The Vivo V29 supports eSIM on supported regional variants, with vivo listing NFC-eSE and eSIM support for Europe and Latin America models. This guide assumes a Vivo V29 running Funtouch OS 13 Global with the Network & internet and SIM card & mobile network settings path.
An iRoamly travel eSIM can help you prepare mobile data before a trip without changing your physical SIM. Because the Vivo V29 is sold in different regions, check that your exact model shows Add eSIM before you purchase or install a plan.
This guide covers both iRoamly QR code installation and manual entry. Manual entry is useful when the QR code is on the same phone, the camera cannot scan it clearly, or you need to copy the SM-DP+ Address and Activation code from your iRoamly account.
Before You Set Up Your iRoamly eSIM
Connect the Vivo V29 to stable Wi-Fi before downloading the eSIM profile.
Confirm your Vivo V29 is unlocked and eSIM-capable. On this model, eSIM availability can vary by region and carrier firmware.
Keep your iRoamly QR code, SM-DP+ Address, Activation code, and optional confirmation code ready.
Install the iRoamly eSIM 1-2 days before travel if possible, then activate mobile data when you arrive or when you are about to use the plan.
iRoamly eSIM validity starts from activation. The trigger can depend on the plan, so check the plan details before turning on the eSIM for travel data.
iRoamly eSIM plans may be data-only. Voice calls and SMS availability varies by plan, so do not assume calls or SMS are included.
Do not delete the installed eSIM unless iRoamly support tells you to. Many travel eSIM profiles cannot be reinstalled after removal.
Method 1: Install eSIM by Scanning a QR Code
Open Settings on your Vivo V29, then tap Network & internet.
Tap SIM card & mobile network. You should see SIM and mobile network options for the phone.
In SIM card & mobile network, tap Add eSIM. If Add eSIM does not appear, your Vivo V29 variant, carrier firmware, or region may not support eSIM.
Tap Scan QR code on the Add eSIM screen. The Vivo V29 should open the eSIM QR scanner.
Point the camera at the iRoamly QR code until the phone recognizes it, then follow the on-screen prompt. If scanning fails, tap Enter details manually and use Method 2.
Review the eSIM profile prompt, then tap Add to download the iRoamly eSIM profile. Keep the phone connected to Wi-Fi until the download finishes.
Return to Settings > Network & internet > SIM card & mobile network and check that iRoamly Travel eSIM appears in the eSIM list.
Method 2: Install eSIM Manually
Open Settings on your Vivo V29, then tap Network & internet.
Tap SIM card & mobile network to open the SIM settings page.
Tap Add eSIM in the eSIM section.
Tap Enter details manually instead of scanning the QR code.
Enter the SM-DP+ Address and Activation code exactly as iRoamly provides them. If iRoamly gives a Confirmation code, enter it in the optional field; otherwise leave that field blank.
Tap Next, review the eSIM profile, then tap Add to download the iRoamly eSIM. Stay on Wi-Fi until the phone finishes adding the profile.
Go back to Settings > Network & internet > SIM card & mobile network and confirm that iRoamly Travel eSIM is listed as installed.
How to Confirm Your iRoamly eSIM Is Installed
Open Settings > Network & internet > SIM card & mobile network, then look for iRoamly Travel eSIM in the eSIM area. The profile should show as installed or available.
Tap the iRoamly eSIM row and check that the line is turned on. If you are already in the covered destination, the phone may show signal after the eSIM connects to a supported local network.
Turn off Wi-Fi briefly after arrival and open a website or map app to test mobile data. Test calls or SMS only if your iRoamly plan details say those services are included.
Configure eSIM for Mobile Data
Open Settings > Network & internet > SIM card & mobile network, then tap Preferred SIM for mobile data.
Select iRoamly Travel eSIM as the preferred SIM for mobile data.
Turn on Data roaming if your iRoamly plan or destination instructions require roaming for data access.
Keep your primary SIM selected for calls and SMS unless your iRoamly plan includes those services. This helps avoid unwanted changes to your regular number while using iRoamly for travel data.
Troubleshooting
Add eSIM is missing: Confirm your Vivo V29 is a supported regional model. Vivo notes eSIM support for the V29 in Europe and Latin America, while other regions may not show the eSIM menu.
QR code will not scan: Increase screen brightness on the device showing the QR code, clean the camera lens, or use Enter details manually.
QR code says it was already used: Do not delete the profile. Contact iRoamly support because many eSIM QR codes can be installed only once.
Activation is pending: Stay connected to Wi-Fi during installation, then wait until you are in the destination covered by the plan before expecting the eSIM to connect.
No data after installation: Select iRoamly Travel eSIM for mobile data, enable Data roaming if required, turn off Wi-Fi, and test again.
eSIM appears but no signal: Restart the Vivo V29, check that the iRoamly line is turned on, and confirm the destination is included in your plan.
Manual entry fails: Check for extra spaces in the SM-DP+ Address or Activation code, then re-enter the details exactly as shown by iRoamly.
Menu names look different: Funtouch OS labels can vary slightly by software version or carrier firmware. Use the closest matching Network & internet, SIM card & mobile network, and Add eSIM labels.
Conclusion
Your iRoamly eSIM is now installed on your Vivo V29 and ready to use when your travel plan becomes active. Once you're in a supported destination, you can enjoy mobile data for navigation, messaging, travel bookings, translation, and other everyday online services without any additional installation steps.
Preparing your connectivity before departure helps make your arrival smoother, so you can spend less time configuring your phone and more time enjoying your trip. With your Vivo V29 and iRoamly travel eSIM ready to go, staying connected abroad becomes simple and convenient.
