What do I need before I travel?

A two-minute checklist so you land online with no surprises.

Before you leave home

  • ✅ Confirm your phone is eSIM-capable and unlocked (check here).
  • Buy your plan for the right destination (destinations).
  • Install the eSIM on Wi-Fi (it activates when you arrive).
  • ✅ Set the eSIM as your data line and label it clearly.
  • ✅ Turn off roaming on your home line so it can't run up charges.

When you arrive

  • Turn on Data Roaming for the beamSIM line only (it's a local plan — no roaming fees).
  • Give it a minute to connect to a local network.

That's it — you're online at local speeds.
