Before you buy
- Check your phone first. The phone must be unlocked and eSIM-enabled. Check your model before you buy, because an eSIM cannot be installed on a phone that does not support it.
- Keep your home SIM for calls and texts. This eSIM is for data, so keep your physical SIM active for calls and bank messages, and use the eSIM for data.
- Install before you fly if you can. The eSIM arrives by email, so you can set it up on Wi-Fi at home and have data when you land.
