The validity period of an e-SIM should be considered when booking your holiday.

  • To make it as easy as possible, the validity period extends for 11 months prior to activation of the e-SIM, so that you do not have to stress about when to install.
  • Activation of the e-SIM means that it is installed on the phone and you have started to use data.
  • The good thing here is that for those installing it in Australia and looking to travel, you can install and do the complicated bit before going away.
  • Data will only start being used when you arrive at your destination.This way you are free to install e-SIMs and they will be there ready for when you travel and automatically start using data.
