Quick answer

Go to Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM (or Download a SIM instead), then scan the Movia QR code. Exact menu names vary by brand, but the flow is the same on Samsung, Google Pixel, and most Android phones.

On Android the eSIM install flow is nearly identical to iPhone, but the menu wording changes between brands. Here's the general path that works on Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, and most modern Android phones.

Step-by-step

Connect to Wi-Fi and open your Movia confirmation email on another screen.
Open Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs.
Tap Add eSIM / Download a SIM instead / Add mobile plan.
Choose Scan QR code and scan the code from your email.
Confirm download and enable the eSIM.

Samsung Galaxy: Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM. Google Pixel: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Download a SIM instead.
