Your eSIM is valid for 180 days before activation, so you have plenty of time to install it. Your data plan only starts counting down once you arrive in your destination country and the eSIM connects to the local network. Install it before departure, but don't worry – your days won't start until you're actually there!

Absolutely! Our eSIMs provide full internet connectivity, perfect for WhatsApp, FaceTime, Skype, Zoom, and all other VoIP services. You can make calls, send messages, and video chat just like with your regular data connection.

No throttling on regular data plans – you get full 4G/5G speeds up to 1 Gbit/s depending on local network capabilities. We partner with premium tier-1 carriers so you enjoy the same speeds as locals.

Track your usage in real-time through: 1) Your phone's settings menu, 2) Our Simbye app with live statistics, 3) Email notifications at usage milestones, or 4) Your account dashboard on our website. You'll always know exactly how much data you have left.
