FAQ
Will I lose my main number?
No. Most travelers keep their main SIM for calls and use the eSIM for data. You can choose the default line in your phone settings.
Does it work on every phone?
Not all devices support eSIM. Check your device compatibility on Airalo before purchasing.
Local vs regional plans — which is better?
For one country, local is often cheaper. For multiple countries, a regional plan is more convenient so you don’t need to switch every time.
Can I activate before traveling?
Yes, you can usually install beforehand. It’s best to enable data when you arrive so your plan duration is used at the right time.
