Can I Install My eSIM Before I Fly Overseas?Updated 15 days ago

There's a couple parts to firing up one of our eSIMs 🔥📱

➡️ There’s the installation and the activation 👇

Installation:
By this we mean scanning the QR code itself and seeing the eSIM appear in your phone’s SIM menu. While scanning, your phone might prompt you to “activate” — go ahead and click that. No worries! This doesn’t start your plan — it’s just part of the install process.

If you need help double-checking whether it’s in there or not, check out how to find it by following the steps here 👀 This step can be completed either in Australia, or abroad.

🌍 This is as far as you can go in the activation process until you land in your destination country! If you do scan your QR code at home, be sure to turn your eSIM OFF until you land ✈️

Activation:
Your eSIM can’t complete activation until it has a local network to connect to; it won’t work anywhere else 🌐 This also means your plan won’t start until this step is completed, so no need to worry about accidentally activating it unless you’re in a country that’s covered by the eSIM 📶
