How quickly can I activate the eSIM?

You'll receive a QR code within minutes of purchase. Simply scan it on an eSIM-compatible device to install and activate; it begins counting down from that moment.

Can I make phone calls or send texts with this plan?

No. This plan includes mobile data only. Use internet-based services like WhatsApp, Viber, or FaceTime for calls and messaging.

Will my phone work with this eSIM?

Only if your device supports eSIM, is not carrier-locked, and is not a model primarily sold in mainland China or Hong Kong. Check your phone's settings or manufacturer specs before purchasing.

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

Unused data expires after 30 days from activation. Plan your usage or trip duration accordingly—there are no refunds for unused allowance.

Can I share the data with other devices?

Yes. The eSIM supports mobile hotspot, so you can share internet with tablets, laptops, or companions' phones.

Is there coverage throughout Switzerland, or only in Zürich?

The plan connects to major local 4G LTE and 5G networks across Switzerland, but coverage is best in cities and populated areas. Remote Alpine regions may have limited or slower speeds.
