Understanding when your plan begins is key to maximizing your allowance. Because we work with various global networks, activation triggers can vary depending on the specific provider.
Common Activation Triggers
In most cases, your package validity will begin in one of two ways:
Upon Installation: The timer starts the moment you scan the QR code and download the eSIM to your device.
Upon Connection: The plan activates only when your device first connects to a supported network at your destination.
Where to Find Your Specific Rules
We believe in full transparency. Because every operator has different protocols, any special activation rules or exceptions are always clearly listed in the Product Description of your specific package. We recommend checking this before you purchase or install.
Our Recommendation for Travelers
To ensure you get every hour of connectivity you paid for, we suggest the following:
Install shortly before you travel: Download and install the eSIM 1-2 days before you leave for your trip.
Keep it Off: Once installed, keep the eSIM switched off in your device’s cellular settings.
Activate on Arrival: Switch the eSIM to "On" only once you reach your destination. Dont forget to turn on "Data Roaming"!
This simple step ensures your package starts exactly when you need it and not a moment sooner.
