FAQs

Which information does the QR code contain?

Each QR code contain the profile of the subscriber’s number i.e., PIN, PUK, Phone number, and Serial number.

Should I Install my eSIM before travelling?

We advise putting your eSIM on your device 1-2 days before you depart on your vacation because you'll need a reliable Wi-Fi (or data) connection to finish the installation process. If there are any connectivity issues, you can then ensure that it is installed correctly.

Can you use your eSIM more than once?

The same eSIM cannot be installed on multiple devices, sorry.

You can only install your eSIM once, and most eSIMs can only be placed on one device. As a result, you won't be able to reinstall the eSIM if you remove it from your smartphone.
