eSIM for exchange students
The first week is the heaviest: housing, registration and calls home.

Quick answer
- Cover your first two to four weeks with an eSIM, then decide on a local SIM.
- Keep your home number active for bank and university OTPs.
Do not drop your home number straight away
Your bank, government apps and existing accounts are tied to your home number. Cutting it before you move those verifications can lock you out while abroad.
