Does my phone support eSIM?

Most modern smartphones support eSIM, but devices purchased in China and Hong Kong typically do not. Check with your phone manufacturer or carrier, or verify online using your device model number before purchasing.

Can I make calls and send text messages?

No—this is a data-only plan. Use internet-based calling and messaging apps like WhatsApp, Viber, or Telegram instead. Voice and SMS are not supported.

What happens if I don't use my eSIM immediately after purchase?

You have one month from purchase to activate the eSIM. Once installed, the 30-day validity period begins. No refunds are available if you activate late or don't use it.

Which countries are covered, and is data reliable?

The eSIM covers 20 Asian countries and connects to major local mobile networks at 4G LTE or 5G speeds, depending on your location and network availability.

Can I share the connection with other devices?

Yes—mobile hotspot is supported, so you can share your data connection with travel companions' phones, tablets, or laptops.
