Using an eSIM for data on vacation? Great! You're going to love staying connected without roaming charges.

Since you'll need a solid Wi-Fi (or data) connection to complete the eSIM installation process, we recommend installing your eSIM on your device 1-2 days prior to leaving on your trip. Then you can make sure it gets installed properly, without any connection glitches.

In fact, you should turn off Wi-Fi so you can confirm your eSIM data is working properly.

Remember, as soon as your data plan is activated, your countdown to package expiration will begin. So don't activate your eSIM data plan until you've arrived at your destination and you're ready to use it.
