FAQ
Will my phone work with an eSIM? Most phones from 2018 onward support eSIM, including recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel and more. Make sure the phone is carrier-unlocked.
When should I install it? Install at home over Wi-Fi, then simply enable the line when you arrive. You won't be charged until it connects in Chile.
