Frequently asked questions
Will my phone work with a India eSIM?
Any eSIM-compatible phone bought in the last few years (iPhone XS or newer, Pixel 3 or newer, recent Samsung Galaxy, etc.) works with our India eSIMs. Use our compatibility checker if you are unsure.
When does the India eSIM start counting?
Validity starts the moment the eSIM connects to a network in India, not when you buy it. You can install it before your trip without losing days.
Do I keep my regular number while using the India eSIM?
Yes. Your physical SIM stays active for calls and SMS on your normal number. The India eSIM only handles mobile data, so WhatsApp, maps, and apps keep working.
Can I tether or use a hotspot in India?
Yes, all our India plans allow tethering and personal hotspot, so you can share data with a laptop or another device.
What happens if I run out of data in India?
You can buy a new plan for India at any time and install it on top of the previous one. No need to wait or visit a shop.
Is the India eSIM refundable?
If you have not installed or activated the eSIM yet, contact our support and we will issue a refund. Once the QR has been scanned and the eSIM activated, it cannot be refunded.
