When will the validity period of the data plan included in my Ubigi eSIM profile order begin?

Once you scan the QR code to install your eSIM profile, your Ubigi data plan will be ready for use. The validity period automatically begins when you arrive in a covered area, ensuring no days are wasted before your travel.

Note: If you are already in a covered area, activation starts immediately—no action needed.

Great and simple setup
The set up is awesome - simple and straightforward, you get automatic coverage as soon as you land in the country you’re visiting. I did have some issues with Wi-Fi connection but overall it is a great overseas option. No need for swapping over sim-cards etc.

Ubigi works great for internet access - but not for phone
Ubigi works great for internet access, but I could not get the phone to work during my trip abroad. There could be a setting wrong, so my conclusion is: the supporting installation process could be a lot more user friendly.
