How do I install an eSIM on my Huawei device?

Check compatible devices.

Not all Huawei? models are eSIM-compatible, so it is recommended to make sure your device supports eSIM before you start. To find out if your Huawei? device is compatible, please check ESIM AVAILABLE DEVICES on the product page.

When should I install eSIM?

We recommend not setting up eSIM installation too early. The eSIM data plan has a limited number of service days, so if you install it early and activate it, Data billing may begin. Therefore, it is best to install it on the day of travel. In addition, with the exception of a few special eSIMs, most eSIMs provided by Maltalk are calculated based on Hong Kong time (UTC+8) It's a good idea to consider the time carefully. For example, if you have a 1-day serice days eSIM card, and you are currently in London, UK, and it is 13:00 London time, if you choose to activate immediately, the actual calculation start time is 21:00 Hong Kong time, and the actual validity period is only 3 hours.
