The Huawei Pura 70 Pro supports eSIM on compatible regional variants, which makes it a practical phone for adding an iRoamly travel eSIM before a trip. This guide assumes a global Huawei Pura 70 Pro running EMUI 14.2, with menu labels such as Wireless & networks, Mobile network, and SIM management.

Travelers often install an iRoamly eSIM so they can use mobile data after landing without changing a physical SIM card. Menu names can vary slightly by software version, region, or carrier firmware, so check that your phone shows an eSIM option before purchase or installation.

This guide covers both setup paths: scanning the iRoamly QR code and entering the manual eSIM details. Manual entry is useful if the QR code is on the same phone, the camera cannot scan it, or the QR code email is easier to copy from another device.

Before You Set Up Your iRoamly eSIM

  • Connect the Huawei Pura 70 Pro to stable Wi-Fi before you start.

  • Confirm that your phone is unlocked and that your regional model supports eSIM.

  • Keep your iRoamly QR code, SM-DP+ Address, Activation Code, and optional Confirmation Code available.

  • Install the eSIM 1-2 days before travel when the plan allows it, but do not activate travel data too early if your plan starts on activation.

  • iRoamly eSIM validity starts from activation. Check the current iRoamly plan details for the exact activation trigger, such as installation or first connection to a supported destination network.

  • iRoamly eSIM plans may not include voice calls or SMS. Voice/SMS availability varies by plan, so check the plan details before relying on those services.

  • Do not delete the eSIM after installation unless iRoamly support tells you to. Many travel eSIM profiles cannot be reinstalled after removal.

How to Confirm Your iRoamly eSIM Is Installed

  1. Go to Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile network > SIM management.

Confirm that an eSIM profile such as iRoamly Travel Data appears and is switched on.

Turn On eSIM on Huawei Pura 70 Pro

  1. Check whether the phone shows signal or a mobile-data indicator after you arrive in the covered destination.

If your iRoamly plan is data-only, test with a browser or messaging app instead of SMS or calls.

Configure eSIM for Mobile Data

  1. In SIM management, tap Default mobile data.

Select iRoamly Travel Data as the line used for mobile data.

  1. Return to Mobile network, then turn on Mobile data.

This allows the Huawei Pura 70 Pro to use the selected iRoamly eSIM for internet access.

  1. Turn on Data roaming if the iRoamly plan or destination instructions require it.

Most travel eSIMs need roaming enabled because the service connects through partner networks abroad.

  1. Turn off automatic switching to another SIM if your software offers that option.

This helps prevent the phone from falling back to your primary SIM for travel data.

Troubleshooting

  • If Add eSIM is missing, confirm that your Huawei Pura 70 Pro regional model supports eSIM, update EMUI, restart the phone, and check whether your carrier or region hides eSIM features.

  • If the QR code does not scan, raise the screen brightness on the device showing the QR code, clean the camera lens, or use the manual-entry method.

  • If the QR code says it was already used, do not delete the eSIM. Contact iRoamly support because many eSIM QR codes can be installed only once.

  • If activation fails, check Wi-Fi, verify that the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code match iRoamly exactly, and try again without extra spaces.

  • If the eSIM does not appear after setup, restart the phone and return to SIM management.

  • If mobile data does not work after arrival, select iRoamly Travel Data for Default mobile data, turn on Data roaming, and check that the destination is covered by your plan.

  • If calls or SMS do not work, review your iRoamly plan details. Many travel eSIM plans are data-only.

  • If the phone stays on your primary SIM, check the mobile-data selection again and disable any automatic data-switching option shown by your EMUI build.

Conclusion

For the Huawei Pura 70 Pro, the QR-code method is usually the quickest path because SIM management leads straight to Add eSIM, then the scanner can read the iRoamly code without typing long activation details. Manual entry is the better fallback when the QR code is on the same phone or scanning fails, as long as the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code are copied exactly.

After installation, the most useful checks are simple: confirm iRoamly Travel Data appears in SIM management, select it under Default mobile data, and turn on Data roaming when the plan or destination needs it. Once those settings are in place, the Huawei Pura 70 Pro is ready to use the iRoamly travel eSIM for mobile data abroad.
