You can install your eSIM right after purchase as long as you have an internet connection. In most cases, installing early does not start the plan validity, but you should always check the activation policy in your plan details.

You can install your eSIM as soon as you purchase it, as long as you have a stable internet connection. In most cases, installing early does not start the validity period.
The Activation Policy in the plan details tells you when validity begins:
Install before travel, then enable the eSIM for data when you arrive. This helps avoid roaming charges on your primary SIM.
If you are unsure, contact support and share your plan details so we can confirm the activation policy.
