Questions
When should I install it?
Any time before you travel, while you have internet. The validity only starts when the eSIM first connects to a network at the destination.
Can I get a refund?
Only while the eSIM has never been installed: then it can be cancelled and the full amount goes back to your NovaCodes balance. Once it has been installed on a phone there is no refund.
Can I keep the eSIM after the trip?
Yes. This plan can be topped up, so keep the eSIM on the phone and add data for your next trip instead of installing a new one. If you delete it, it is gone: it cannot be installed twice.
Does my own SIM keep working?
Yes. Your own SIM stays in the phone for calls and SMS. To avoid roaming charges from your operator, keep data roaming off on that line and use the eSIM for mobile data.
Will it work on my phone?
The phone needs eSIM and must not be locked to one operator. Look your model up, or ask the phone itself.
- Dial *#06# on the phone. If the screen that opens shows an EID number, the phone has eSIM. No EID there usually means it has none.
- The phone must be carrier-unlocked. A phone locked to one operator refuses any other operator’s eSIM. If it was bought on a contract, ask that operator whether it is locked.
