An eSIM, or embedded SIM, is the modern successor to traditional SIM cards. Unlike physical SIM cards, an eSIM is built directly into your device, allowing you to download and switch carrier profiles without needing a physical SIM. This means no more losing tiny SIM cards or fumbling with paperclips to change them. Simply put, eSIM technology streamlines your mobile experience, making it easier and more convenient to stay connected, especially when traveling.

To set up your Roafly eSIM, make sure you're connected to Wi-Fi first. We suggest installing and activating your eSIM shortly before you leave for your trip. Although it's possible to activate your eSIM after you've arrived at your destination, remember that a Wi-Fi connection is necessary for the setup. This ensures you're connected and ready to go the moment you land.

It allows travelers to seamlessly connect to local networks without the hassle of physical SIM cards. For travel companies, offering eSIM services means a chance to deepen customer relationships by providing a valuable, branded digital experience. With the widespread availability of eSIM technology and changing roaming charge dynamics, eSIMs offer a cost-effective, convenient solution for staying connected abroad. Roafly leverages these advantages to ensure our customers enjoy the best possible connectivity during their travels.

Roafly eSIM plans come with a specific data limit and validity period. If you exhaust your data before your plan's expiry date, your internet access will be paused. Likewise, when the validity period ends, so does your access, regardless of data usage. But don't worry! You can easily top up or purchase a new plan directly through the Roafly app to continue enjoying uninterrupted service. This way, you're never left without a connection when you need it most.

The number of eSIM profiles you can store simultaneously depends on your device. Some devices, like the latest iPhone models, allow for multiple profiles to be stored, but only one can be active at a time. Dual SIM devices enable you to use a physical SIM and an eSIM concurrently. Roafly's service is designed to be flexible, allowing you to switch between stored eSIM profiles easily, ensuring you always have access to the best local data deals.

Absolutely! You can configure your device to use your SIM card for traditional phone services like calls and SMS, while using Roafly's eSIM for data services. This setup is perfect for travelers who want to stay connected abroad without incurring roaming charges for data use. However, remember that keeping your SIM card active for calls and texts might lead to roaming charges from your home provider, so it's wise to check their policies before your trip.

What does “unlocked phone” mean?

An unlocked phone isn't restricted to a specific carrier's network, meaning it can connect to any carrier. This is crucial for using eSIMs, as you need to switch to different networks without physical SIM swaps. A locked phone, however, is tied to a specific carrier's network, usually as part of a contract.

How to check if your phone is unlocked:

• Purchase Origin: Phones bought directly from manufacturers like Apple or Samsung are generally unlocked. Phones from carriers might be locked to their networks.
• Try Another SIM Card: Inserting a SIM card from a different carrier and checking if you can make calls or use data can quickly tell you if your phone is unlocked.
• Settings Check (For iPhones): For iOS 14 and later, go to Settings > General > About and look for "Carrier Lock" or "Network Provider Lock". "No SIM restrictions" means your phone is unlocked.
• Contact Your Carrier: If you're still unsure, your carrier can confirm whether your phone is locked and guide you on how to unlock it.

My phone is unlocked. Can I use eSIMs?

If your phone is unlocked and supports eSIM technology, you're all set to use Roafly eSIMs. Enjoy the convenience of switching to local networks wherever you travel, without the hassle of physical SIM cards. Our eSIM plans are designed to keep you connected in over 190 countries, ensuring you always have access to the best local rates for your data needs.

Check Compatibility: First, make sure your iPhone model supports eSIM technology. Most newer iPhone models do, but it's always a good idea to confirm.

1. Obtain an eSIM QR Code: Upon subscribing to a Roafly plan, you'll receive an eSIM activation QR code via email. Ensure you have this code handy for the activation process.
2. Connect to Wi-Fi or Cellular Data: An internet connection is necessary for activating your eSIM. Connect your iPhone to a Wi-Fi network or use another device's cellular data if available.
3. Open Settings App: On your iPhone, go to the "Settings" application to begin the process.
4. Navigate to Cellular Settings: Tap "Cellular" (or "Mobile Data" in some regions), then select "Add Cellular Plan."
5. Scan QR Code: Use your iPhone's camera to scan the QR code received from Roafly. If you were given activation details instead of a QR code, choose to enter these details manually.
6. Confirm Activation: Follow any additional prompts to confirm the setup and activate your eSIM. You might need to restart your iPhone to complete the activation.

Regarding the use of your Roafly eSIM on multiple devices, it's important to note that once an eSIM is installed and activated on one device, it cannot be transferred to another device. This is a standard security and operational measure across most eSIM services, including Roafly's, to ensure a consistent and secure connection for the user. Therefore, carefully select the device on which you wish to use your Roafly eSIM. If you need to switch your eSIM to another device in the future, contacting Roafly customer support for assistance would be the best course of action.

Choosing an eSIM like Roafly's for your iPhone can significantly streamline your travel experience by providing easy access to data services in over 190 countries. This guide ensures you can confidently activate your eSIM and enjoy uninterrupted connectivity on your travels.

At Roafly, we prioritize the security of our customers and strive to provide a safe shopping environment. While we typically do not require documentation for purchasing an eSIM, we reserve the right to request additional identity verification for transactions that our payment gateway flags as suspicious or potentially fraudulent. This process may involve submitting a government-issued ID or passport to confirm your identity. We handle all personal information securely in accordance with our privacy policy. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in these instances to help us maintain the security and integrity of our transactions.

For any questions or concerns about this process, please contact our customer support team at support@roafly.com.
