Should I install my eSIM before travel or upon arrival?

Install your eSIM before your trip

We recommend installing your eSIMNum profile at least one day before you travel. A stable Wi-Fi connection is required for installation, so it’s best to set it up at home rather than relying on unreliable airport Wi-Fi.

Setting it up in advance ensures everything is ready and avoids any last-minute issues.

Activate your eSIM upon arrival

Once you reach your destination, you can activate your eSIMNum by turning on the line and enabling mobile data (and data roaming if needed).

Activating upon arrival ensures:

• Your data plan starts counting at the correct time
• You can connect to the local network immediately
• There’s no risk of consuming data before the trip

Quick summary

• Install before travel (with strong Wi-Fi) ✔️
• Activate when you arrive ✔️

This simple approach guarantees a smooth experience and ensures you get the full value of your eSIMNum data plan.
