That's up to you.

We recommend that you purchase the plan shortly before using it. Install it on your phone, BUT DO NOT ACTIVATE it (leave eSIM turned off after installation). Turn it on when you need it. That way you can make the most of the plan you have chosen. 

Yes, you can use HotSpot with your eSIM.

Simply activate your HotSpot and share your connection to a friend, family member etc.

Yes, of course.

Any phone that supports eSIM can store multiple profiles. So if you already have an eSIM plan installed, you can install others. BUT ONLY ONE OF THEM WILL BE ACTIVE. After the iPhone 13, Apple made it possible to run two eSIM profiles in parallel, and this is expected for Android soon.

For people who have a physical SIM card, it is no problem to use both in parallel.

eSIM technology has advanced extremely rapidly in recent years. Consequently, most new phones support this technology. Here we have listed many of the phone brands that use it, but if your phone is not listed here, it does not mean it is not supported. The quickest way, if you are unsure, is to check and search for detailed information about your phone model.

This depends on the package you choose. Some packages are activated as soon as the eSIM is installed, others as soon as you start using data. This is stated in the description of each plan.

Some of our plans require a KYC (Know Your Customer) or eKYC (electronic Know Your Customer) procedure.

eKYC stands for electronic Know Your Customer – electronic identification and verification of customer identity. The procedure is quite simple: usually, you send a photo of your passport, or some operators send you an SMS with a link after installing the eSIM, and you just follow the steps. If you have any questions about this, please email us at info@handysim.com.
