (used <500 MB → full anyway). One click from your dashboard, no email thread.
Yes. Top-ups reuse the same eSIM profile on Pixel 9 — no new QR scan needed. Same line, fresh data.
