We recommend installing your GigSky eSIM one day before your trip or on the day you travel, while you still have a strong internet connection.
Setting it up before you leave means you won't need to install your eSIM when you arrive.
Once you reach your destination, your GigSky eSIM will automatically connect to the best available local network, so you can start using mobile data as soon as you arrive.
When does my plan start?
For most plans, your plan starts when your device first connects to a supported network in a location covered by your plan.
However, some plans may start as soon as the eSIM is installed if your current location is already covered by the plan. This can apply to:
Regional plans
Global plans
Cruise plans
Want to avoid starting your plan early?
If you install your eSIM before your trip, keep the GigSky eSIM turned off until you're ready to use it.
Once you arrive at your destination, turn on the GigSky eSIM to start using your plan.
