Is it possible to activate the eSIM later, even though it is valid at the installation location?
Hi everyone!
I'm going on a cruise in October and would like to get the Discover eSIM from Airalo, as other plans don't cover all my destinations.
Does anyone know how I can install the eSIM so that it's only activated once we're in the Caribbean?
As far as I know, the SIM is activated as soon as it connects to the destination network. With the Discover eSIM, that would be at the port of departure and in my home country.
However, since I can use EU roaming there, I only need it from day 9 of the trip.
A plan for the entire trip is too expensive for me if I only need it for 5 days.
So, does anyone know if I can install the SIM before departure and activate it later?
Or should I wait to install it until we have Wi-Fi at the port we want to visit?
Thanks!
Edit: We will have between Europe and the Carribean 6 days on sea. I think we will purchase at one of these days a wifi package. Maybe i should install the esim at that day🧐
