Using a travel eSIM during a multi-country layover

A layover may happen in a country outside your main destination. A regional plan can cover several countries, but the included-country list and service start rule determine whether it works during a short stop.

Before you go

Check the transit airport’s country, whether the plan starts on first connection, and whether the connection time justifies using the package. Keep airport Wi-Fi as a backup.

  • Check that every country on your trip appears in the coverage list.
  • Read the plan validity and the event that starts its clock.
  • Treat local-currency displays as estimates; the checkout USD amount is the amount charged.

If the instructions don’t match your phone

Inventory, coverage and activation rules can change. Read the terms attached to the exact package at checkout, and save a copy for your trip.
