When should I install my eSIM?

Install before you travel, while you're on reliable wifi. At home, the night before, at the departure gate — any of those beat trying to scan a QR code in arrivals with no connection.

Does installing start my plan?

For most plans, no — the clock starts when the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination, not when you install it. Your plan's validity period is shown at checkout and in your account.

What happens between installing and landing?

Nothing — the eSIM sits dormant on your phone. Keep your mobile data set to your normal SIM until you arrive, and the FullBars eSIM won't use a byte.

When you land

1. Switch mobile data to your FullBars eSIM.
2. Make sure data roaming is ON for the eSIM.
3. Give it a minute to find a network. Full bars.
