This includes apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, FaceTime, Skype, Zoom, and many others.
What you can do with a data-only eSIM:
- Send and receive messages.
- Make voice and video calls.
- Share photos, videos, and files.
- Use social media and work apps.
👉 Your existing accounts and phone numbers in these apps remain unchanged. You do not need to create a new account or update your contacts.
Important: Messaging and calling apps use your internet connection, not traditional mobile networks. This means you can stay connected even with a data-only plan.
⚠️ For the best experience, we recommend choosing a plan with enough data or an Unlimited package if you plan to make frequent calls or video meetings.
This depends on the type of plan you choose. Not all travel eSIM packages support receiving SMS verification codes.
Here is how it works:
- Data-only plans: These do not support traditional SMS, so you will not receive verification codes directly on your travel eSIM.
- Data + SMS plans: These allow you to receive and send text messages, including verification codes.
- Data + SMS + Voice plans: These provide full mobile functionality, including calls and SMS.
👉 Most travelers keep their primary SIM card active in their phone to continue receiving important SMS and verification codes while using the eSIM for mobile data.
This is one of the biggest advantages of Dual SIM devices, as it allows you to stay connected and secure during your trip.
Important: To avoid unexpected roaming charges, make sure data roaming is turned off for your primary SIM and that your eSIM is selected as the main data source.
⚠️ We recommend checking the plan details before purchasing if receiving SMS verification codes is important for you.
If you use all the data included in your plan, your mobile internet connection will stop or your speed may be reduced, depending on the type of package you selected.
Here is what usually happens:
- Time-Based or fixed data plans: Once your data allowance is used, your connection will stop until you purchase additional data or a new plan.
- Unlimited Plans: Your internet connection will continue, but your speed may be reduced after reaching the daily high-speed Fair Usage Policy (FUP) limit.
👉 In most cases, you can top up your data or purchase another plan to restore full-speed connectivity.
How to stay connected:
- Log in to your account and add more data.
- Purchase a new package for your destination.
- Upgrade to a higher data or Unlimited Plan if you expect heavy usage.
⚠️ Tip: We recommend monitoring your usage and topping up your plan before your data runs out to avoid interruptions, especially during important travel or work activities.
Once your plan reaches the end of its validity period, your mobile data connection will stop, even if you still have unused data remaining.
Each travel eSIM plan is active for a specific number of days, depending on the package you selected. The validity period begins when your plan becomes active and connects to a supported local network.
Important information about plan expiration:
- Your plan will automatically expire at the end of the validity period.
- Any remaining unused data will no longer be available.
- Your eSIM profile will remain on your device and can be used again if you purchase a new plan.

Yes, in most cases you can top up your plan or purchase additional data once your current package is running low or has expired.
The availability of top-ups depends on the specific plan and destination. Some providers allow direct top-ups, while others may require purchasing a new plan.
How the process usually works:
- You can log in to your account and add more data before your plan expires.
- For Unlimited or Time-Based Plans, you can extend your connectivity by purchasing another package.
- Your new plan will activate automatically once your current one ends or when you arrive in a supported destination.
👉 This allows you to stay connected without reinstalling your eSIM or changing your settings.
Important: We recommend topping up your plan before your data runs out to avoid interruptions.
⚠️ Please note that top-up options, pricing, and availability may vary depending on the country and mobile operator.
In many cases, yes. Once your eSIM is installed on your device, you can continue using it for future trips by purchasing new plans, depending on the provider and destination.
This means you usually do not need to reinstall a new eSIM every time you travel. Instead, you can simply buy another data package and activate it when needed.
How it works:
- Your eSIM profile remains stored on your device even after your plan expires.
- You can add new plans or top up your account for the same eSIM.
- Your new plan will activate automatically when you arrive in a supported destination.
👉 This makes travel easier and faster, especially for frequent travelers, business users, and digital nomads.
Important: Some plans or operators may require a new eSIM installation. Always check the plan details or your account dashboard for specific instructions.
⚠️ We recommend keeping your eSIM installed on your device for future use unless you are instructed to remove it.
If you delete your eSIM profile from your device, it will be permanently removed and your mobile data connection will stop immediately.
In most cases, a deleted eSIM cannot be restored automatically because the installation profile is unique and linked to your device.
Important things to know:
- You may lose access to any remaining data in your active plan.
- Reinstallation may require contacting customer support.
- Some providers may charge a fee or issue a new eSIM profile.
- Availability of reinstallation depends on the specific plan and operator.
👉 To avoid disruptions, we strongly recommend keeping your eSIM installed on your device until your trip is completed.
Tip: If you need to temporarily disable your eSIM, you can simply turn it off in your device settings instead of deleting it.
⚠️ If you accidentally delete your eSIM, please contact our support team as soon as possible. We will do our best to assist you.
In some cases, yes. However, the ability to reinstall the same eSIM depends on the provider, plan type, and whether the eSIM profile is still available in your account.
If your eSIM has not been deleted from your account dashboard, you may be able to reinstall it on the same device or, in certain cases, on a new device.
Important information:
- Many travel eSIM profiles are designed for one-time installation.
- If the eSIM was deleted from your phone, reinstallation may require a new QR code.
- Some providers allow limited reinstallations, while others do not.
- Active plans and remaining data may be affected.
👉 To avoid problems, we recommend not deleting your eSIM unless absolutely necessary.
Tip: If you need to change your device or reinstall your eSIM, contact our support team before making any changes. We will guide you through the best solution.
⚠️ Reinstallation policies and availability may vary depending on the destination and mobile operator.
In most cases, travel eSIMs cannot be transferred to another device once they have been installed. The eSIM profile is usually linked to the original device for security and network compatibility reasons.
Here is what you need to know:
- Most eSIMs are designed for one device only.
- Once installed, the eSIM cannot be moved to a different phone.
- If you change your device, you may need to request a new eSIM or purchase a new plan.
👉 This policy helps protect your account and ensures a stable and secure connection.
Good news: Some providers offer limited transfer or reinstallation options. If you need to switch devices, we recommend contacting our support team before making any changes.
⚠️ Always make sure your device is compatible and unlocked before installing your eSIM to avoid issues later.
No, a travel eSIM can only be installed and used on one device at a time. Once the eSIM profile is activated on your smartphone or tablet, it is linked to that specific device.
This means you cannot use the same eSIM simultaneously on multiple phones or devices.
Important information:
- Each eSIM profile is unique and designed for a single device.
- Sharing the same eSIM between multiple devices is not supported.
- If you need connectivity on several devices, you will need separate eSIM plans.
👉 However, you can still share your mobile data by using the hotspot or tethering feature on your device, depending on your plan and network conditions.
This allows you to connect laptops, tablets, or other devices without installing additional eSIMs.
⚠️ Please note that hotspot availability and performance may vary depending on your destination, plan, and local operator.
If your eSIM is not working, do not worry. In most cases, the issue can be resolved quickly by checking a few simple settings.
Follow these steps before contacting support:
- Make sure your device supports eSIM and is unlocked.
- Confirm that your plan is valid for your current location.
- Check that your eSIM is installed and selected as the primary mobile data source.
- Enable data roaming for your eSIM.
- Turn off data roaming for your primary (physical) SIM to avoid conflicts.
- Disable Wi-Fi and try using mobile data only.
- Restart your device.
- Turn airplane mode on and off.
- Try manually selecting another supported local network in your phone settings.
👉 In many cases, your connection will start automatically once your device connects to a supported local operator.
