Child mode
eSIM for kids: their data, your say.
When travelling, your child has their own eSIM. In the Sirocco app, they see their data and can ask for more, with no prices shown. You decide.
What your child sees
- Their remaining data, with a gauge, and the end date.
- The country and the day of the trip.
- An “Ask for data” button: they choose an amount, with no price.
- Badges, one for each country where their eSIM connects.
- No prices, no purchases, no means of payment.
What you decide
- You are notified of each request in the Sirocco app.
- You accept and pay for the top-up, choose another amount, or decline, with a message if you wish.
- Without a reply, the request expires after 24 hours. Nothing is charged.
- The top-up is added to their eSIM, with no reinstallation. Your child never sees the price.
What Child mode does not do
- It is not parental control: it does not filter or block any website or app.
- It does not show what your child looks at, and Sirocco collects no data about that content.
- It does not locate your child: no location is tracked or shown.
- It does not create any account in the child's name. Purchases are for adults only.
Setting up Child mode
- When ordering, choose the Child profile for the traveller concerned. The destination's smallest plan is suggested by default.
- After payment, send them their personal link: by text message, by email or shared by you.
- On their phone, open the link with the Sirocco app (free): the eSIM installs and the app switches to Child mode.
Without the app, the eSIM can also be installed from the web guide, with an adult's help. The Child screen and data requests are in the app.
Your child's phone
Dial *#06# on their phone: if an EID number appears, it accepts eSIMs. It must not be locked to a network.
Frequently asked questions
From what age?
Sirocco does not set an age: you decide whether your child has their own phone when travelling. Purchases, however, are for adults only.
Does a Child eSIM cost the same?
Yes: for the same plan, the price is the same as for an adult. The smallest amount is suggested by default, and the child's screen shows no prices.
Can my child buy data on their own?
No. They can only ask. You accept and pay, or you decline.
What happens if I do not reply?
The request expires after 24 hours, at no cost. Your child can send a new one.
Can I see what my child does online?
No. Child mode controls data purchases, not content: Sirocco does not show the websites or apps used.
