常见问题
How do I check whether my Android tablet is a cellular model?+
Check your exact model and storage tier directly with the manufacturer, or use the device checker tool on the site to confirm before buying a plan.
Can a tablet take phone calls once an eSIM is successfully installed?+
Generally no. Most tablets are built primarily for data use and are not designed to make calls or receive network SMS the way a phone does.
Can one plan serve both a phone and a tablet?+
Yes, via hotspot, if that plan supports sharing, but the same profile cannot be installed on two devices at once. You need to choose between sharing a hotspot and buying a separate second plan.
What are the options for an older tablet that does not support eSIM?+
Use a hotspot from a phone that already has an eSIM installed, which works just as well in practice for general use, without needing to buy an extra plan.
If a QR meant for the tablet was accidentally scanned on a phone, can that be fixed?+
Generally the profile cannot be moved back, since it has already bound to the first device it installed on. Contact the team with your order number to see what options exist.
Can a Wi-Fi-only tablet use an eSIM if I update to the latest system version?+
No. What is missing is hardware, not software. A Wi-Fi-only unit has no cellular modem and no antennas for mobile bands, and no operating system update can add those parts. If you want that tablet online while travelling, the only routes are Wi-Fi or a hotspot from another device that does have a cellular connection.
Can one plan cover both my phone and my tablet at the same time?+
One eSIM profile installs on one device; it cannot be split across two at once. You can still share the allowance by installing it on one device and running a hotspot for the other, which depends on two things: the installed device must support hotspot sharing, and the plan must not state that sharing is disallowed. Check the plan's details before building a trip around this.
Why does my tablet show a cellular menu but the profile will not install?+
Several causes are possible. The unit may be a cellular model that takes a physical SIM only, with no embedded eSIM. It may be network-locked to its original carrier. The internet connection during installation may not have been stable enough. Or that QR code may already have been used. Check the first three, and if it still fails, send us a screenshot of the error together with the model code.
Do tablets really use more data, and how big a plan should I buy?+
They do tend to use more, because a large screen leads video apps to pick higher resolutions and people watch longer on a tablet than on a phone. An exact figure is impossible, since it depends on which apps you use and each person's quality settings. The most direct approach is to enter your real habits into our data calculator and treat the range it returns as guidance, with some headroom for using more than expected.
What should I check on a second-hand tablet before buying a plan?+
Three things. First, the full model code read from the device's own settings rather than from what the seller says. Second, the manufacturer's specification page for that model code and the region it was sold in, since the same model can differ between regions. Third, its network-lock status, because a device once tied to a carrier contract may reject profiles from elsewhere. If any of the three is unclear, hold off on buying a plan.
Is a plan for a tablet different from a plan for a phone?+
The plans are the same; they are not categorised by device type. What differs is how well a given size fits your usage on that device, and the device's own technical conditions such as eSIM support and hotspot capability. Choose by destination, length of stay, and estimated volume rather than by whether it goes into a phone or a tablet.
