When should I buy the eSIM?

Modified on Tue, 8 Jul at 6:15 PM

✅ Short Answer:


You can buy your eSIM anytime—it stays valid for 180 days after purchase. However, when to activate it depends on your plan’s specific start conditions:


✨ Before Your Trip


If your plan starts when you connect to a local network, we recommend:


- Purchasing and activating the eSIM in advance

- This ensures a smooth setup before arrival


⏳ Be Cautious with Activation Timing


Some plans begin immediately upon activation, not upon arrival. To avoid wasting data days:


- Check your plan’s “Product Details” section in the product page or email

- Avoid activating too early if the plan starts right after scanning the QR code
