Frequently Asked Questions
Most flagship smartphones released since late 2018 or early 2019 are fully compatible with EastESIM technology, making your travel connectivity seamless. This includes popular models like the iPhone XS and all newer iPhones, Google Pixel 3 and subsequent Pixel models, and the Samsung Galaxy S20 series and its successors. Beyond phones, an increasing number of tablets and smartwatches also support eSIM. The quickest way to confirm compatibility for your specific device is to check its settings under 'Mobile Data' or 'SIM Card Manager,' or consult your device manufacturer's official website.
Almost every flagship smartphone model released since 2019 is equipped with eSIM capability, making it an ideal solution for international travel with EastESIM. This includes a wide range of devices such as the iPhone XS, iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, and iPhone 15 series, as well as the Google Pixel 3, Pixel 4, Pixel 5, Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and Pixel 8 series. Many Samsung Galaxy S20, S21, S22, S23, and S24 models also support eSIM, along with a growing list of mid-range and other brand devices. This widespread compatibility ensures a smooth connection to our Asian networks.
Answer: Yes, in most popular areas! Truly Roaming partners with the best local providers (like Vodacom, Safaricom) to ensure you have connection near main gates, lodges, and campsites in major parks like Kruger, Serengeti, or Masai Mara.
Note: While coverage is generally good at camps, signal strength may fluctuate or drop deep in the wilderness. We recommend downloading offline maps before heading out for the day.
Answer: It works automatically and seamlessly. With our Africa Regional Plan, you don't need to change any settings when moving between the 29 covered countries (e.g., crossing from South Africa to Zimbabwe or Kenya to Tanzania).
How it works: Simply keep "Data Roaming" ON for your Truly Roaming line. Your phone will detect the border crossing and automatically connect to the new local partner network (like Vodacom, MTN, or Airtel) within minutes.
Answer: You can install your eSIM anytime before your trip (at home or at the airport). However, the validity of your plan (e.g., 30 days) only begins when you land in Africa and connect to a local network.
Recommendation: Install it before you fly to be ready, but only turn on "Data Roaming" once you arrive in one of the 29 covered countries.
Answer: Yes, absolutely. Your Truly Roaming eSIM provides data only, so it does not change your WhatsApp number. You can keep all your chats, groups, and contacts.
Important: If WhatsApp asks you "Do you want to update to the new number?", simply select "Keep My Number".
Answer: Yes! This plan supports the Personal Hotspot feature. You can freely share your internet data with your family, friends, or connect your other devices like laptops and tablets.
Answer: Don't worry. You don't need Wi-Fi to top up. You can easily purchase additional data for your existing eSIM via our website before your current plan runs out completely. We recommend checking your usage regularly.
Answer: Truly Roaming Africa plans are "Data Only", meaning they do not come with a local phone number. However, you can make uninterrupted calls to your family, hotel, or guide using apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Skype via the internet.
