You can buy your package as early as you’d like — the validity period won’t start until your eSIM is installed or connects to a network.

In fact, we recommend buying your eSIM as early as possible. 

Why should I buy my eSIM in advance?

When you buy your eSIM in advance, you can plan when to install your eSIM. 

Installing an eSIM requires stable internet connection — finding dependable internet connection can be difficult when you're already traveling.

Additionally, buying and installing your eSIM in advance can help you avoid potential roaming charges from your primary provider when you're abroad.

When should I wait to buy my eSIM?

You may want to wait to buy an eSIM if it has a recycling policy. 

Some eSIM providers require eSIMs to be in use within specific time periods after purchase — this means actively connected to a network, not just installed on a device.

If an eSIM isn’t in use within the time period, it will be recycled — this means it can’t be used anymore by the person who bought it.

Before you buy, you can check the additional information to see if an eSIM has a recycling policy.

If you have any more questions, you can reach out to our support team — we're available 24/7 and always happy to help.
