Frequently Asked Questions

What is eSIM and how does it differ from a physical SIM?

An eSIM is a digital SIM embedded in your device. Carrier profiles are downloaded over the air rather than inserted physically. For travellers, this eliminates the need for airport SIM kiosks entirely.

Must my device be carrier-unlocked?

Yes. Your device must be carrier-unlocked to use a third-party eSIM plan. Contact your carrier to request an unlock — most do so free of charge after the contract period.

May I retain my home number while using a travel eSIM?

Yes — through Dual SIM functionality. Your home SIM handles calls and texts; your travel eSIM handles data. Configure in cellular settings.

When is the optimal moment to install an eSIM?

At home, on WiFi, before departure. This ensures immediate connectivity upon landing and eliminates any need for airport troubleshooting.

Does one eSIM cover all of Europe?

Many regional plans cover 30–50 countries. Always verify the specific country list, particularly for Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and the UK.

What if my eSIM is accidentally deleted?

The original QR code becomes invalid. Contact your provider immediately — most can reissue a new QR code. Always save a screenshot of the QR code before scanning.
