If i buy today, can i install now and activate 10 days later at my destination?
sadly they don't give you a phone number
Why does my actual provider stopped working after I installed the travel eSIM? Urgh so frustrating.. One day before departure and my phone does not work unless in WiFi
Not good at all
Why can’t I use my 4G?
Once I install the eSIM but want to disable when im in the hotel or at a location with wifi how would I do so? Thanks in advance!
Did all the steps, while still in my home country. The plan says “not activated” yet. When dors the poan actually activate?
Shocking service could not get it working, asked for refund
First of all this is hard and there is no phone service. That sucks. How about making a video about what the phone should look like while abroad. I still have no idea if this Is card is working or not. NOT GOOD at all
I tried eSIM in Mexico..didn’t work for Uber. Leaving for Brazil soon, really hoping it works there.
I love Airalo and have used it many times for travelling over the past 9 months. Only hiccup I had was in HK when using a global sim for multiple countries. They gave me a refund though and the next esim I got worked fine.
Here's my code for $3 off your first sim: TRACY4751
hi, can I use your app if my phone is locked to US carrier?
Hi if I selected primary on the cellular data page instead of the eSIM line can I change this?
Hi There, Do I install the e simm before departure or after landing the destination ?

Hi i mistakenly chose my primary line for the cellular data option when installing the esim. Now it shows my local network for data. I am still in my home country. How can i fix this

I got the global esim. Can I download it days before my trip and just turn it on the day I get there?
If I download it now, am I going to use my data in my home country?
Too confusing
I cannot see your airalo app on my App Store. What’s the solution ?
Do I need to remove my normal SIMM card (physical card) when I activate the esimm – can I still receive messages that are sent to my normal SIMM card (physical) whilst I’m using your esimm .? Thanks
if by accident I kept the cellular data on my primary how can I change it?

How do I check my iphone is carrier-unlocked?
I have calls and text as well as data. Will people be able to contact me on my existing phone number or do I need to give them a new number.
Im platinum user Airalo.
So I don’t touch my primary I noticed you didn’t change anything for it?
