Does an eSIM work without internet?

Updated over 2 months ago

An eSIM only needs internet during installation.

🌐📲Once installed, it connects to the cellular network for data, so you don’t need Wi-Fi or another data source to browse, stream, or use your roaming data.

Keep in mind:

  • Voice & SMS: Only available if your specific ORA plan includes calling or texting. Many plans are data-only, so check your plan details before relying on calls or messages.

  • Reinstallation via Replacement Card: You’ll need some connection (Wi-Fi or any data) to fetch the new QR code.

  • Managing or Topping Up: You can top up or manage your plan in the ORA dashboard using the eSIM’s own data connection, no separate internet is required. 😊
