常见问题
How do I explain it to an older relative without alarming them?+
Start with what does not change: the apps are all where they were and their number is still theirs. Then say a second line has been added for internet while abroad, and rehearse once on their own handset. Doing it once helps far more than a long explanation, and have them screenshot the menu path to look at again later.
How should I explain roaming without frightening them about cost?+
Make clear that the data roaming switch they turn on belongs to the new line whose plan is already paid for, not to their home number. If they remain worried, check with their original carrier how that number is configured, because its terms belong to that carrier rather than to the data plan.
They ask why installing must happen before departure. What is the clearest answer?+
Because installation needs internet in order to fetch the line into the phone. Leave it until landing and you need a connection in order to get a connection, which is the loop that strands people. Installing at home on Wi-Fi removes the problem entirely.
What should I leave them in case they forget the steps mid-trip?+
A short offline note on the phone: the order reference, screenshots of the menu path on their own handset, one recovery move, and the support channels. Do not write ten steps; under stress people read only a few lines.
I helped remotely and it still is not working. What now?+
Have them stop changing settings, then screenshot the network settings screen and the screen listing the lines on the phone. Contact us on LINE at https://lin.ee/skDPoNx (@esimonline) or by email at esimonline.asia@gmail.com with the order reference, handset model, OS version and the country they are in. That set removes several rounds of questions.
How do I explain the size of the allowance to them?+
Describe it as a tank they have already bought, then name what drains it fastest: video, autoplay in feeds and cloud photo backup. Have them switch the last two off before travelling. The right size depends on their own habits and the number of days, and the data calculator gives a clearer picture than guessing.
常见问题
Should I just install it for them?+
If you are together it is often quicker, but let them watch, so they can handle small problems on their own while away.
What is the last thing to tell them before they go?+
That on landing they should set the travel plan as the data line and leave the home SIM's roaming data off.
