Tip: eSIMs usually don't work on cruises as they are supported by networks within specific countries.

Tip: Reception in Sinai (Egypt) isn't always the best (due to unstable networks). We cannot guarantee the best reception in this area.

Instructions on how to install the StaffTraveler eSIM on your device can be found here.

Yes, you can add the StaffTraveler eSIM to your phone even if you already have another eSIM installed. Most modern smartphones support multiple eSIM profiles but only one can be active at a time. You can switch between eSIM profiles through your phone's settings as needed.

Deleting your eSIM will permanently remove it from your device, making it impossible to reinstall or use again. We strongly advise against this action, as any purchased data plans associated with the eSIM will become unusable once it is deleted.

You should be ready to go once you have purchased your first plan and installed your eSim. Just switch your data to the eSIM when you arrive at your destination. Don't forget to switch on roaming on your eSIM; without roaming enabled, the data connection will not work. If you have issues connecting, don't hesitate to contact our support staff at [email protected].

When your eSIM first connects to a network, your plan starts. As all our plans are valid for 365 days.

When you open the app, you will see a counter which tells you how much data you have left on your plan. We also send an email once you reach 80% of your plan.

To top up your plan, simply purchase a new plan. Your new plan will automatically be activated when your current plan is depleted. Your new plan will be valid for 365 days from the date of activation.

No. You can use various apps such as WhatsApp or Telegram, but the StaffTraveler eSIM doesn't allow sending SMS messages or receiving calls based on cellular networks.

Of course, you're familiar with SIM cards - those tiny chips you insert into your phone to connect to a cellular network. An eSIM (electronic SIM) functions much the same way, but it's integrated into your device, serving as a virtual SIM card. With an eSIM, there is no need to swap out SIM cards anymore physically. You easily activate your eSIM by tapping a button in the StaffTraveler eSIM app. This means you can connect to the internet while traveling abroad without ever worrying about finding a local SIM card or dealing with expensive roaming charges. An eSIM is like having a portable, virtual SIM card that makes staying connected while traveling easier and more convenient than ever before. It's a game-changer for travelers like you who love exploring new places while staying connected.

Convenience
No more dealing with fiddly SIM cards and ejector pins. With an eSIM, activating a new cellular plan is as simple as tapping a few buttons in our app.

Flexibility
Whether you're on a short weekend getaway or a long-term adventure, an eSIM offers the flexibility to choose the data plan that best suits your needs.

Savings
Traditional roaming can be costly, with varying rates across different countries and delayed billing that often results in unexpected charges at month's end. With the StaffTraveler eSIM, you have the advantage of prepaying for your data. Regardless of where you are in the world, you enjoy a consistent, low rate. This method leads to considerable savings, allowing you to stay connected without overspending.

How much data you need depends heavily on the type of apps that you use. For your convenience, here's an overview of the average data usage of some of the most popular travel apps:

You can check your current data usage in the StaffTraveler eSIM app. As all StaffTraveler eSIM plans are valid for a full year, we recommend selecting a plan that offers enough data to last the entire year.
