Wie installiere ich Orbislo auf Android?
- Öffne die Orbislo App und tippe auf Installieren
- Bestätige die Abfrage zum eSIM Download
- Einstellungen, Netzwerk & Internet, SIMs, wähle Orbislo
- Schalte Roaming ein und setze Orbislo als SIM für mobile Daten
Ein paar Hersteller verstecken das eSIM Menü an einer unerwarteten Stelle. Wenn du es nicht findest, frag Ori und nenne dein genaues Modell. Wir pflegen eine Karte pro Gerät, aufgebaut aus echten Installationen statt aus Datenblättern.
Why Android instructions never quite match your phone
Because there is no Android. There is Samsung's One UI, Google's build, Xiaomi's HyperOS, OnePlus, Motorola and Huawei, and each one puts the eSIM entry somewhere different and moves it between versions. A generic walkthrough is wrong for most readers on the day they read it, so ours is per model and built from installs that happened rather than from documentation.
The fastest way to find the menu on any Android
Open Settings and use the search box at the top. Type eSIM. On every build we have notes for, that lands you on the right screen in one step, which is faster than any menu path we could publish and immune to the manufacturer moving it next quarter.
- Samsung: Settings, Connections, SIM manager, Add eSIM
- Google Pixel: Settings, Network and internet, SIMs, Download a SIM instead
- Xiaomi, OnePlus and Motorola: search Settings for eSIM
- Huawei: often absent. Most models sold after 2020 removed eSIM entirely
When the download prompt does not appear
Same four causes as iPhone, with one Android specific addition: a few operator branded units shipped with eSIM disabled in firmware even though the model supports it. Google's Pixel 4 is the known case.
- A carrier lock, which blocks every profile and not only ours
- An operator firmware build with eSIM switched off
- No free profile slot. Delete an unused one and retry
- A dropped download. Retry on a stable connection, at no cost, since the failed attempt is already refunded
Where each brand hides the eSIM menu
| Brand | Path | Known catch |
|---|---|---|
| Samsung | Settings, Connections, SIM manager | The add entry is at the bottom of the SIM list, below the physical SIM |
| Settings, Network and internet, SIMs | Some carrier branded Pixel 4 units shipped with eSIM disabled | |
| Xiaomi | Settings, then search for eSIM | Moved between HyperOS versions. Search rather than navigate |
| OnePlus and Motorola | Settings, then search for eSIM | Wording differs by region on the same build |
| Huawei | Settings, Mobile network, SIM management | Most models sold after 2020 have no eSIM at all |
If your build does not match a row, search the settings app. That works on every build we have notes for.
What we do automatically and what needs you
We read the model and Android version and tell you before you pay whether the install will work on that build. We refund a failed provisioning attempt inside 60 seconds. You have to do two things afterwards: turn on Roaming for the Orbislo line, and set Orbislo as the SIM for mobile data. Android buries the second one under SIM manager or Mobile network depending on the build.
The numbers, and where they came from
Install notes cover 67 models across 7 brands: Apple, Google, Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Motorola and Huawei. They come from real installs, because a spec sheet has never told us where a manufacturer moved the menu. Most Android installs finish in under a minute on a stable connection.
Three things to check before you tap install
Android installs fail for environmental reasons far more often than for software ones, and all three are checkable in a minute.
- Battery above twenty percent. Some builds cancel a profile download in battery saver mode without saying why.
- A stable connection you are not about to walk away from. The download cannot resume.
- At least one free eSIM slot, checked in SIM manager rather than assumed. Old trips leave profiles behind.
