If you haven't flown out yet, make sure your ‘Simify’ line is turned OFF and Data Roaming is also OFF. This will allow you to use your phone the way you normally would.

⚠️ If you install your eSIM before traveling, it may briefly show “Activating” and then give an error message. Don’t worry -this is expected. Simply switch it off and wait until you arrive at your destination.
