Esim for iphone 15

[hiroshi_ben]

Hi all, is it true that i really have to print out hardcopy for the qr code for esim and i can only scan it when i arrive in the destination of the country only when i get wifi?
Is it possible to scan the qr code in Singapore 1 day before first? And then activate it when i reach my destination countries? Because some places im worry wont have wifi when i arrive.
And also I do not have a spare phone to store the qr code and most of the time i am travelling alone.

SInce you do not have spare device then yes, have to print and make sure to test scan working first.
And yes, need Wifi to activate the eSIM. Some requires activating after reaching destination country while some allow prior to reaching and activates after.
Best to check w provider for clarity. What eSIM are you getting/gotten though so its easier to advise.

eSim like Airalo and Ubigi can be set up one day before you fly. They will only be activated when they are connected to your destination network.

SIMBA can setup from overseas + activate.

Airalo is it reliable? I saw the currency online is in USD, seems like is a company based in US.

Where are you going though, SIMBA should be convenient and good enough for most places in SEA/EA.

Yes, decent but most of them charge in USD, damn chor.

eSIM IIRC not able to read from device photo album, need to "scan" physically.

ehh, you need to sign up eSIM w them for SuperRoam 50GB (30 Days/90 Days) since you need it in the next few months.
My experiences using SIMBA for these countries was great, reliable and quick enough for usage.

Oh well, I would have thought having 2 devices (i.e. personal & work) minimally is common nowadays. hahahah

Sorry, just to check. The esim superroam 50GB is only 10GB of data a month in countries other than malaysia right? I dont see any option with more than 10GB of data or unlimited data overseas (thailand/taiwan etc)

Yes I bought Korea eSIM Red, cause they give 010 number that can be used for restaurant reservation. The sky sim give 012 that cannot be used for that function. Will be activating it later before I fly!
