Airalo biedt eSIM-pakketten voor meer dan 200 landen en regio's over de hele wereld, elk met een hoeveelheid gegevens die je voor een bepaalde tijd kunt gebruiken. Sommige pakketten zijn inclusief bellen en sms'en, zoals onze Discover+ wereldwijde eSIM's.
De duur dat je je pakket kunt gebruiken wordt de geldigheidsperiode genoemd. Je kunt meer informatie over gegevensgebruik en geldigheidsperioden vinden in onze antwoorden op de volgende veelgestelde vragen.
When does my validity period start?
The validity period of your eSIM package starts when one of the following happens:
- Wanneer je verbinding maakt met een ondersteund netwerk in het dekkingsgebied.
- Wanneer je je eSIM installeert.
For most of Airalo’s eSIM packages, the validity period begins when the eSIM connects to a supported network. Please make sure to check the Activation Policy of your package — this will help you plan when to install your eSIM.
You can check the Activation Policy by doing the following:
- Ga naar Mijn eSIM's > GEGEVENS voor de relevante eSIM.
- Tap or click SHOW MORE.
- Find "ACTIVATION POLICY" — the relevant information will be listed.
How is an eSIM’s data distributed across the validity period?
The data included with your eSIM is for the entire validity period, it is not distributed equally per day.
For example, if you’ve purchased a 1 GB - 7 day eSIM package, you have 1 GB of data to use for the entire 7 day period, not 1 GB of data per day.
Can I use all my data on the first day of validity?
Yes, you can use all your package’s data on the first day, or any day, of your validity period. You can purchase a top-up package for your eSIM if you are concerned about using all of your data before your validity period ends.
If you are using an eSIM package with unlimited data, you will not run out of data during your validity period. You may, however, experience slower connection speeds on days you use more than a specified amount of data. This amount will be specified in the Additional Information for the relevant eSIM.
How can I manage my data usage to avoid running out prematurely?
For most eSIM packages, you can go to My eSIMs in the Airalo app or Airalo’s widgets (iOS only) to track your data usage. You will also receive low data notifications when your eSIM reaches 25% and 10% data remaining.
To avoid using too much data, you may want to consider avoiding activities or apps that consume high amounts of data.
What happens if I run out of data before the end of the validity period?
If you run out of data before the end of the validity period, you can purchase a top-up package. To do so, go to My eSIMs > TOP UP for the relevant eSIM.
Can I extend the validity period of my data package?
No, it is not possible to extend the validity period of your data package.
