Android have introduced the ability for users to install their eSIM directly onto their device by clicking a simple link.
The Universal Link install method works by adding the unique SMDP+ address and Activation Code onto the end of a universal link.
An example of a link would look is as follows:
https://esimsetup.android.com/esim_qrcode_provisioning?carddata=LPA:1$SMDP+_Address$Activation_Code
For example,
Please note:
- The base URL must be all in lowercase, the Activation Code may contain capitalisation.
- If building the link into an app, it must be configured as an external link that opens up outside the app rather than an internal link.
The LPA information for an eSIM can be found by calling our Get eSIM details and status endpoint.
As an eSIM Go customer, you can take advantage of this new feature by embedding links such as this within a button in your application. This will provide your users with a way to install their eSIM without needing to scan the QR code or manually input the information.
