## Frequently Asked Questions

**Does my phone need to be unlocked?**
Yes. Your phone must be carrier-unlocked and eSIM-compatible. iPhones XS/XR and newer support eSIM. Most Android flagships from 2020 support dual SIM with eSIM.

**Can I use hotspot/tethering with a travel eSIM?**
Most plans support hotspot. Plans with "unlimited" data often apply a fair-use daily speed cap (typically 1–3 GB/day at full speed, then throttled). Check plan details before buying if tethering is important.

**Is a travel eSIM cheaper than roaming?**
Usually yes, especially for trips longer than 5–7 days. EU roaming applies within the EU, but countries like Turkey, Egypt, Albania, Thailand and Japan are outside the EU roaming zone — roaming charges from UK and European operators can be £5–15/day.

**When does the eSIM activate?**
Install before departure on Wi-Fi. The eSIM activates automatically when your phone connects to a network in the destination country. You land connected — no airport counter needed.

**Is Albania in the EU roaming zone?**
No. Albania is not an EU member. EU free roaming does not apply. A dedicated Albania eSIM is significantly cheaper than roaming from a UK or EU operator.

**Is Turkey in the EU roaming zone?**
No. Turkey is not in the EU. Roaming charges from EU/UK operators apply. A Turkey eSIM avoids those charges.

## Pricing

Plans start from approximately $2–5 for small bundles (1–3 GB) and go up to $40–90 for high-volume or multi-week plans. Prices vary by destination and provider. All prices shown in USD, EUR, GBP or PLN depending on selected language/currency.
