Installing takes three minutes. The only real trap is when you activate.
Install before you fly
Install at home on Wi-Fi. Activation itself starts on your first connection to the local network.
Keep your main line
Your physical SIM stays in for bank texts. Just turn its data off while abroad.
If nothing connects
Pick the network manually in settings — nine times out of ten that is all it takes.
syla: never delete an eSIM to reinstall it — a deleted profile cannot be used again.
Build a plan for your next destination in about three minutes.
