Follow the on-screen instructions

If it asks you to assign calls and messages, assign them to your primary SIM. Only assign mobile data to the Fulldatos eSIM.

6

Turn off the eSIM before you travel

If you're not travelling yet, we recommend deactivating the eSIM and activating it when you arrive. To turn it on or off, go to the menu where you added it, select the eSIM, and find the button to enable or disable it.

When you arrive at your destination

Turn off your primary SIM to avoid unwanted charges from your local provider and turn on the Fulldatos eSIM.

8Important

Enable Data Roaming

Make sure data roaming is turned on. You can find this option in the eSIM menu or in the 'Mobile Networks'/'Mobile Plans' menu. If you can't find it, use the settings search to find Roaming.

When your trip ends

Re-enable your primary SIM, then you can deactivate or remove the Fulldatos eSIM. We recommend that you don't remove it, so you can top it up for your next trip and avoid installing a new one.
