\n
\n
<\/span>Do I need to have an eSIM from a Czech carrier to use Airalo?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n
No, not at all. Airalo works completely independently of your home plan. You don’t need a Czech eSIM or any other \u2013 just a phone with eSIM technology support.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/span>How do I know if my phone supports eSIM?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n
“`html
\nDial the code *#06# on your phone. If the EID item appears in the displayed information, your phone supports eSIM. It’s also supported by most newer iPhones (from models XR and XS onwards), higher-end Samsung Galaxy models, or Google Pixel.
\n“`<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/span>Can I make calls or send SMS through Airalo?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n
“`html
\nStandard data packages do not support calls or SMS. Use WhatsApp, Messenger, Viber or FaceTime for communication \u2013 everything works over data connection. In some countries, packages with voice minutes are available, but these are exceptions.
\n“`<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/span>Can I share data as a hotspot?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n
“`html
\nYes, Airalo fully supports data sharing via hotspot. You can connect a laptop, tablet, or a friend’s phone. Just keep in mind that with multiple connected devices, data disappears faster.
\n“`<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/span>What happens if I run out of data before the end of my trip?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n
Simply purchase another package directly in the app. You don’t have to delete or reinstall your existing eSIM.<\/p>\n
IMPORTANT: the previous attempt left part in CZECH. Translate ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, NOT A SINGLE Czech word may remain.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/span>Can I transfer an eSIM to another phone?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n
“`html
\nNo. Each eSIM is tied to a specific device and cannot be transferred to another phone after installation. Therefore, think carefully about which device you install it on.
\n“`<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/span>How long does activation take?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n
“`html
\nFor most countries, it’s a matter of minutes. The exception is destinations where the law requires identity verification \u2013 for example, Sri Lanka. In such cases, you upload a photo of your passport and a selfie to the app, and verification can take up to 24 hours. So don’t leave your purchase until the last minute.
