To set up a Mint Mobile eSIM, use the Mint Mobile app on Wi-Fi, enter the 11-digit eSIM activation code from your order email, and follow the prompts for your phone. Before you start, confirm that the phone supports eSIM and is unlocked. If you’re transferring your number, keep your old service active and wait for the transfer to finish before installing the eSIM.

Before you start

  • Check compatibility and unlock status. Look up your exact phone model with Mint Mobile’s compatibility checker. The phone must support eSIM and be unlocked; eSIM support alone does not make a carrier-locked phone eligible. If your device is not eSIM-compatible, Mint offers a physical SIM option. See Mint’s eSIM information.
  • Update your phone and connect to reliable Wi-Fi. Mint recommends updating the operating system and using Wi-Fi for activation and installation.
  • Find your activation details. Have the 11-digit eSIM activation code from the email address used at checkout ready. If you’re keeping your number, also get your current carrier’s account number, transfer PIN or PIN, and billing ZIP code. The exact transfer details can vary by carrier.
  • Keep your old carrier service active. Do not cancel it before activation and any number transfer are complete. Mint advises completing the transfer before installing the eSIM; track it in the Mint app or wait for Mint’s confirmation email. Most transfers take a few minutes, but some take longer.

Activate a new Mint eSIM

Mint’s activation process is app-led, but the phone settings and labels differ between iPhone and Android. Mint publishes separate platform guides and videos, so follow the prompts for your device rather than applying Android menu names to an iPhone. Its written activation instructions expose a specific Android flow; for iPhone, use the app’s prompts and Mint’s activation guide.

Start in the Mint Mobile app

  1. Connect to Wi-Fi, then download or open the Mint Mobile app.
  2. Choose Activate Your SIM Card.
  3. Enter the 11-digit eSIM activation code from your order confirmation email. The app should detect whether the phone supports eSIM.
  4. Choose whether to get a new number or transfer your current number. A new number skips the transfer steps. To transfer, enter the requested phone number, ZIP code, carrier, and account or transfer credentials.
  5. Submit the transfer request if you’re porting a number, and finish creating your Mint account. Wait for the transfer to complete before proceeding to eSIM installation.

Install the eSIM on iPhone

After the number transfer is complete, continue through the iPhone-specific installation prompts in the Mint app. Use the emailed QR code when prompted, or choose manual entry if scanning does not work. The written Mint instructions do not provide a complete iPhone menu-by-menu activation sequence, so use the current app prompts and Mint’s iPhone activation guide rather than relying on Android labels.

Install the eSIM on Android

After the number transfer is complete, select QR-code installation in the Mint app and scan the QR code from the confirmation email. If QR installation is unavailable or fails, use manual entry and copy the SM-DP+ address and activation code supplied by Mint. Android menu names and eSIM settings vary by manufacturer and model.

Transfer an existing number Provide the requested number, carrier, ZIP code, account number, and transfer PIN or PIN. Keep the old service active and wait for the transfer to complete before installing the eSIM.
QR installation Scan the QR code Mint sends in the confirmation email. This is the straightforward installation route when the code displays and scans correctly.
