When should I install my eSIM?

We recommend installing your eSIM before you travel, while you have a reliable Wi-Fi connection.

This means everything is ready before your trip and you won't have to rely on airport or hotel Wi-Fi to complete the installation.

Do I need internet to install my eSIM?

Yes.

You'll need a stable Wi-Fi or mobile data connection while installing your TRUE eSIM.

Once it's installed, you generally won't need Wi-Fi simply to switch the eSIM on when you arrive at your destination.

Does installing my eSIM start my plan?

Installation and activation are different.

Installing adds the eSIM to your phone.

Activation is when your eSIM begins connecting to the supported network according to your plan's activation policy.

Your plan will activate only when connected overseas. To activate it turn on Data Roaming when you arrive at your destination

Can I scan the QR code from the same phone?

Some devices allow you to select a saved QR code directly from your photo library, while others may require the QR code to be displayed on another device.

Follow the installation instructions provided for your device.
