FAQ
eSIM is an embedded SIM card compatible with most modern smartphones, tablets and smart devices. Physically, it is a chip inside the smartphone that receives the carrier's signal. In fact, eSIM is a slot for virtual SIM cards and you can switch between them in the phone's settings.
Here's a list of devices: show supported devices
No. You can only install eSIM on one device and only once. This means that if you remove eSIM from your device, you cannot install it again.
On the other hand, you can use your personal hotspot with your eSIM.
We send an eSIM QR code once you purchase. You receive it almost instantly after the payment.
It takes about 5 minutes to activate eSIM. Here are some recommendations for a successful eSIM activation on your device:
- Connect to a stable Internet source (preferably Wi-Fi network at home or in a hotel);
- Scan the QR code with the device that you will be using while traveling to access the internet;
- Follow the further setup steps on your device.
If there's no way to scan the QR (for example, you received it on the same device you are going to install it on), you'll have to copy and paste the settings manually. Usually it takes the same amount of time.
Didn't get the QR code in more than 10 minutes? Contact us directly in our chat or at [email protected].
No. After removing the eSIM, you will get an error when trying to load it again.
eSIM has fixed traffic packages with a fixed validity period. It's the same process as the purchase, but instead of a new eSIM, the package is added to the current active Just eSIM. Keep in mind that the new package is not added to the current one: each package has its own remaining traffic and validity period.
Note: if you try to top up the eSIM that has been removed or has not been installed yet, your money will go nowhere and you will have to get a refund via tech support.
The eSIM validity period starts on the first connection to the Internet, i.e. upon your arrival to the destination country which you purchased the package for.
Downloading eSIM settings is not considered an activation, but it helps save time after you land at your destination. The activation itself takes 5 minutes, but still you need to find a Wi-Fi network. And if you download eSIM in advance, you can use it as soon as you get to your destination.
Warning: the following issue at the border may occur. For example, if you purchase and set up a package for Spain in Andorra, your eSIM may connect to the Spanish carrier and be activated ahead of time as the state border is too close and the coverage area may cross it.
Almost certainly!
Just eSIM operates in more than 150 countries and regions!
We accept only international cards VISA, Mastercard, American Express and UnionPay.
The most obvious approach is to install eSIM at home the day before departure, using either the home carrier's network or Wi-Fi network. Otherwise, once you arrive at your destination, you will have to find a Wi-Fi network, which is not always convenient.
Installing eSIM means downloading the settings using a QR code or entering the settings manually. Activation will occur once you arrive at your destination, when the SIM card connects to the local carrier.
Just eSIM data packages are only valid within the term and data volume specified at purchase. When the validity period expires, the remaining traffic is canceled.
Yes, we do not limit traffic sharing to other devices. This is especially relevant when sharing traffic with a laptop or a device that does not support eSIM.
