The Oppo Find X8 supports eSIM on compatible regional models, with the global model typically running ColorOS 15 based on Android 15. On this phone, the eSIM setup path is handled from Settings through Mobile network, then the eSIM page.
For travelers, installing an iRoamly travel eSIM before departure can make arrival smoother because the data profile is already on the phone. The QR code method is usually the fastest option, while manual entry is useful when the QR code cannot be scanned or you are installing from the same screen where the QR code is displayed.
This guide covers both methods for Oppo Find X8 users, including how to confirm that the iRoamly eSIM was added and how to select it for mobile data. Menu names can vary slightly by ColorOS version, region, or carrier firmware, so check that your phone shows an eSIM option before starting.
Before You Set Up Your iRoamly eSIM
Connect the Oppo Find X8 to stable Wi-Fi before downloading the iRoamly eSIM profile.
Confirm that your Oppo Find X8 regional model supports eSIM. Some OPPO variants may support dual physical SIMs instead of eSIM.
Make sure the phone is carrier-unlocked before using a travel eSIM.
Keep your iRoamly QR code available on another screen or printed page, or keep the manual details ready: SM-DP+ Address, Activation Code, and optional Confirmation Code if iRoamly provides one.
Install the eSIM 1-2 days before travel when possible, but check your iRoamly plan details first. iRoamly plan validity starts from activation, and the exact activation trigger can vary by plan.
Do not delete the iRoamly eSIM after installation unless iRoamly support tells you to. Many eSIM profiles cannot simply be reinstalled after removal.
Check your plan details for voice calls and SMS. iRoamly travel eSIM plans may be data-only, and voice/SMS availability varies by plan.
Method 1: Install eSIM by Scanning a QR Code
Open Settings on the Oppo Find X8, then tap Mobile network. You should see the mobile network settings area where SIM and data options are managed.
Tap eSIM on the Mobile network page. The phone should open the eSIM management page.
Tap Add eSIM. The phone should prepare the eSIM setup flow.
When the scanner opens, point the Oppo Find X8 camera at the iRoamly QR code. Keep the QR code inside the scan frame until the phone recognizes the eSIM profile.
Review the profile shown on the confirmation screen, then tap Download. Keep the phone connected to Wi-Fi while ColorOS downloads the iRoamly eSIM.
Wait for the download to finish, then leave the iRoamly eSIM switched on if you want it ready for travel. If the phone asks you to choose a data line immediately, choose the iRoamly eSIM only when you are ready to use travel data.
Method 2: Install eSIM Manually
Open Settings on the Oppo Find X8, then tap Mobile network. This is the same starting point used for QR-code setup.
Tap eSIM on the Mobile network page. The eSIM management page should appear.
Tap Add eSIM. The phone should open the add-eSIM flow.
On the QR scanner screen, tap Enter details manually. Use this option when the QR code is on the same phone, cannot be scanned, or iRoamly gives you manual setup information.
Enter the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code exactly as shown in your iRoamly account or email. If iRoamly provides a Confirmation Code, enter it in the optional field; otherwise leave that field blank.
Tap Next, review the iRoamly profile, then tap Download. Keep Wi-Fi connected until the eSIM profile finishes downloading.
Wait for the phone to add the profile, then keep the iRoamly eSIM available in the eSIM page. If the phone shows a label field, name the line iRoamly Travel so it is easy to recognize later.
How to Confirm Your iRoamly eSIM Is Installed
Go to Settings > Mobile network > eSIM, then check that iRoamly Travel appears in the eSIM list. A status such as On, Ready, or an enabled toggle means the profile is installed on the phone.
Tap the iRoamly Travel eSIM profile and confirm it is enabled. If the phone offers a line label, keep a clear name such as iRoamly Travel so you do not confuse it with your primary SIM.
If your iRoamly plan includes SMS or calls, test those features only after confirming the plan supports them. For data-only plans, use a browser or map app to test mobile data instead.
Configure eSIM for Mobile Data
Open Settings > Mobile network, then turn on Mobile data. The switch should show that mobile data access is enabled.
Tap Default mobile data or the data-line selector, then choose iRoamly Travel. This tells the Oppo Find X8 to use the iRoamly eSIM for internet access instead of your primary SIM.
Open the iRoamly Travel eSIM settings and turn on Data roaming if your iRoamly plan or destination instructions require it. Travel eSIMs commonly need roaming enabled to connect to partner networks abroad.
Keep unwanted SIM switching off if ColorOS offers an automatic switching option. This helps prevent the phone from falling back to your primary SIM and creating roaming charges.
Troubleshooting
If Add eSIM or eSIM is missing, confirm that your Oppo Find X8 variant supports eSIM, update ColorOS, restart the phone, and check whether your carrier or region disables eSIM.
If the QR code will not scan, brighten the other screen, clean the camera lens, enlarge the QR code, or use Enter details manually.
If ColorOS says the QR code has already been used, do not delete the profile. Contact iRoamly support because many eSIM QR codes are single-use.
If manual setup fails, check every character in the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code. Extra spaces, copied punctuation, or a missing confirmation code can stop activation.
If the eSIM installs but mobile data does not work, select iRoamly Travel for Default mobile data, turn on Mobile data, enable Data roaming when required, and restart the phone.
If the eSIM stays pending, wait a few minutes on Wi-Fi, then move to an area with better signal. Some travel plans fully activate only when the phone connects to a supported destination network.
If calls or SMS do not work, check the iRoamly plan details. Many travel eSIM plans are data-only.
Conclusion
After installing your iRoamly eSIM, your Oppo Find X8 is equipped to provide convenient mobile data during your travels. When your plan activates, you can connect to supported networks and continue using the apps and online services you rely on every day without changing your physical SIM card.
Whether you're traveling for a weekend getaway or a longer international trip, having your travel eSIM ready in advance helps you stay connected from the moment you arrive and throughout your journey.
