eSIM Hero eSIM questions
Direct answers based on the current catalog, editorial record and promotion data.
Is eSIM Hero data-only?
Yes in the usual travel pattern. Use your primary SIM or apps for calls and SMS unless a plan explicitly includes voice.

After checkout, scan the QR in the order email on a compatible unlocked phone. Finish install on Wi-Fi before you fly, then enable the line on arrival.

In the current eSIM Hero sample, an unreported share of plans advertise 5G and an unreported share mention hotspot or tethering. Feature availability can still vary by destination, so confirm the exact plan details before checkout.
