Common Questions

Can I set it up before my trip?
Yes, and we recommend it. Install your eSIM at home over Wi-Fi before you leave. Most plans don’t start counting down until you arrive and use data. Some start on install — we show you which type it is on the plan page.
What if the QR code won't scan?
Try better lighting or hold your phone steady. Still stuck? You can type in the activation code manually — it’s in your confirmation email. Check our troubleshooting guide or message our support team.
Does my regular SIM still work?
Yes. Your physical SIM keeps working for calls and texts. The eSIM handles data. Both run at the same time — you don't have to choose.
How do I know it's working?
You’ll see the carrier name in your status bar. Open any app— if it loads, you’re connected. Having trouble? Check our troubleshooting guide
What happens when I run out of data?
Check your remaining data anytime in your dashboard. If your plan supports it, you can buy a top-up to add more data. Your eSIM stays installed — only the data runs out, not the profile.
Will it work on my phone?
Most phones made since 2018 support eSIM — iPhones (XS+), Samsung Galaxy (S20+), Google Pixel (4+), and more. Not sure? Check your device
