I am about to travel. How should I manage my eSIM profile before departure?

We recommend purchasing your Ubigi data plan the day before or a few hours prior to your departure to ensure you have internet access as soon as you arrive at your destination.

Note: If you purchased a preloaded eSIM ubigi.com, we advise you to install it the day before or a few hours before departure, while you still have an active internet connection (e.g., Wi-Fi or your local SIM card’s data connection).

If you are traveling by plane
Just before activating airplane mode on your device, please follow these steps:
– Install your Ubigi eSIM.
– Turn off data roaming on your primary line.
– Activate airplane mode.
When you arrive at your destination, disable airplane mode and make sure your Ubigi line is selected for cellular data.

If you are crossing a land border
Before entering your destination country, follow the same steps described above to ensure quick and easy access to your Ubigi connectivity.
