Google Pixel: add the profile
On a compatible, unlocked Pixel, connect to reliable internet. Open Settings, Network & internet, SIMs, Add SIM, then Set up an eSIM. Follow the provider’s app or QR instructions for a new travel plan.
Select the travel SIM as the mobile-data line in SIM preferences. Calls and texts have their own preferences. Turn off Automatic data switching if you do not want the other line to supply data when the travel connection is unavailable. Menu wording depends on the Android version and carrier.
Samsung Galaxy: use SIM manager
On a supported Galaxy, open Settings, Connections, SIM manager, then Add eSIM. Choose Scan QR code when that is the method your provider supplied. Follow the on-screen steps and any restart instruction. Older software can call these controls SIM card manager and Add mobile plan.
Return to SIM manager and choose the travel line for mobile data. Review the separate calling and messaging preferences and any automatic data-switching option. Other Android brands use different menus, so follow the device manufacturer’s current guide rather than assuming the Samsung path applies.
Enable Yesim roaming on the travel line
After reaching Italy, enable the installed travel line and select it for mobile data. Yesim requires mobile data and data roaming on its own profile. Keep home-line data roaming off and check which SIM a roaming control applies to before changing it.
Turn Wi-Fi off briefly and load a fresh web page. If there is no connection, check plan activation, data balance and the selected line before changing APN or network settings. Follow the provider’s exact values when manual settings are required; do not borrow settings from another eSIM brand.
