If you’ve recently transferred your number to Ting, switched to an eSIM, or activated a new number on an eSIM, you’ll need to complete the setup on your device once your number is active with Ting.
Setting up your eSIM is simple. We'll email you the activation details and you can choose one of two options:
- Scan the QR code: Just scan it with your device to process the setup.
- Manually enter the activation details: Follow the steps provided in our email to enter the details into your device.
- If you are using an iPhone, the eSIM information should download automatically. If there are any issues, you can scan the QR or manually add the eSIM information.
Find your QR code.
Look for the email we sent with your QR code after completing your Ting activation. The email is sent to your Ting account email.
