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.

It's a common misunderstanding that Switzerland, being in Europe, offers free roaming like EU countries. However, Switzerland is not an EU member, so the 'Roam Like at Home' policy does not apply. If you're using an EU, UK, or US SIM from carriers like Vodafone, O2, T-Mobile, or AT&T, you'll likely incur substantial international roaming charges. eSIMAdventures provides a dedicated, cost-effective solution for reliable connectivity across Switzerland, ensuring you can navigate alpine trails or share stunning mountain vistas without bill shock.

Yes, prepare to be amazed by Switzerland's mountain connectivity! eSIMAdventures utilizes premium networks like Swisscom and Sunrise, renowned for having some of the best mountain coverage globally.

This means you can track your hikes, share real-time updates from stunning viewpoints, and access essential information even amidst the majestic peaks of the Alps.

This specific eSIMAdventures plan is tailored exclusively for connectivity within Switzerland.
