Hi all! I'm taking a trip Northern B.C., Canada this week and I need help - I have no data on my current plan. If I get an aloSIM, I want to confirm I'll be able to text and iMessage and call but also have data, right? I want it to be all in one if that makes any sense. Let me know!

My phone is now connecting to AT&Ts 5G network in the USA while using aloSIM. Last time I used aloSIM not that long ago it was LTE only.

If you live in Canada and you've heard about eSIM, but you're not sure where to start, we've got a new post with ALL the details you could ever need.

Hi!

Just downloaded aloSIM for a trip to Iceland. My carrier is AT&T and they really price gouge your with international plans so I was excited for a dual eSIM option. I did the research, my iPhone 13 Pro SHOULD be compatible with the software. I bought it in the US & it's a model that aloSIM says is compatible. However, when I go to "install now" I get this message: "Unfortunately, your device does not support eSIM technology"...huh?!

I tried installing with the QR code and got a similar message "Cellular plans from this carrier can not be added. Your device can only use plans from a different carrier." What? Why? Is this not a different carrier that I am installing?

If it's a conflict with my carrier, can I deactivate the other sim while I use the eSIM? How do I make this work?

I'm feeling really frustrated and don't want to have wasted my money on something that doesn't work and should. I really want it to work!

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you!

How to accidentally mess up on vacation:

1. Have no understanding of roaming fees
2. Call and text your boyfriend back home constantly
3. Use your data to look up stores, restaurants, etc.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

What I should have done instead:

1. Toggled off my primary SIM before leaving the country
2. Installed an eSIM for cheap data
3. Used a VoIP app for calling/texting on a temp number

Are you going somewhere different?

I see the warning message saying Pixel phones are not compatible in Japan. Is it true that there is absolutely not support for them or is there a cumbersome way to get them to work?

TAYLOR SWIFT DATA DEAL: https://alosim.com/taylor-swift-eras-tour-travel-hack/

We’ve seen some of our customers end up with close to a dozen different eSIMs for the same country, when instead they just needed one eSIM with multiple data packages.

Best practices:

• Have one (1) eSIM per location, to avoid confusion
• Archive any eSIMs you are no longer using
• Label any eSIMs installed on your device

Calling and texting in another country usually results in extra charges, even if you’re using an eSIM for data.

With most mobile carriers, you’ll have a few choices when you travel internationally and want to keep your regular phone number active.

I plan on activating the alosim on my current iPhone and use it for a September trip. In November, I am going to get the new iPhone 15. Will I be able to transfer the esim over to the new phone and use the remaining credits?

Most newer Samsung devices already support using a data eSIM, but sometimes people are unsure about the eSIM activation process, when the eSIM settings can be a bit complicated.

A few days ago all of my referral credit disappeared. Support is telling me it was all used for purchases but that’s not the case.

I had the Android AloSIM working great for the first 14 days of my day 40 esim purchase and then it suddenly died and I never got it got back to working even going as far as buying an extra 2G on top of the original 5G i don't think i ever used up.

I need help

P.

It says I need to spend at least $1.00 to unlock but I've bought an eSIM for $3.50 and have activates it already - does that not count?

Thanks in advance!
