After installation

Check your eSIM before flying.

Turn on the eSIM and do one last check before flying:

  1. Go to "Settings" > "Cellular".
  2. Turn on eSIM (eSIM may display the carrier name).
  3. If your eSIM shows "activating" or "not activated," it's normal because there's no signal yet; the eSIM hasn't connected to the network specified in your data plan. Once you arrive at your destination, the eSIM will indicate successful activation.

Is it working? You can turn off your eSIM until you reach your destination. Not yet? Contact us via the Contact page or Zalo.

Have you arrived? Activate your eSIM.

To activate eSIM while abroad:

  1. Go to "Settings" > "Cellular".
  2. Select eSIM you want to turn on
  3. Turn on "Data Roaming" (when you tap on eSIM). Detailed instructions on how to enable data roaming
  4. Turn off "Allow mobile data roaming" in the "Mobile Data" section.

Need assistance? Contact us via the Contact page. Refer to the instructions for enabling data roaming here.

Is your data plan running out?

When your plan has about 20% remaining, you'll receive an email notification. Click the link in the email to choose a new plan and add it to your existing eSIM — no need to scan the QR code again.

Make sure your primary SIM card is still enabled to receive verification SMS when purchasing a new plan.

Check eSIM device compatibility

Check whether your phone supports eSIM — auto-detect your device or search by name.

⚠️ Do hạn chế thông tin nên kết quả kiểm tra của chúng tôi chỉ mang tính chất tham khảo (độ chính xác là 99%).

Xin quý khách lưu ý các trường hợp sau:

  • iPhone bản Trung Quốc / Hong Kong / Macau thường không có eSIM (2 SIM vật lý).
  • Một số máy Android bản China cũng không hỗ trợ eSIM.
  • Điện thoại khoá mạng cũng không thể sử dụng esim du lịch

Để chắc chắn sử dụng được esim:

  1. Vui lòng ấn *#06# trên màn hình quay số và sau đó ấn nút Gọi. Nếu kết quả không hiện ra thông số EID thì thiết bị của Quý khách không hỗ trợ esim
  2. Kiểm tra máy có giới hạn sim không bằng cách truy cập Cài đặt (Settings) / Cài đặt chung (General) Giới thiệu (About) / kiểm tra tại dòng Khoá mạng (Network Provider Lock)
