Very helpful video, thank you.

Thanks great video

Very nicely done!

Thank you for this! It was extremely helpful :)

Excellent video thank you for explaining it in plan English 👍👍

Thank you!

Thanks for your video

Good work 👏 Just keep going on ....

I use an eSIM on my home provider here in Australia on the 5G network and you wouldn’t notice you have an eSIM and the phone works as normal. I did a sim swap for a eSIM when I brought the phone.

Wow so glad i found this. The SIM packages are very well priced now.

What do you can ? You said you have to scan but what do you can ? Also each esim I pick says it doesn't come with a number ?

I have a palm tungsten W and it’s 2g will the e sim work on this .

I have 3 network carriers in my country and I need all of them because every network become strong than others in some area the question is “ I have dual sim iPhone 11 and now I have two physical sim on iPhone can put the 3rd esim and be activated the 3 carrier in the same time ? With their calls and internet data ?” Thnx

Subscribed. Also a travel fox/nomad cat. How'd you know all this before me? ;) You tried DENT yet? Wonder if GiffGaff UK have switched to eSim.

One question When i buy a airalos esim how long does it take for the number to expier and deactivate itself,if i repeatedly dont buy the plan , Thanks in advance

Thanks for the video, very informative. Would like to let you know that by end of this month e-sim will be available in Nepal too 🙂. Thanks for your visit.

I travel a lot and late to the eSim game. Thanks for this.

Thank you for making this video. I am going around the world for 4 months and I was wondering how to get data.

Does esim work in hungary for calls and internet?

I’m not upgrading from my iPhone 13 pro max to new ones just because of that issue e sims are way to expensive and most counties I travel to are cheap for data and phone use on arrival it’s easy to obtain and yes it about 10-15 minutes extra work each county but worth it today in 2022

Yup e-sim can be really handy to have 👍

I have a question. My phone has been hacked by some bad actors and people were following me around for a long time harassing me. What can I do to remedy situations like that?

Where can I buy the dual sim card from

Hi. Can you make and receive calls? I need something that I can receive a text for verification code from my bank and call in the US.

I use Dent wireless esim and has a span of 300+ days before expire

i use one on my smart watch with vodafone and with my pixel 3a xl i,m not to sure what i think about this at the moment as i,ve only been to ireland this year and i used the 5 gb roaming data so i can,t give an honest answer just now

Thanks 📱📲

I just got the answer thanks

2:15 that iphone 11 case looks pretty cool. Do you have a link to it?

It's very expensive very hight price for the data plans better to buy local sim card when you land at the airport

The latest iPhones in Europe still have sim slots, and with good reason, you have wider choice of competitive cell companies, most much cheaper than the limited number of plans offered, I noticed only one plan offered in Italy, and Italy has 6 or more cell companies. Also iPhones sold in Europe use USB-pots which allow for cheaper external storage, rather than expensive internal storage. Cell plans in Europe are much cheaper too, 30-35 euros a month average vs 65-75 dollars a month average in the U.S. Presently the dollar and the euro are equal in value.

So I use MetroPCs. Given that it's a prepaid service that only offers nationwide coverage, will adding an Esim enable me to receive calls and texts via the data network I am provided from the esim? I know through wifi i could do this, but in the event I do not have this connection, will the esim be able to deliver? Also, will it assign me a new phone number?

Do I have to use a separate number with e-sim? I will use Google fi or Airalo.

If you buy more data at a local Carrier how do you tell your phone to switch from aíralo data to the data I just bought

OK, I'm way open to it but I just haven't done yet since I like to hop between cell devices for activities or testing. Now on iPhone 14 Pro Max in iOS 16.2 I had to let it transfer during set up but what if I wanna move my eSIM to another eSIM device (Galaxy Note 20 Ultra or iPad Mini6 for data)? Can I do it on the fly or will it take a moment to pull over?

Great explanation however this like others seems to push a particular service. Traveling overseas this process isn’t so easy.

So HOW can you use the mirror feature to scan a barcode or whatever, that you have taken a picture of??

Would I have to turn off roaming on my phone, as I have my original Sim?

When going abroad and using that eSim, should you have data roaming on or off? Do you need to contact your US service provider (such as AT&T) by chance and notify them of anything?

Very helpful, thanks. I find it very annoying that the QR code has to be displayed outside the phone, rather than the app or site allowing use of a photo on your phone.

Thank you for this video. Your other video about mint mobile’s intl roaming being spotty led me here. How did you get mint mobile to unlock your phone, assuming you did, in order to use esim? I paid up my phone with mint mobile and yet they refuse to unlock my iphone12pro. They told me they wont unlock because the physical sim with mint that i currently have on my iphone will not work with esim at all. I’d appreciate any input or suggestions you might have. I’m going to Italy and would like to set up airalo before I leave the country.

Can you make calls using esim to call cabs, hotel reservations etc?

This is all great and your video is very effective but about the 8 minute mark you touch on a hurdle that I was unable to get past - the "other settings" in my Samsung 21. I could never get the APN settings correct. The user guide was written by someone who assumed the user would have no difficulty jumping from screen to screen without images to keep you on track. In the end I never could get it to work. If they had voice support, or remote desktop access where they could set it up from their end, I have no doubt it would have been up and running in less than a minute. I don't get why the self install of the esim (yes, I scanned to QR code) didn't just complete the process instead of getting you 90% of the way. In the end my trip was great anyway with plenty of public WiFi, but had I needed data for directions while driving, I'd have been screwed. Plus as it was for European markets and I was in the US, there was no way to confirm it was going to work when I got there and it didn't! This was especially annoying as I could see that the eSIM had 5 bars of signal strength the entire time I was in Germany and Austria.

I travel a lot and was very interested in this technology. But I wonder about why you don't have to provide ID as when you get a physical sim, you have to provide ID and address to get the sim card

can i receive opt messeage on esim???? anyone guide me please

Do visit Northern Pakistan You will be stunned by Unimaginable beauty of North Pakistan

An important point that I encountered I bought a iPhone 14… expecting to use esi:I’m But the carrier had a 400 promotion.. Great… but I had to buy on their monthly payment plan… ok I can do that But when I arrived in Europe. I discovered the monthly plan Locke the phone to the carrier Ergo no esim from another carrier After I returned I learned the carrier would unlock for a defined period of time for traveling

Hi! I have an existing installed eSIM on my phone (1 physical SIM and 1 eSIM which are for different local networks where I live) - would it still be possible for me to install another eSIM for travel or can I only have 1 eSIM installed on my device? Thanks!

How does it work regarding cell numbers in a foreign country, for example Im a brit and spend a lot of time in the usa. So what happens when I leave the usa and turn off the usa esim and then revisit 3 months later, will the esim still work if I activate it and will the number I have been first allocated still work or does it give a new number each time you activate it? At present my phone has 2 SIM tray so easy to activate/deactive as required but I might change to a new phone in the future to one without 2 sim trays so a esim MIGHT be an option

So the roaming included in my plan is 8gb in europe, is that enough for a week in ireland? I probably won’t have any wifi

Using a mirror for a QR code on your phone…didn’t think of trying that. Thx.

Q. Is it possible to change my TikTok location with a US eSIM instead of a real US SIM card?

Do I have to purchase this before I fly or can I purchase it after, once I land?

Can you use esim for wifi hotspot for your computer?

Is this in Nepal? That's right near to Swayambhunath, right? Does this work with Ncell?

Hi, when we scan the qr code on computer can we choose when the plan will start ?

Hardheaded I am I use two phones WhatsApp with Wi-Fi will let me use my home phone when I travel but I use my travel phone for street internet and long distance. I use a SIM card in my iPad for street internet also

I have an iphone13 that is locked and though paid off, consumer cellular can't figure out how to unlock it for me. Can I still get an e-sim when visiting India??

Do you find it easier to install an eSIM on an iPhone or an Android? How is Airlo's customer service and how easy it is to troubleshoot or reach out to them if ever we encounter a problem with the eSIM?

Thank much for your video - great info! Quick question: Is there a way to test from home in the US if the esim is properly installed and working? I'm going to Greece in a week and would hate to learn after I landed that I have no internet because something was not done correctly.

Will it work on an Apple Watch cellular also? Or only mobil?

Does your phone have to be unlocked to the carrier (AT&T) for this to work

Bro can i use Esim abroad..? Like i want to use Philippines Esim in Italy... Is it possible to use...? Please reply me

I am going to Colombua, was wandering, can I download esim on an extra Android that does not ha e service. But can I make phone calls with it or maybe call via Wassap Appl? When I went to Europe I bought an Orange sim and was able to make phone calls but not sure with esim . Or maybe use it as a hot spot and use my regular phone for calls? Thanks!

You should do a new video on how this will be useful while using an iPhone 14

I need to get a US number another word that's international and I wanted to know if airalo will work.

This is clutch for travelers W

When does it activate? If you buy a 7 day card does it start when downloaded?

Does Samsung A22 support esim

Does anyone know if this service you can use as Hotspot?

Great presentation. I have an iPhone 13 mini. I have used Airalo app this year on my trip to the US and was very satisfied. But I had no physical sim in that phone. Are you sure I can use both eSim and my original physical sim on that iPhone while abroad? Just to monitor (i.e. not respond to) incoming calls/texts from my home country. thank you

Yes, just saw the prices and are very expensive.

3:59 So it's possible to have 4 esim on one phone ?

Sounds complicated (technical). Plus, what I need, because I am going to Japan, is voice, you know a real telephone? Japan has very strict rules, basically forbidding tourists making calls using anything but the most expensive plans by one company (Mobal). In other words eSIMs don't solve the problems in some strict countries. What I really like to know is whether eSIMS solve the problem of the other country in my travels that is a major headache - India. Geez, the grief of impractical rules there, in this case government rather than corporate. Yes, I know there is a risk of jihadis using cell phones, but at what cost to hobbling the entire telecommunications industry? A policeman must visit the hotel, you have to change SIMS every state. Or was this just in 2017?

Esim will still work if the phone is locked on a certain network?

does someone have an airalo cupom code?

only 28 supported countries and some do not have prepaid 5g plans so consider before buying only esim phones

It's a shame that airalo doesn't use AIS in Thailand.

But you cant sheer Internet with e sim card? With regular that is possible

Does your phone needs to be unlocked in order for this to work?

Coming 5 days from iphone 14 ( all US models ) announcement of no more sim cards and going ALL esim, this was useful, …. But maybe we need an update. ? This is gonna get costly on top of new iphones being locked into US carrriers… solution please 🙏

Does this not block your phone with the laws in Pakistan about not having registered phones? Tax duty etc?

What about talk and text? The Airalo plans are data only.

eSIMs available in Nepal since September 2022

When there is a 10GB card that you don't see

Does your mobile number change when you use an e-sim

The QR code is a pain if you are travelling without a computer or other device. Has to screen capture the QR code and then send it to a friend’s phone and then scan. Phones need the ability now to scan a QR code without having to use a secondary device.

well i just downloaded the app but they say the S21 does not take Esim's :( boooo

In some ways this change is as inconvenient as anything new. But now, all the carriers will be forced to add esim capability…. Not unlike how removing the phone jack forced the issue of wireless headphones.

Indian Jio Or Airtel Esim Working in Pakistan without roaming ?

Nice but too bad my network don't support. 😤

A regular SIM card gives both data AND talk while eSIM gives you data only. Why?

If one travels a lot to different continents, the e-Sim only phone is NOT the way to go in 2022. Apple put the cart b4 the horse.

*Kudos to this dude he’s fucking expert*

It s very complicated

If you have to go somewhere, there is no better place than the northern areas of Pakistan

I don’t get it huhuuhu
