Don't forget Data Roaming
Your Vakansim eSIM uses partner mobile networks while you travel. Data Roaming must be enabled on the Vakansim eSIM for mobile data to work.
Settings → Cellular / Mobile Data → Vakansim → Data Roaming → ON
Enable roaming only for your Vakansim travel eSIM — not for your home SIM unless you need it.
You're ready to connect
Your Vakansim eSIM is installed. When you're ready to use it, select Vakansim for mobile data and make sure Data Roaming is enabled.
Back to VakansimTroubleshooting
Make sure your iPhone or Android device supports eSIM and is not carrier-locked. Update to the latest iOS or Android version, then look under Cellular / Mobile Data (iPhone) or Network & internet → SIMs (Android). Check our device compatibility page if you're unsure.
Confirm that Vakansim is selected for mobile data and that Data Roaming is enabled on the Vakansim eSIM. Your data plan starts when you connect to a supported network at your destination — install before you travel, activate when you arrive.
Open the settings for your Vakansim eSIM specifically (not your primary SIM). On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → [your Vakansim line] → Data Roaming. On Android: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Vakansim → Roaming.
Check that you entered the activation details correctly and that you have a stable internet connection. The QR code or activation code can usually only be used once. If the problem continues, contact our support team.
If you deleted the eSIM from your device, you may not be able to reinstall it with the same code. Do not remove the eSIM after installation. Contact our support team for help.
Keep your home SIM for calls and texts if you like, but select your Vakansim eSIM for mobile data when travelling. You can switch back to your home SIM when you return.
