Your physical SIM stays put the whole trip — the eSIM runs as a second data line. So you can still get calls and texts on your home number while using the eSIM for data abroad.

From scanning the QR code, activation usually takes under 2 minutes. In some countries it can stretch to 10. Once it's active, the plan shows up in your network settings.

You can download the eSIM profile any time before you fly. We suggest switching data on only after you land — that way your validity countdown starts when you're actually using it.

Yes. You have 30 days to request a full refund if the QR code hasn't been scanned and the eSIM hasn't been installed or activated. Installed or activated eSIMs are non-refundable, even if no data was used.
Install the eSIM profile at home over Wi-Fi before you fly — just scan the QR code. Once it's on your phone, it picks up local networks automatically, so you don't need internet at the destination.
