How quickly do I receive the eSIM after purchase?

The QR code is delivered within minutes. You can then scan it immediately to install on your device, though activation begins only when you're ready.

Can I use this for calls and text messages?

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

What if my phone doesn't support eSIM?

Check your device's compatibility online or contact your provider before purchasing. Most phones from China and Hong Kong lack eSIM support. The plan is non-refundable if compatibility issues arise.

Will the eSIM work with my carrier-locked phone?

No. Your device must be unlocked and eSIM-compatible. If unsure, verify with your current network provider before travel.

Can I share the data with other devices?

Yes—mobile hotspot is supported, allowing you to share your connection with travel companions' phones or tablets.

What happens if my plans change and I don't use all 30 days?

Plans are non-refundable regardless of usage or itinerary changes. Ensure travel dates are confirmed before purchasing.
