14 TopicsStarting date prepaid plan - eSIM app
Hi everyone, I’m looking to buy a prepaid plan via the eSim app for a six month stay in the US. I would like to purchase the plan ahead of time, so it activates on the arrival date and is ready to use when I land. As far as I can tell there is no way to set a starting date when purchasing the plan and it would be activated straight away. Is this the case or am I missing something? Other providers (like for example simly) provide the option to set an activation date. Otherwise I would have to deal with this upon arrival, when i have other things to do and need a working connection right away. Also i would like to know if there is a plan, which includes a flat for calls to Europe (Germany) or at least reduced international rates? As far as I can tell, there are only plans with flats for US calls only. Thanks for any help, best.546Views0likes5CommentseSim stuck on "Activating" on iPhone from EU
Hello there! My wife is facing problems when activating her eSim for T-Mobile US Prepaid. She already chose a plan, payed, the new phone number was successfully set up but now (since 12h) she’s still in the process of “Activating”. I did the same and after waiting some minutes in the “Activating” process all went fine. What shod we do now? We’re currently located in Germany and will travel to US soon; I’ve activated using WIFI + Vodafone (as local operator), she tried with WIFI + O2-DE (as local operator); I’m not sure if/how cell towers differs to allow mine to succeed and hers to fail. I’ve read here and there that there might be a way to get a QR code to re-initialise the process, but I have no idea how/where to get it. Please let me know, any kind of support is much appreciated, thank you :)3KViews0likes3CommentsRemoving simlock from iphone
Hello, I bought Iphone se 2020 in Europe in Poland from a guy, that said it had a simlock. I think he got it from unknown source. I didn’t know it was T-mobile sprint simlock. Is there a chance, that T-mobile can remove it without problem if phone isn’t blacklisted and I’m not T-mobile client?96Views0likes0CommentsWhat do I need to do when traveling to Europe?
I’m trying to figure out what I need to travel to Europe and be on a cruise. I will need data to map things out, look up restaurants, access emails, send and receive texts. I have the Wi-Fi package on the ship but don’t know how to limit to use that when on ship and what I do when in ports? Airplane mode + a data package?237Views0likes0CommentsNot receiving all short messages SMS verification codes from Europe only some
November 2022 this worked fine and for years I used it. Now I may get one code in a day or two and no more. I talked to support and opened a case ticket. I tried twitter as well and they said its not supposed to work based on CTIA standards. This is strange since it worked fine for years and started to have issues this year. Any help/guidance will be appreciated! Thanks145Views0likes1CommentUsing European eSim with locked phone?
I’ve just pre-ordered one of the new Samsung phones. In order to receive the biggest discounts from T-Mobile I needed to buy it on a 24 month installment plan, so I assume that it will be locked to T-Mobile for that time period. I will be traveling in Europe for ~2 months, and may want to purchase a data only eSim while I’m there instead of relying solely on my T-Mobile international data. Will European eSim work with my locked phone?Solved2.5KViews0likes11CommentsEuropean credit card
Really ? there is no way to pay a prepaid plan on a eSIM with a european credit card visa or amex when you are in Europe before your travel to USA ? toooo bad, that is why eSIM are so interesting. When you fill the form to give your credit card numbers, there is no way to give an adress for the credit card elsewhere than in the US. There is a “other” option at the end of the list of states, but that does not work. Have anybody an idea ?Solved190Views1like3Comments
