When Should You Install Your eSIM? Before or After Traveling?
One of the most common questions travelers ask is: Should I install my eSIM before I travel or after I arrive?
The answer is simple — before you travel.
Why You Should Install Your eSIM Before Departure
Installing your eSIM requires an internet connection. Doing it at home or before leaving ensures:
-
A smooth and stress-free setup
-
No need to search for Wi-Fi at the airport
-
Immediate connectivity upon arrival
Once installed, your eSIM will remain inactive until you enable it at your destination.
What Happens When You Arrive?
When you land:
-
Open your phone settings
-
Enable the eSIM
-
Turn on mobile data
That’s it — you’re instantly connected.
Can I Install It After I Arrive?
Yes, but only if you have access to Wi-Fi. To avoid delays or connection issues, installing your eSIM in advance is strongly recommended.
Travel Tip
Always keep your main SIM active for calls and messages, and use your FreaeSIM eSIM for mobile data abroad.
