Questions
Questions about how it works
When the eSIM first connects in the country of your plan, not when you buy it. Each plan shows how long you have to start it.
No. The eSIM sits beside your own SIM. Set the eSIM for mobile data and keep your SIM for calls.
The data stops and nothing is charged. Add data to the same eSIM from My eSIMs, or buy a new plan.
No. Each plan covers one country. For a trip through several countries, buy a plan for each one; they all stay in My eSIMs.
Usually not. An installed eSIM stays on the phone it was installed on. Install it on the phone you'll travel with.
