Frequently Asked Questions about eSIM Compatibility

Q: eSIM vs Physical SIM for Travel: Which is better?

A: eSIM is widely considered better for travel. It is instant (delivery via email/app), safer (cannot be lost or damaged), and allows you to keep your main physical SIM card in your phone to receive 2FA bank codes and emergency calls while abroad.

Q: Why is my eSIM not working on my iPhone?

A: The two most common reasons are Carrier Lock and Region Restrictions.

1. Carrier Lock: If you bought your phone on a contract plan, it may be locked to that carrier. You must call them to request an "unlock" before travel.
2. China/Hong Kong Models: iPhones purchased in mainland China, Hong Kong, or Macao intentionally lack eSIM hardware and use dual physical SIMs instead.

Q: Do I need to install an eSIM before travel?

A: Yes, we highly recommend it. Install your eSIM while you are still at home connected to strong Wi-Fi. You can then turn it off and only switch it on (activating the data) once you land in your destination.

Q: Can I use my physical SIM and eSIM at the same time?

A: Yes! This is called "Dual SIM" standby. You can configure your phone to use the eSIM for "Cellular Data" and your physical SIM for "Default Voice Line."
