Confirm device compatibility
Ensure your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked before purchasing; many devices bought in China/HK lack eSIM support.
Install when ready to use
Activation starts when the eSIM is installed, so wait until you arrive or are ready to begin your plan to avoid wasting validity time.
Use a power bank for longer days
Relying on maps and hotspot increases battery drain—carry an external battery for full-day excursions.
