Questions travellers often ask

Does eSIM work with my phone model?

Most current smartphones support eSIM, but it is worth a quick check of your settings menu before departure to confirm.

Can I install it before my flight?

Yes, the profile can be installed at home and simply activated after landing, so you are online right away with no setup delay.

Is it cheaper than my carrier’s roaming add-on?

Usually yes, since eSIM plans built for travellers tend to avoid the flat daily charges that home network roaming add-ons carry.
