How quickly do I get the eSIM after purchase?

You'll receive a QR code within minutes. Simply scan it on your compatible device to install the eSIM and activate data immediately.

Will this work on my phone?

Only on unlocked, eSIM-compatible devices. Phones purchased in China and Hong Kong typically lack eSIM support. Check your device's manual or carrier website, or test with a quick online search before purchasing.

Can I make phone calls or send SMS with this eSIM?

No. This plan includes data only. Use internet-based calling apps like WhatsApp, Skype, or Viber for calls and messaging.

What happens if I don't use all 50GB in 30 days?

Unused data does not carry over. The plan expires 30 days from activation. Purchase only the capacity you need.

Can I get a refund if I don't use it or if it doesn't work on my device?

No refunds are issued due to compatibility issues or itinerary changes. Verify eSIM compatibility before buying. If you experience technical problems, email the Viator supplier for support.

Does mobile hotspot sharing work?

Yes, you can use the eSIM data to create a mobile hotspot and share connectivity with other devices.
