QR arrived a minute after payment. Installed at home over Wi-Fi, data switched on automatically at the arrival airport.
Smooth checkout, QR in about two minutes. Not a single dropout during the trip.
Third purchase here. Pay, scan, go — still works every time.
Couldn't find the QR setting on my Samsung at first. Support replied quickly and walked me through it.
First time using an eSIM — the email guide got me set up in three minutes.
My main SIM stayed in place, bank SMS kept coming while data went through the eSIM. Handy.
