When does my EastESIM plan's validity period begin?

Updated April 22, 2026

Your EastESIM plan's validity (whether it's 7 days, 30 days, or another duration) activates only when your eSIM successfully connects to the local mobile network in your destination country.

This is a great benefit! You have the flexibility to purchase and install your eSIM well in advance of your travels—weeks or even months ahead. The validity period will not start counting down until you physically arrive and establish an internet connection.
