FAQs

Will my eSIM work worldwide?

eTravelSIM works across multiple networks in each covered country. However, your phone must be factory‑unlocked and eSIM‑capable. Coverage and 5G/4G availability vary by network.

Dual SIM: can I keep my home number active?

Yes—most modern devices support Dual SIM (eSIM + physical SIM). You can keep calls/SMS on your home SIM and use eTravelSIM for data while abroad. Configure default lines in Settings.

I can’t see eSIM options in Settings

Update to the latest OS, restart, and check again. If still missing, your device/region/carrier may have eSIM disabled. Please contact your carrier or device maker.
