Can I buy a plan in advance of my trip?
Last updated October 14, 2026
Yes. You can book a plan up to 365 days before you travel. Your eSIM is delivered to your email ahead of your trip and is ready to set up before you fly.
Book well ahead
Booking is open up to a year before you travel, for everyone.
Delivery ahead of your trip
For a booking far in advance, we deliver your eSIM closer to your travel date, so it's fresh and well within its window. For a near-term purchase, it's delivered straight away. Either way, set it up before you fly.
When your plan starts
Your plan starts when your phone first connects to a local network in your destination. If you haven't connected, it starts automatically 30 days after your eSIM is issued. We email you about 3 days before that automatic start.
The plan duration
Once your plan starts, the duration clock runs — a 30-day plan runs for 30 days from that moment, or until the data is used up, whichever comes first. If your plans change before your eSIM is delivered, it's fully refundable. After delivery, the standard refund rules apply: refundable within 21 days of issue, as long as it hasn't activated.
