全家出游：到底要买几张 eSIM 才够用
不是每个人都得买一张，但只靠一台手机开热点，也有账单上看不到的代价。
快速解答
- At least two plans for two adults, so the whole family does not go offline together if you get separated.
- Young children who stay with an adult can ride on a hotspot.
- Teenagers who split off should carry their own.

常见问题
How many plans should a family of four buy?+
There is no fixed number. Count the people who might end up alone. A family of four that moves as one group is often fine with two plans for the adults, while a family with two teenagers who like their own time usually lands on three or four. Walk the itinerary and count the people who could be separated.
Can one plan be shared with the whole family over a hotspot?+
It depends on the plan and the destination: some permit it, some restrict it, so read the terms of the plan you are buying. Even where it is allowed, remember that everyone goes offline together when the host phone runs flat or walks away.
What if a child's phone does not support eSIM?+
Use a parent's hotspot and preload video, music or games over Wi-Fi before you travel. A child who stays with an adult is barely affected by not having their own plan. If you want certainty about a specific model, run it through the device checker first.
Should we buy the same size for everyone to keep it simple?+
Usually not. The navigator and the person who only messages use very different amounts, and identical sizes tend to end with one plan exhausted and another mostly unused. Size each one to how that person actually travels.
Can we install on every device at home, or does that start the clock?+
Installing a profile and starting the validity are different events, but how a plan starts counting varies by plan, and some begin at first connection to a network at the destination. Check the terms of the plan you bought before switching it on. Installing itself is always better done at home, where there is Wi-Fi and time to fix problems.
What do we do if one person runs out mid-trip?+
The fastest fix is usually to put them on another family member's hotspot for the moment, then decide between topping up and buying a small second plan. Whether a top-up is available depends on the plan, so if you are unsure, message us with the order number.
常见问题
Can we buy one big plan and share it with everyone?+
Yes, over a hotspot if the plan allows it, but everyone drops offline together when the host runs flat or walks away.
What if a child's phone is too old for eSIM?+
Use a hotspot from a parent's phone, or download content before leaving the accommodation.
