How long does the eSIM take to activate?

You'll receive the QR code within minutes of purchase. Scan it to install—activation is near-instantaneous on compatible devices.

Can I use this eSIM for phone calls or text messages?

No, this is a data-only plan. Use internet-based apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.) for calls and messaging.

What happens if my device isn't eSIM-compatible?

The plan is non-refundable if compatibility issues arise. Check your device's eSIM support beforehand—most Chinese and Hong Kong phones don't support eSIM technology.

Can I share the data with other devices?

Yes, mobile hotspot is supported. Enable it to share your connection with phones, tablets, or laptops.

When does my 30-day plan start?

The validity period begins only after you install and activate the eSIM, not from purchase date. You have one month from purchase to activate it.

Is there coverage throughout all of Berlin?

The eSIM connects to major local networks at 4G LTE or 5G speeds depending on your location and network availability in Berlin.
