Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the data estimate?
The numbers err 10–20% high on purpose — running out of data on day 6 of a 7-day trip is worse than buying slightly more than you needed. Sources: Google Maps + Netflix + Spotify official bandwidth specs, sampled in mid-2025.
Why does video streaming use so much more data than music?
Video is information-dense. Spotify standard quality is ~60 MB/hr; Netflix HD is ~3 GB/hr — about 50× more. The activity table breaks down each app type so you can match your real usage.
Does the recommendation include hotspot/tethering?
It assumes phone-only usage. If you regularly hotspot a laptop for video calls or downloads, pick the "Power" profile or step up one tier — laptops use roughly 3–5× more data than phones for equivalent activity.
What if I underestimate and run out mid-trip?
Most LAN eSIM plans support buying a top-up plan from the same web checkout — your existing eSIM stays installed, you just buy more data. Cheaper than going over carrier roaming pay-per-MB rates.
Why are total-data plans cheaper than daily plans?
Daily-cap plans guarantee high speed every day regardless of your trip length, which has overhead. Total-data plans let you self-pace — useful if you have unbalanced days (heavy on travel days, light at the resort).

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into modern smartphones. It lets you activate a mobile data plan by scanning a QR code — no physical SIM card needed.
Which devices support eSIM?
iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and most recent flagship phones. Check Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM on your device.
Can I make phone calls with the eSIM?
Our eSIM plans provide data only. You can use VoIP apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Skype for voice and video calls over your data connection.
How do I activate the eSIM at my destination?
The eSIM activates automatically when you arrive and enable data roaming in your device settings. Simply install the eSIM before your trip by scanning the QR code, then turn on data roaming when you land.
Can multiple people share one eSIM?
No, each eSIM can only be installed on one device. Please purchase separate plans for each traveler in your group.
What happens when my data runs out?
Your eSIM will stop providing data. You can purchase a new plan on our website and install it on your device to continue using mobile data.
How long is the eSIM valid?
The eSIM must be installed within 6 months of purchase. Once you connect to a network at your destination, the plan duration (e.g. 7 days, 30 days) begins counting down.
What is the refund policy?
Simple rule: if you haven't used it, you can refund it. Not activated → 45-day full refund, any reason. Activated with quality issue → 30-day full refund or free replacement (just describe symptoms, we check logs to resolve). Only non-refundable case: activated and working as described. In case of dispute, PayPal Buyer Protection decides independently (both sides submit evidence). Email [email protected] — response within 24 hours.
What is the difference between eSIM and a physical SIM card?
An eSIM is a digital SIM embedded in your phone — no physical card to swap. You activate it by scanning a QR code. It works as a second line alongside your existing SIM, so you keep your phone number while using local data abroad. Check device compatibility to see if your phone supports eSIM.
How do I set up eSIM on my iPhone?
On iPhone: Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM > Use QR Code. Point your camera at the QR code we sent to your email. Tap "Add Cellular Plan" and follow the prompts. Before your trip, just enable Data Roaming. See how it works for a step-by-step guide.
Can I install the eSIM before my trip?
Yes, and we highly recommend it! Install the eSIM while you have WiFi. The data plan timer only starts when you connect to a network at your destination — not when you install. Browse our available plans and set up before you fly.
Do I need to remove my physical SIM card?
No! Your eSIM works alongside your physical SIM (dual SIM). Keep your regular SIM for calls and texts, and use the eSIM for affordable mobile data abroad. Check compatible devices that support dual SIM.
