Does my phone support eSIM?

How do I install? Do I need Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi is required to download the eSIM profile. iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Use QR Code. Android: Settings → Connections → SIM Card Manager → Add mobile plan. Takes 2-3 minutes.
Is it instant? When does the QR code arrive?
Yes — emailed within ~30 seconds of Stripe payment. We recommend installing on home Wi-Fi before departure and enabling Data Roaming on arrival.
Can the eSIM make calls or receive SMS?
It's data-only. Use WhatsApp, LINE, Telegram, FaceTime for calls. For bank/work SMS, keep your physical SIM active in parallel.
What if I can't connect after install?

What's the refund policy?
**Unactivated** eSIMs: full refund within 7 days. **Activated** eSIMs (QR scanned and profile downloaded): non-refundable per industry standard — the carrier has consumed the provisioning. See the Refund Policy page.
Does unused data carry forward?
No. Plans expire at the end of the validity period. Pick a plan that matches your trip length; buy a new one for your next destination.
