From buying a plan for a locked phone to forgetting to enable data roaming on the eSIM line, a few small mistakes can leave you offline on arrival. Here are the five we see most often — and how to avoid every one of them.
1. Not checking device compatibility
Confirm your phone is eSIM-capable and carrier-unlocked before you buy.
2. Waiting until you land
Install your eSIM on hotel or home Wi-Fi before departure so you’re online the moment you arrive.
