Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about eSIM installation
Yes! You can install the eSIM anytime before your trip. Most eSIMs only start counting data usage once you connect to a network in the destination country. This way, you'll have connectivity the moment you land.
Yes, you need a stable internet connection (Wi-Fi recommended) to download and install the eSIM. Make sure you're connected before starting the installation process.
Absolutely! Modern phones support dual-SIM functionality. You can keep your regular SIM active for calls and texts while using the eSIM for data abroad. This way you won't miss important calls and avoid expensive roaming charges.
First, make sure Data Roaming is enabled for your eSIM and it's set as the default for mobile data. If it still doesn't work, try toggling airplane mode on and off, or restart your phone. Contact your eSIM provider's support if issues persist.
For security reasons, some eSIMs can only be installed once—if you delete it, you may need to purchase a new one. This is a standard security measure. Check with your provider before removing an eSIM from your device.
