Pro tip: name it before you need it. A destination label makes multiple travel eSIMs easy to tell apart. On iPhone, open the line → Cellular Plan Label. On Android, open the SIM and look for its name or edit icon.
Keep your home SIM data roaming off and automatic data switching off to avoid using the wrong data plan. Check your plan activation/validity rules before installing. Do not delete an installed eSIM to troubleshoot; contact support first.
