No. An eSIM can be installed only once, and it locks to the first device it is installed on. It cannot be moved to another phone, re-scanned, or reinstalled afterward, and it is non-refundable once installed. Please install your eSIM on the device you plan to keep using. If you are switching devices and need help, contact our support team.

This is a common misconception for travelers to the Isle of Man! Despite its close ties to the UK, the Isle of Man is a self-governing Crown Dependency and is not part of the UK or the European Union for mobile roaming purposes. Therefore, standard "Roam Like at Home" benefits from UK carriers like O2, EE, or EU providers do not apply. Your home SIM will incur significant roaming charges. eSIMAdventures offers a far more cost-effective and predictable solution for connectivity on the island.
