Set your data line and activate as instructed
In a covered region, select the eSIM for mobile data and enable roaming as required. Complete any scheduled or manual activation. Successful installation does not necessarily start the validity period.
How to choose data and validity
These starting suggestions assume a 5–7 day trip. Actual usage depends on video, photo uploads and hotspots. Choose validity covering every day from arrival to departure; available allowances are shown in the plan list above.
Everyday travel · estimate 2 GB per day
For navigation, social media and photo uploads, budget about 2 GB per day: roughly 6 GB for 3 days or 14 GB for 7 days. If no daily 2 GB plan is available, compare total-data plans for the whole trip.
Video and hotspots · from 20 GB
For frequent video, video calls or laptop tethering on a one-week trip, compare total-data plans from 20 GB. Choose more for longer trips or heavier video use, and confirm hotspot support.
