Set up the essentials while you still have a dependable connection. Confirm that your phone supports eSIM, is carrier-unlocked, and has enough storage for any travel apps or downloads you need.
Prepare your phone before departure
- Install any map, translation, payment, or transport apps you expect to use.
- Download offline information you may need at the airport or during your first transfer.
- Save important booking details where you can access them without a connection.
Plan your arrival connection
Keep your eSIM setup instructions available and review the activation guidance that comes with the plan. When you arrive, use the selected eSIM line for mobile data only when you are ready to connect.
Network conditions and third-party services can vary. Give yourself a backup option for your first journey, such as a saved address, hotel Wi-Fi details, or offline directions.
