With summer vacation here, the peak season for cross-border travel has arrived. Overseas students are busy returning home to visit relatives and have gatherings, while many domestic families are also planning trips abroad.

Compared to previous years when activating roaming and buying data SIM cards, this year many people are using the cutting-edge technology of eSIM. No need to insert a SIM card, no need to queue, and you have internet access as soon as you land—it's so convenient!

However, we've also received many messages from users saying they can't install it, can't connect, or don't understand the plans... eSIM is convenient, but using it can be a bit confusing. Don't worry, we'll explain it all to you today!


Q1: How do I determine if my phone supports eSIM? 

A: Dial "*#06#" to quickly check. If an EID is displayed in the pop-up window, the phone supports eSIM; if only IMEI or MEID appears, the phone does not support eSIM.

Q2: How long does it take for an eSIM to take effect after activation? 

A: An eSIM is a virtual SIM card. Once activated successfully, it usually takes effect within a few minutes. If it takes longer, try restarting your phone, or toggling airplane mode and then searching for networks again.


Q3: No response when scanning the QR code? Installation failed? 

A: QR codes are usually one-time use and expire after scanning. Please note the following during installation: 

① Do not exit the screen during the eSIM activation process to avoid the phone misinterpreting and deleting the eSIM plan; 

② Ensure a stable network connection during the addition process to prevent phone crashes or inability to recognize the plan, which could lead to eSIM plan deletion failure; 

③ If the phone continuously displays "Enabled" after adding the eSIM plan, please turn off other data plans on your phone first. Change it back after the new plan is activated. Do not manually delete or change it.

If the QR code is invalid or the eSIM plan is mistakenly deleted, you can contact customer service with your order to obtain a new QR code.

Q4: Will there be any additional charges during eSIM use?

A: No additional roaming fees will be incurred; all fees are included in the plan.


Q5: Do I need to reinstall eSIM in each country when traveling internationally? 

A: If your trip involves multiple countries, we recommend purchasing a regional bundled plan. A single purchase allows for automatic network switching across countries, saving you the hassle of frequent QR code activation.


Q6: In which countries can I use it? 

A: Talk2all eSIM currently covers all of Europe, most popular destinations in Asia, Australia, Africa, the Americas, and over 200 other countries and regions worldwide.
