Before you start: Cape activation currently must be completed in the owner profile. However, after activation is complete you can make use of Cape services in other profiles (i.e Calls, Text, Data usage).
⚠️ Important Profile Requirements:
- You must perform these steps from your Owner Profile.
- Secondary users may cause issues. Due to standard android behaviour, if an IMSI rotation occurs while you are using a secondary user, you may lose service until you switch back to the Owner Profile. Read this article for more information on secondary users, and how to improve stability while using them.
Step 1: Enable eSIM support
Go to Settings → Network & Internet → eSIM support.
Toggle on eSIM support. To turn it on, Graphene will require you to restart your device.
Step 2: Download the Cape app
Option A: From the Play Store
Go to App Store → Search for Google Play Services → Tap Install.
After installing the Play Store, search for "Cape Mobile" or click the button below to download the Cape app.
Option B: From Accrescent
- App Store → Accrescent → Tap Install
- Find the Cape app in Accrescent and install it.
*Note: Without Play Services you will not be able to receive Cape’s push notifications or use Network Lock. We are working to add support for UnifiedPush to provide an alternative.*
If needed, you can download and install Accrescent directly from Accrescent's Website. Scroll down and tap the "Download Accrescent" button.
Step 3: Activate Cape
After downloading the Cape app from either the Play Store or Accrescent, you can proceed through the onboarding flow and begin the Cape activation process.
Additional Help
If you still need help activating your device, please reach out to Cape Support via the Help Center or directly through the Cape app's support tab.
