A regional eSIM covers several countries in the same area (e.g., Europe, Asia, Latin America), practical for multi-destination trips. A global eSIM works in over 200 countries, perfect for frequent travelers.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can I change my eSIM plan once activated?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"answer\">Yes, you can purchase and activate a new eSIM plan at any time, even if a plan is already active. However, each plan is independent, and unused data is generally not transferable from one plan to another.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How do I know if my eSIM plan is activated?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"answer\">Once the eSIM is installed, it activates automatically as soon as you connect to a compatible network. You can check its activation in your phone settings, under \u00ab\u00a0Mobile Data\u00a0\u00bb or \u00ab\u00a0Cellular Plans.\u00a0\u00bb<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What happens if I lose my eSIM QR code?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"answer\">If you have lost your QR code, you can usually find it in your purchase confirmation email. With Vostra, you can also log back into your account and retrieve your eSIM.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can an eSIM be transferred from one phone to another?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"answer\">No, an eSIM is generally tied to a single device once activated. If you change phones, you will need to get a new eSIM and follow the installation process on the new device.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How many eSIM plans can I have on my phone?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"answer\">This depends on your smartphone model. For example, recent iPhones allow you to store multiple eSIMs and switch between them, but can only activate two lines simultaneously (one eSIM and one physical SIM or two eSIMs).<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do eSIM plans include a phone number?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"answer\">Most eSIM plans are for mobile data only and do not include a phone number. However, some operators offer eSIMs with a number for calls and SMS.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How to avoid connection interruptions with an eSIM while traveling?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"answer\">Before you leave, check that your plan covers your destination and that your phone is compatible. It is also recommended to install and activate the eSIM before departure to avoid any complications.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For modern travelers, connectivity is essential.
