Neat visualization and very simple explanation. Good stuff, thanks!

10/10 was super skeptical of this but it worked. Manually doing it didn’t work but thankfully managed to use my laptop to scan the QR code and that worked like a charm.

Amazing video and service. ❤️

I just purchased my ESIM from Holafly. I don't travel until November but is it OK to install now? Also, my cell phone operator (T-Mobile) gives us unlimited free data overseas (but at a very slow rate, like 256kbps), so is it necessary for me to disable the "switch mobile data" toggle since I wouldn't be charged for roaming?

Hello - great video! It says to install a few hours before activating. What is considered a few hours? I would like to install a day (24 hours) before I arrive a my destination. Is this possible to install 24 hours prior to activation?

hello, . Great video. I would like to know, if I install the eSim I can start receiving text for verification on Apps or I must activate the eSim first. Thank you in advance

How do I adjust these changes? When I didn’t apply the same steps you have in the video ? Or is it too late ? I didn’t select data roaming switch 😭

How do I get an eSim which include local phone call for Spain and not just Data? Thank you for your video. 🤔

Hi! I'm traveling to Spain with an AT&T Samsung s21 ultra 5g. Does my phone have to be unlocked for the Esim? Thanks!

Can you still use your phone when it is installed? It has” mobile dara switching “turned off so can I still use my wifi in the airport before I leave for my trip?

Hi, I will travel to Europe in a few days and I'm thinking to buy holafly esim, I just have a question: I want unlimited internet(data roaming) but I do not want to receive or made any phone call or using my home phone plan to avoid expensive charges. Can I use only holafly esim for data roaming or I still have to keep activated my original SIM card with my carrier here in Canada with holafly sim?

[narussaki]

I scanned the QR code because the email said that u can install the eSIM and activate it later but when i scanned the qr code, it got activated? so does that mean my eSIM got activated before my trip? when i saw on the eSIM it says the line is already turned on! please help!

[davidpopescu]

If I chose the 15 days plan, do I have unlimited data for this period? Can I hotspot from my phone, where I’ve installed holafly, other devices?

[maxkostelecky]

Can i just use ur esim without anyother esim or normal sim on my phone. Activated the esim scanned the qr code got all 4 Bars connection but no Internet still

I’m already in Germany and want to get Holafly. I suspended my Verizon plan while I’m here but I have my iPhone and original SIM card. If I activate holafly esim on my phone, will I incur any charges from Verizon if I select my phone number as primary number?

Do I need to turn on cellular data on my iPhone?

Hi, I am travelling to the UAE in a few days and have purchased and installed the sim, I have had a look at the documents and the videos but still a little confused. I have the iphone 15, if i turn of my primary line and activate my esim, when i use whats app etc will it register as a new number or will it send my messages with my old number.
The video says to change voice calling and roaming to my esim.
Just a liitle confused at the moment. Thanks

[cujodu]

I'm confused. The instructions say to "install" prior to travel but "activate" upon arrival. When I scan the installation QR code it says "ready to activate". IDK how to "install" but not "activate" the esim.

[Puckelitos]

I bought a 5 day esim today and wanted to install it before my trip next week. I have Iphone 12. So I installed it and directlly it popped up as activated? I dont want to activate it now. I just want to prepare the phone before I go on my trip.

Hi, after i buy the esim from holafly how many days i have to install and activate it? I plan my trip in April, can i buy today (3rd Mar), install it and activate only in April?
