When does my eSIM plan start?

In short

The eSIM activates the first time it connects to a network at your destination; the plan runs from that moment. You can install it before you leave.

Installing before you leave

  • Install the eSIM over Wi-Fi, at home, a few days before.
  • Leave the Sirocco line off until you leave if you prefer.
  • Each plan's details state its start rule before payment.

On arrival

  1. Turn on the Sirocco line and choose it for mobile data.
  2. Turn on data roaming on that line only.
