When does the validity period for my Ecuador Abroad eSIM plan begin?

The validity period for your Ecuador Abroad eSIM plan kicks off the moment it first connects to a local mobile network in Ecuador. This means you have the flexibility to purchase and install your eSIM well in advance of your trip. Whether you're flying into Quito or arriving by boat in the Galapagos, your data plan will only start counting down once you've landed and your phone registers with a local carrier like Claro or Movistar. This ensures you get the full value of your plan from the very start of your adventure.
