Yes, and you should. Install over Wi-Fi at home while you still have a connection you trust. The plan does not begin until the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination.

Switch the eSIM line on, make it your mobile data line and turn Data Roaming on for it. Give it a minute or two to find the local network. If nothing connects, turn Airplane Mode on and off once, or restart the phone — that starts a fresh connection.

Yes. WhatsApp stays linked to your home number and keeps working over the eSIM's data — chats, calls and video calls. You do not change your number, so there is nothing to re-verify.

Most phones from 2019 onward do — iPhone XS and newer, Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy S and Z models. Your phone also needs to be network-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if you see an EID number, you're set.

Yes, on the eSIM line. It connects to a local network by roaming, so without Data Roaming it gets no data. Keep Data Roaming switched off on your home SIM, so that line never uses data abroad.

Yes. Hotspot and tethering work on every plan. Connected devices share your plan's data, so a laptop syncing in the background can use it up quickly.

You get 5G where the plan, the local network and your phone all support it, and 4G/LTE everywhere else. Each destination page names the networks its plans use.

On screen as soon as payment clears, and by email within minutes. It is also on your order page, which you can open any time with your order reference.
