FAQ

Does one eSIM cover Taiwan and Hong Kong?

Only regional Asia plans that list both. Otherwise buy a plan for each.

When should I install my travel eSIM?

Install it at home on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly, but keep it switched off until you land, because many plans start their validity on first connection.
