How do I activate a Mint Mobile plan with eSIM?

If your phone supports Mint Mobile eSIM and you’ve selected ‘eSIM Delivery’ at checkout, you can activate a plan in minutes without having to wait for a physical SIM card to be shipped to you.

Tip: During the activation process, you’ll have the option to transfer your current phone number or get a new one. If you’re transferring your current number, be sure to grab some information from your current carrier first, like your account number, PIN or passcode, and billing address associated with your phone.

How to activate eSIM in the Mint Mobile app

Activating with eSIM is easiest in the Mint Mobile app. Download the Mint Mobile app to your phone, open it and select “Activate your SIM card.” The app should detect if your phone is eSIM compatible and walk you through activating your plan and installing your eSIM in minutes.

Once you’ve confirmed your phone is eSIM compatible and you’ve purchased a plan with “eSIM Delivery,” you’ll find yourself on the order confirmation page.
