How to set up your eSIM
Check compatibility & buy eSIM
Make sure your Sony Xperia Ace III supports eSIM, and buy your eSIM in the BuddySIM shop.
Install eSIM
Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM → enter the activation details from your email or scan the QR code.
The eSIM's mobile data only activates in your destination country — before that an error message may appear. That's normal, since the data is intended for your destination only.

In your destination, go to Settings → Connections → Mobile networks, turn on data roaming and select the BuddySIM eSIM as your line for mobile data — done, you are online.
