Common questions about eSIM installation and usage
Yes! We recommend installing your eSIM before you travel while you have a stable Wi-Fi connection. The data plan timer starts only when you connect to a network in your destination country, not when you install it.
Quick Install is the easiest - just tap the link in your email and it sets everything up automatically. QR code scanning is great if you're viewing the email on a different device. Manual entry is a fallback where you type in the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code yourself.
Data Roaming must be enabled for your eSIM to connect to partner networks abroad. Don't worry - you won't incur extra charges since your data usage is covered by your purchased plan.
Yes! Most modern devices support Dual SIM functionality. Keep your regular SIM for calls and texts from your home number, and use the eSIM for affordable mobile data while traveling.
First, ensure Data Roaming is enabled. Then try toggling Airplane Mode on and off. If that doesn't work, restart your device. Make sure you're in a coverage area. You can also try manually selecting a network operator in your cellular settings.
eSIM profiles are typically single-use. Once deleted from your device, they cannot be reinstalled. We recommend keeping the eSIM on your device even after your plan expires, as some plans support top-ups.
Use the 'Check Usage' link in your order confirmation email. It opens a real-time dashboard showing your data consumption and remaining balance, tied to your eSIM's unique transaction number.
In most cases, APN settings are automatically configured when you install your eSIM. If you experience connectivity issues, check your confirmation email for the APN value and enter it manually in your device's cellular/APN settings.
