USA eSIM Guide

Important

  • Each eSIM can be installed only once — do not delete it after installation.
  • Activate only after arrival in the USA, Canada, or Mexico. Do not activate in Australia or New Zealand.
  • Use a strong Wi-Fi connection (e.g., airport Wi-Fi) during activation.
  • If activation fails, ensure Wi-Fi is stable, remove physical simcards, disable other eSIMs, then restart. Contact us with your order number if needed.
