Adding your plan on a foldable: Galaxy Fold, Flip, and Pixel Fold

The settings are the same as on any Samsung or Android phone; only the screen shape changes how you get there. Unfold the device fully before you start, because folded, cover-screen, and split-screen views can hide menu items, then follow your platform guide.

Steps

  1. Unfold or extend the device fully, and close any multi-window view down to one full screen.
  2. Open the KnowRoaming app, go to My plans, select your device, and tap Add a plan.
  3. From Settings instead: Galaxy, Settings > Connections > SIM manager > Add eSIM; Pixel Fold, Settings > Network & internet > SIMs > Add eSIM.
  4. Scan the QR code from your order page or email, or enter the details by hand.
  5. When you land, turn the KnowRoaming line on, turn on data roaming, and select it for data.

The auto setup in step 2 works the same on a foldable, with nothing to scan. The landing taps are in Turn on data roaming for your plan on Samsung or Turn on data roaming for your plan on Android.

Good to know

  • Galaxy Z Fold5 and later and Z Flip5 and later support eSIM. Not sure about yours? Dial *#06#; an EID number means you're set. See Which devices support eSIM?.
  • Everything else, including the APN table and what to do if the add fails, is in Add your plan on Samsung or Add your plan on Android.
  • It's fine to add your plan days before you fly, as long as you have a stable connection to do it. Leave data roaming off until you land. Nothing on your plan starts until you connect abroad, so there's no downside to adding early and switching on later.

Still not working?

If the add stops or fails, see Adding your plan is stuck: what to do. Still not working? Message us on WhatsApp at +1-888-357-7347 and include four things: your ICCID, your order number, your phone model and OS version, and what you've already tried.
