Where to add it: open Settings > Network & internet > SIMs, then tap the add (+) option or "Download a SIM instead?" and scan the QR code.
Find your EID: go to Settings > About phone and look for the EID, or dial *#06# in the Phone app.
Travel tip: after installing, switch mobile data to the travel eSIM and turn off data roaming on your main SIM to avoid surprise charges.
Menu names: AQUOS uses a near-stock Android layout, but labels can differ slightly between software versions.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM, install the profile on Wi-Fi before you leave and activate it when you land. Your main number stays active for calls, SMS and WhatsApp.
