Gifting, answered.
Everything you need to know before you buy for someone else. Can't find it? We're one message away.
Only when their phone first connects at the destination, not when you pay. So you can buy it days or weeks before they fly, and they can install it at home over Wi-Fi in the meantime.
To the email address you enter for them at checkout, within a few minutes of payment: the QR code, the install steps, and the manual details in case the QR won't scan.
Check before you buy: most phones from 2019 onward do, and our compatibility page lists every model. If theirs turns out not to and the eSIM hasn't been installed, you can cancel within 30 days and we refund it, less a 2.3% payment-processing charge.
No. Everything they need is in that email. There's no app to download and nothing to sign up for.
Not yet. The eSIM is sent as soon as you pay, and the email is the QR code and install steps. Send your note your own way, and tell them to look out for it.
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, 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.
Yes, as long as the eSIM hasn't been installed: cancel within 30 days and we refund it, less a small payment-processing charge (see the refund policy). If we couldn't issue your eSIM, you're refunded in full. Once a profile is downloaded to a phone it can't be reused, so we can't refund it after that.
