Can I select the start date of my eSIM plan?

You can’t set the specific start date but your eSIM will only activate when you arrive at your destination and it connects to the local network. From that point onwards, your eSIM validity period would begin. For example, if you purchased a 3GB 30 days eSIM for Spain, your 30 days validity would only begin when you touch down in Spain. Even if you install your eSIM before your trip, it won’t activate until you arrive.

Note that you must activate your eSIM within 180 days of purchase or the plan expires.
