Q: How does eSIM work?

A: eSIM functions as a virtual SIM card. Once installed, it can be used for internet access or calls if supported.  Customers must ensure devices are network‑unlocked and eSIM‑compatible.


Q: Does eSIM require shipping?

A: No. eSIMs are installed using a QR code sent to your Shopee account immediately after a successful purchase.


Q: Can eSIM be used immediately after installation? How long does it take?

A: eSIMs can be installed and used right after purchase if you're already in a supported destination or country. It's recommended to activate the eSIM within two hours of your flight (the validity starts from activation).


Q: Can I install another Gohub eSIM if I already use a personal eSIM?

A: The number of eSIMs you can install depends on your device. Even if you install two eSIMs, only one can be active at a time.
