Question 2

Can I use WhatsApp with a Figabytes eSIM in the US?

Consider your typical daily usage to choose the best option.

Question 4

When should I activate my Figabytes eSIM for the US?

Accepted Answer

It's best to install your eSIM before you travel, then activate it just before or upon your arrival in the United States. This ensures your plan's validity period starts when you need it most. Ensure data roaming is off for your physical SIM to avoid unexpected charges.

Question 5

Will my Figabytes eSIM provide 5G or 4G LTE in the United States?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Figabytes eSIMs for the United States utilize local partner networks that offer extensive 4G LTE and 5G connectivity. Availability will depend on your device's capabilities and your specific location within the US.

Question 6

Can I top up my Figabytes eSIM data plan if I run out?

Question 7

How does dual SIM work with an eSIM in the US?

Accepted Answer

With dual SIM, you can keep your home physical SIM active for calls and texts (disabling its data roaming) while using the Figabytes eSIM purely for data. This allows you to maintain your primary number for important contacts while enjoying affordable local data rates.

Question 8

Can I make calls and send SMS with my Figabytes eSIM in the US?

Accepted Answer

Figabytes eSIMs for the United States are data-only. For making calls and sending SMS, you can use internet-based applications like WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Skype, or rely on your home SIM's roaming services if they are enabled.

Question 9

Will I keep my original phone number when using a Figabytes eSIM?

Yes, your original phone number is tied to your physical SIM card. When you use a Figabytes eSIM, it simply provides data connectivity, allowing you to receive calls and texts on your primary number as long as your home SIM is active.

Question 10

What are the benefits of using an eSIM for travel in the US?
