- We recommend installing your eSIM at home, before traveling.
- The Holafly eSIM doesn’t affect your physical SIM card. You can use both at the same time.
- Data usage on your Holafly eSIM only starts once you activate it and connect to the local network at your destination.
- For devices with eSIM and Dual SIM support, you can use both a physical SIM and the eSIM simultaneously. However, only one can be active for mobile data at a time.
