常见问题
Can I install weeks in advance?+
Yes, if the plan starts on first connection — though some QR codes have an installation deadline, which the email states.
Can I move the profile to another phone?+
Usually not; the profile is bound to the device it installed on. If you must change handsets, contact us before deleting anything.
Does it work on an iPad or tablet?+
Yes, if the device supports eSIM and is not carrier-locked. Check your model in our device checker.
Do I really need to enable roaming?+
Yes, but only on the eSIM line: travel plans work by roaming onto local networks. Keep roaming data off on your home line.
What if the data runs out before I fly home?+
Top up if the plan allows it, otherwise buy another. In the meantime Wi-Fi and your home line for calls still work.
