Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a 5GB eSIM plan typically last?

Can I share my 5GB eSIM data with other devices?

Yes, you can use your device's hotspot feature to share data with other devices, but remember this will consume your data allowance more quickly.

What happens if I use all 5GB before my plan expires?

Is 5GB enough for a business trip?

For most business travelers who primarily use email, messaging, and light web browsing, 5GB is sufficient for a week-long trip. However, if you plan to participate in multiple video conferences, you might want to consider a larger data package.
