Can I activate my eSIM while using in-flight Wi-Fi?

Last updated: September 29, 2025

It depends on your device:

  • iPhone: Yes. You can download and activate your eSIM using in-flight Wi-Fi, as long as the connection is stable.

  • Android: No. Android devices require a stronger Wi-Fi connection to complete activation, so you’ll need to wait until you’re on the ground.

Tip
If you’re traveling with an Android phone, download your eSIM before you board or plan to activate it once you land and have access to a reliable Wi-Fi network.
