What is the disadvantage of an eSIM?

Updated over a month ago
  1. Device Support Isn’t Universal
    • Older phones often lack eSIM capability, check compatibility first.

  2. Moving eSIMs Costs a Small Fee
    • To transfer an active ORA eSIM to a new phone, you need a Replacement Card for a very minimal charge, no simple SIM-swap.

  3. One Data Line at a Time
    • You can store multiple profiles, but only one can use data at once, so switching takes a few taps in settings.

  4. Setup & Recovery Can Be Tricky
    • Initial manual installs or lost devices require internet access and support to reinstall profiles.

Despite these, many travelers find ORA’s seamless global data and instant top-ups worth it. If you hit any snags, our support team is here to help: [email protected]. 😊
