Practical setup, arrival, and mistake-prevention guidance
Compatibility checklist (before you buy)
- Confirm your device: iPhone 15 Pro Max with the latest iOS recommended. Check Settings > General > About for iOS version.
- Verify your iPhone is carrier-unlocked. Check with your home carrier or use Settings > General > About > Carrier Lock.
- Plan to use eSIM + physical SIM if needed—iPhone 15 Pro Max supports Dual SIM (eSIM + physical).
- Check plan terms for hotspot/tethering allowance before relying on tethering for other devices.
Install on iPhone 15 Pro Max — QR code (fast method)
- Open Settings > Cellular > Add Cellular Plan.
- Scan the NexaEsim QR code sent by email; grant camera permission if prompted.
- When prompted, label the plan (example: "Barbados – NexaEsim") and set line defaults (voice, text, cellular data).
