FAQ

Common Questions

How fast is activation?+
~60 seconds. Buy โ†’ scan QR code in your phone settings โ†’ land โ†’ enable Data Roaming on the eSIM line. The plan starts when the phone first connects to the local network, not at purchase.
Can I keep my regular SIM active?+
Yes - your physical SIM stays in for calls/iMessage on your home number, while the eSIM handles data. Most travelers leave their home SIM data OFF to avoid roaming charges.
Calls and texts?+
Most travel eSIMs are data-only. Use WhatsApp, iMessage, FaceTime, or buy a plan with a local number. Yesim sells voice add-ons for the EU.
What if I run out of data?+
Top up in the app. Airalo and Yesim let you add data without changing your plan or eSIM.
