An eSIM, or embedded SIM, is a digital SIM card integrated directly into your device. It offers the convenience of remote activation, eliminating the need for a physical card. This makes managing your connectivity seamless, especially for travelers or those requiring multiple numbers.

Many modern smartphones support eSIM technology, including popular models like iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, and Google Pixel 3 and later, alongside various recent flagships from other leading brands. To confirm, navigate to your phone's Settings, then 'About Phone', and look for 'EID' or 'Digital SIM' information. If these options are present, your device is eSIM-ready!

Once you've purchased an eSIM from the Simmaxi app, navigate to 'My eSIMs,' select your order, and tap 'Activate eSIM.' You can then install it by scanning the provided QR code or entering the details manually, following your device's on-screen instructions. Remember to enable Data Roaming upon arrival at your destination; the activation process typically takes just 1-2 minutes.

Absolutely. Most modern eSIM-compatible devices feature dual SIM functionality, allowing you to use both an eSIM and a physical SIM simultaneously. This enables you to maintain your primary physical SIM while adding an eSIM for international travel or a secondary line, ensuring seamless connectivity for both.

You have several convenient options to monitor your eSIM data balance. The Simmaxi app provides real-time data consumption and days remaining under 'My eSIMs' > 'View your active plan'. Alternatively, you can check your device's mobile data usage statistics in your phone settings, or consult your plan details for specific USSD codes if supported.

Your data plan activates automatically upon your arrival in the covered region, provided your eSIM line is enabled, mobile data is active, and you connect to a supported network. The validity period (e.g., 7 days, 30 days) begins from this activation moment, not your purchase date.

You can install your Simmaxi eSIM anytime after purchase, even before you travel. Your data plan, however, only begins its validity period when it connects to a supported local network in a covered region. We recommend installing your eSIM 1-2 days before your trip to ensure a smooth, hassle-free experience upon arrival.

Yes, most eSIM plans support hotspot and tethering, enabling you to share your mobile data with other devices such as laptops and tablets. Please be aware that hotspot usage counts towards your total data allowance. While widely supported, it's advisable to check your specific plan details, as some plans may have restrictions on this feature.

Accidentally deleting your eSIM is not a problem; you can easily reinstall it. To do so, open the Simmaxi app, go to "My eSIMs," find your active order, and tap "Reinstall eSIM" to scan the QR code again. Remember, most eSIM plans are for single-device use; switching devices will deactivate the prior installation.

When your data allowance is fully consumed, your mobile data service will cease. However, Wi-Fi connectivity remains unaffected, and you may still receive SMS if your plan includes it. To continue using mobile data, you can easily purchase a Top-Up package or activate a new eSIM plan. We'll send you notifications at 80% and 100% data usage to keep you informed.

If your eSIM isn't connecting, please try these common troubleshooting steps: toggle Airplane Mode on/off, restart your device, and ensure Data Roaming is enabled in your device settings. Additionally, verify your eSIM line is active, manually select a network operator, and confirm you are within a valid coverage area. Should the issue persist, navigate to your device's Settings and choose 'Reset Network Settings' (rest assured, this action will not delete your eSIM).
