Frequently Asked Questions about India
Quickly find answers to common questions about eSIM usage in India
How do I install my eSIM for India?
Installing an eSIM is done by scanning a QR code in your smartphone's cellular settings. Even easier: Use the quick installation buttons for iPhone or Android in your order confirmation – one click opens the right guide for your device.
When does my data plan activate in India?
Activation of the eSIM data plan occurs automatically upon first connection to the local mobile network in India. The validity period begins only at this moment of first data usage, not at the time of purchase.
Will my main SIM still work in India?
Yes, your main SIM remains active alongside the eSIM. This allows you to use your regular phone number for calls while the eSIM handles mobile data. This effectively avoids roaming fees.

Can I use hotspot/tethering in India?
Yes, hotspot sharing is generally possible in India. Requirements: Your device supports the function and the local network allows tethering.
Does my smartphone support eSIM in India?
eSIM compatibility depends on the device, not the country. Check under Settings → Cellular if the option "Add eSIM" is available. Alternatively: dial *#06# – if an EID is displayed, your device supports eSIM.
How long is my eSIM valid for India?
Validity depends on the plan you chose (7, 15, or 30 days). The period starts with first data usage in India, not from the purchase date.
Can I transfer my eSIM to a new device?
No. For security reasons, an activated eSIM cannot be transferred to another device.
How do I delete my eSIM after traveling to India?
iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Cellular Plans → select plan → Remove. Google Pixel: Settings → Network & Internet → Mobile network → select plan → Remove. Samsung: Settings → Connections → SIM manager → select plan → Remove. Important: Only delete if no data is left.
What speed will I get in India?
Mobile data speed in India typically reaches 4G/LTE or 5G standards, depending on local network coverage. Urban areas usually offer very fast connections, while rural regions utilize 4G. sim.do automatically selects the best available network.
Do I need to check APN settings in India?
In rare cases, manual APN configuration may be required. Click the blue button in your order confirmation email – there you will find all settings and instructions for your device.
Are there restrictions for foreign devices in India?
Devices without local Indian certification (non-Indian model) may have restrictions on eSIM data connections. However, most international smartphones work without problems.
