  • Can I activate the eSIM without an internet connection?
    To activate the eSIM, you do not need to have an Internet connection, since activating roaming or data roaming from your cell phone settings will activate the plan. We recommend that you activate as soon as you arrive at your destination so as not to consume your data plan ahead of time.
