Popular Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check if my device is compatible?
Click Check Device Compatibility on the plan page. Your device must support eSIM technology, be carrier-unlocked, and not be jailbroken or rooted. Our device list is provided for general guidance only. Compatibility may vary by model, region, carrier, and operating system version, so please confirm with your device manufacturer before purchasing.
When should I buy and install my eSIM?
We recommend purchasing your eSIM within 30 days before travel and installing it before your trip while you still have a stable internet connection. Your package starts when you connect to a supported network in your destination.
Where do I find my eSIM after purchase?
You can access your eSIM in your confirmation email and in My Account → My eSIMs. My eSIMs is the easiest and fastest way to view installation options, status, expiration, and remaining data.
How do I use my eSIM?
After purchase, go to My Account → My eSIMs, open your eSIM, and choose one of the available options under eSIM Installation & Usage.
- Install eSIM — This is the fastest and easiest option for supported iPhone and iPad devices for direct activation.
- Show QR Code — If Install eSIM button is not available, simply scan the QR code with the device you want to install the eSIM on.
- eSIM Instructions – PIN: XXXX — Use this for manual setup and more detailed installation and network information.
After installation, go to Settings → Cellular, open the OXeSIM line, make sure Turn On This Line is on, and turn Data Roaming on. Then go to Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data and select the OXeSIM line.
Do I need Wi-Fi to install my eSIM?
It is best to install your eSIM before travel while you still have a stable internet connection. Your plan starts after you connect to a supported network in a covered destination.
Can I reuse my eSIM?
Yes. Go to My Account → My eSIMs, open the eSIM you want to use again, click Order again, complete checkout, and activate it the same way.
This is how OXeSIM simplifies the process and lets you use the same eSIM again instead of using a traditional top-up flow.
Are refunds available if my device is not compatible?
No. Refunds are not available for purchases made on devices that do not support eSIM. Customers are responsible for confirming device compatibility before purchase.
Are Unlimited plans truly unlimited?
Unlimited plans may be subject to a Fair Usage Policy (FUP). After a high-speed usage threshold within a given period, speeds may be reduced until that period resets. This may vary depending on the plan or network provider.
Choosing a Plan - Find the right eSIM
How do I choose the right eSIM plan?
Go to eSIM Plans in the top header and choose Local, Regional, Global, or All eSIMs. Then select your destination and compare the available plans on that page. You can also use the search bar to find your travel destination.
What’s the difference between Local, Regional, and Global eSIMs?
Local eSIM is for one country. Regional eSIM is for multiple countries within one region. Global eSIM is for worldwide travel across supported destinations.
What’s the difference between Standard, Unlimited, and Data/Calls/Texts?
Standard plans include a fixed data amount. Unlimited plans are designed for travelers who want the most flexible data option. Data/Calls/Texts plans include data plus calling minutes and SMS, when available.
Do all destinations have Data/Calls/Texts plans?
No. Data/Calls/Texts plans are only available for selected destinations, depending on availability and compliance requirements. If available, they will appear on the plan page.
How do I compare plans on the plan page?
On the destination page, use the Standard | Unlimited toggle to compare available options and pricing. If Data/Calls/Texts is available for that destination, it will also appear on the same plan page.
How do I see which countries are included in a Regional or Global plan?
On Regional and Global plan pages, click View Country Coverage to see the supported countries for that plan. This list is provided for general guidance. Final coverage, speed, and network details are available after purchase through eSIM Instructions – PIN: XXXX in My eSIMs.
Why don’t I see View Country Coverage on a Local plan?
Because a Local eSIM is designed for one country only, so a country coverage list is not needed.
When does my plan start?
Your package starts when you connect to a supported network in your destination. For Regional and Global plans, if you are already in a covered country when you activate the eSIM, the plan may start immediately.
Why is my destination not listed?
If a destination is not listed, it may be temporarily unavailable or unavailable due to compliance requirements. OXeSIM continues to support a wide range of destinations across Local, Regional, and Global plans while maintaining compliance with applicable regulations.

Do I need an account before checkout?

Can social sign-in be used for both login and registration?
Yes. Social sign-in options such as Sign in with Google can be used for both login and registration.

What is the fastest way to install my eSIM on iPhone or iPad?
If Install eSIM is available on your supported iPhone or iPad, that is the fastest and easiest direct installation option.

Yes. If Install eSIM is not available, use Show QR Code in My eSIMs and scan it with your phone. You can also find the QR code from the PDF file sent by email after purchase.
What is eSIM Instructions - PIN: XXXX used for?
eSIM Instructions – PIN: XXXX gives you more detailed installation and usage information, including additional plan and network details. It is useful if you want more control or need more detailed setup guidance.

Then go to Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data and select the eSIM line you purchased from OXeSIM.

If you purchased a Data/Calls/Texts plan, also go to Settings → Cellular → Default Voice Line and select the OXeSIM line.
Do I need to configure everything manually?
In most cases, no. Once you install the eSIM and tap Activate, the setup is mostly automatic. You may only need to confirm that the OXeSIM line is turned on and selected under Cellular Data.
How can I make my data last longer?
We recommend setting your device to Low Data Mode after installation to help reduce unnecessary background data usage.
How do I know if my eSIM is activated?
In My Account → My eSIMs, you can view your eSIM status:
- NOT ACTIVATED
- ACTIVATED
- EXPIRED
You can also see remaining data and, once activated, the expiration date.
Why is my eSIM installed but not working yet?
Installation alone is not enough. Make sure the OXeSIM line is turned on, Data Roaming is enabled, and the OXeSIM line is selected under Cellular Data. If you purchased a Data/Calls/Texts plan, also select the OXeSIM line under Default Voice Line.
Most common reason, IMPORTANT: Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data Select the OXeSIM line.
How should I install my eSIM if I want the easiest option first?
