Additional notes

When you're at your destination, Cellular Data should be assigned to your Fulldatos eSIM. Your 'Primary' SIM should show as off and the 'Travel' SIM as on.

When your trip ends

Make sure to turn off or delete the eSIM. We recommend that you don't delete our eSIM, so you can top it up for your next trip and avoid installing a new one. To delete it, open the 'Cellular' menu, select the secondary SIM and choose 'Delete eSIM'.
