To activate your eSIM in Samsung device: Go to Settings > Connections > SIM Manager > Select your Holafly eSIM and make sure that is active >  Go back to Connections > Mobile Network >  Turn on Data Roaming.

And that's it! Now you have your data plan active and can enjoy an excellent connection on your trip.

To keep in mind

Installation is only possible when you are connected to a strong wifi network, so avoid public networks such as airports or parks. Also, there are devices where installation is better in one way than another, therefore, if you have already tried to install via QR code and it does not work, you can try to do it manually and vice versa. Finally, if you activated your eSIM ahead of time, remember to keep it off until you reach your destination.
