When using a SmartFly eSIM while traveling, it’s important to know that your data plan is valid only for the duration you selected. Once your plan expires, any unused data will be lost—SmartFly does not support data rollover or carryover between plans.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the limitations of your SmartFly eSIM, how to optimize your data usage, and key tips for managing your balance effectively—so you can stay connected without wasting a megabyte.


Understanding SmartFly eSIM Plan Limits

SmartFly offers two types of data packages:

  • Daily Data Packages: These plans provide a fixed amount of GB per day and expire after the number of purchased days.

  • Unlimited Data Packages: These plans do not limit daily usage but will expire after the total number of days purchased, regardless of how much data was used.

Once your plan expires, the eSIM becomes inactive, and any remaining data is forfeited.


How to Maximize Your SmartFly Plan

To get the most value from your eSIM, follow these smart tips:

  • Activate Only When Needed: Wait until you arrive at your destination before activating your eSIM. If it’s already installed, keep it turned off until you’re ready to use it.

  • Buy the Right Duration: Estimate the number of days you’ll need and purchase accordingly—avoid overbuying to prevent unused data from going to waste.

  • Plan Ahead: Recharge your eSIM the day before it expires or purchase a new one if your plan has already ended.


Managing Your Usage

SmartFly makes it easy to track your usage and manage your plan through the SmartFly app or the SmartFly Dashboard. Monitoring your data helps you avoid surprises and keep your connection running smoothly.

How to Check Data in the SmartFly App:

  1. Open the SmartFly App

  2. Tap My eSIM

  3. Select View Details

  4. You’ll see data usage, activation date, and expiration info.

How to Check Data via the SmartFly Dashboard:

How to use an eSIM

Yes, you can use your eSIM as part of a Dual SIM setup, as long as your phone supports this feature. Dual SIM functionality allows you to have both a physical SIM and an eSIM active simultaneously. However, not all Dual SIM phones are compatible with eSIM, so it’s essential to check your device’s specifications and confirm compatibility with your carrier. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of using eSIM as Dual SIM and share setup tips to help you make the most of this convenient feature.

Benefits of Using Dual SIM with eSIM

Using an eSIM as part of a Dual SIM setup provides several advantages, particularly for frequent travelers:

  • Keep your local number active while using an international plan on your eSIM.

  • Manage two numbers on one device, eliminating the need for carrying multiple phones.

  • Switch easily between carriers, which is ideal for accessing better rates or avoiding roaming charges.

Important Considerations

  • Device Compatibility: Ensure that your phone supports Dual SIM with eSIM. Not all devices with Dual SIM capability support eSIM.

  • Manual SIM Assignment: You can assign each SIM for specific tasks—one for calls and the other for data usage.

  • Network Limitations: Some networks may not support the use of both SIMs simultaneously in all regions. Always check with your carrier.

  • Mobile Data Usage: Only one SIM can use mobile data at a time, so choose which SIM you want to use for data.

  • Separate Management: Plans and top-ups for each SIM must be managed independently, so make sure you stay on top of each account.

  • Roaming Charges: Keeping your primary SIM active while traveling abroad will result in roaming charges from your main carrier.

  • Unlocked Device: Using two carriers requires that your device be unlocked. Make sure your phone is compatible with multiple networks.

Troubleshooting Tips

To avoid roaming charges for data, consider labeling your SIMs for easy identification and use one for calls and the other for data. For example, you could keep your physical SIM for calls and use your eSIM (such as Sxmartfly) for mobile data. Additionally, disable mobile data switching on your device to ensure only Sxmartfly’s data plan is active while traveling.

Using your eSIM as part of a Dual SIM setup offers flexibility and convenience, but it’s important to understand how to manage your SIMs to avoid unexpected charges.

You can use your eSIM multiple times, but it’s important to remember that it can only be active on one device at a time. With Sxmartfly, you have the option to reinstall your eSIM on the same device and extend your plan by adding a Top-Up before it expires. However, you cannot use or activate the same eSIM on two devices simultaneously. If you’re curious about how to reinstall or reactivate your eSIM, we’ve got all the information you need!

Troubleshooting Tips

If you need to reinstall your eSIM, ensure you’re connected to a strong and stable Wi-Fi network to avoid installation errors. It’s also helpful to have your manual codes on hand, as they are typically the most reliable method for reinstallation, though the QR code may also work in some cases.

How to Reinstall Your eSIM?

Reinstalling your eSIM is straightforward on both iPhone and Android devices. Here’s how to do it:

On iPhone:

  1. Go to Settings → Tap Cellular or Mobile Data.

  2. Select Add eSIM.

  3. Choose Use QR Code or enter the details manually.

  4. Scan the QR code or input the activation code.

On Android:

  1. Go to Settings → Tap ConnectionsSIM Manager.

  2. Select Add eSIM.

  • Visit the Sxmartfly website and extend your plan for the same destination.

  • You can add more days to your current plan without needing a new eSIM—just make sure to renew before the existing plan expires.

  • Please note, destination changes require a new eSIM, but you can enjoy your extended plan without additional setup.

By following these simple steps, you can easily continue using your eSIM on your current device, whether you’re reinstalling or reactivating it!

Yes, you can use two eSIMs simultaneously on devices that support dual eSIM, such as the iPhone 13 and newer models. However, while Android devices that support eSIM can store multiple eSIM profiles, only one eSIM can be active at a time. It’s important to check your device’s specifications to confirm its dual eSIM capabilities.

Benefits of Using Multiple eSIMs

Using dual eSIM functionality offers a variety of advantages, especially for those who need flexible connectivity options:

  • Switch between eSIM profiles effortlessly on compatible iPhones, allowing you to manage different networks without changing SIM cards.

  • Enjoy flexible usage: Use one eSIM for calls and texts (personal line) and the other for unlimited data with your Holafly eSIM.

  • Separate personal and business life for a hassle-free communication experience.

  • Travel worry-free: Stay connected anywhere with multiple eSIMs, making international travel easy and cost-effective.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • Data Switching: Turn off the “Allow Cellular Data Switching” option to ensure that you use one eSIM for calls and the other for mobile data.

  • Mobile Data: Only one eSIM can use mobile data at a time.

  • Unlocked device: Your phone must be unlocked to use eSIMs from different carriers simultaneously.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you want to use your Holafly eSIM for data and your personal eSIM for calls, here’s how to set it up on iPhone and Android:

To Set Up Dual eSIM on Your iPhone:

To Set Up Dual eSIM on Your Android Device:

Note that Android devices typically can’t use two eSIMs simultaneously. However, you can combine one eSIM with a physical SIM. Here’s how to set it up for your Holafly eSIM:

  1. Go to Settings > Tap Connections > Select SIM Manager.

  2. Ensure both your personal SIM and eSIM are active.

  3. Choose Calls and confirm your personal SIM is selected for calls.

However, it’s important to note that only one SIM can use data at a time—you will need to switch between the two as needed.

How to Switch Between eSIM and Physical SIM

Switching between your eSIM and physical SIM is simple and can help enhance your mobile experience while traveling. To effectively use your Sxmartfly eSIM for data and your physical SIM for calls, follow these easy steps:

For iOS Devices:

  1. Go to Settings > Tap Cellular or Mobile Data.

  2. Ensure that both your personal SIM and eSIM are active.

  3. Select Default Voice Line and choose your personal SIM for calls.

  4. Return to Cellular or Mobile Data and tap Cellular Data, then select your Sxmartfly eSIM for data.

  5. Locate the Cellular Data Switching option and toggle it off to prevent automatic switching between the two.

For Android Devices:

  1. Go to Settings > Tap Connections > Select SIM Manager.

  2. Ensure both your personal SIM and eSIM are active.

  3. Tap Calls and confirm your personal SIM is selected for calls.

  4. Tap Mobile Data and select your Sxmartfly eSIM for data.

  5. Scroll down and toggle off Data Switching to prevent automatic switching between the SIMs.

To Keep in Mind:

  • Sxmartfly eSIM doesn’t support SMS or traditional phone calls. It only provides data for messaging and calling apps like WhatsApp and Messenger.

  • For traditional phone calls and text messages, you’ll need to configure your original SIM.

  • If your physical SIM is active for data, it could interfere with your Sxmartfly eSIM’s data connection.

  • If you want to use two eSIMs at the same time, ensure your device supports dual eSIM. Only iPhone 13 and later models support dual active eSIMs.

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage both your eSIM and physical SIM for calls and data, keeping you connected seamlessly while traveling!

Connection or qr issues

eSIM is revolutionizing connectivity, offering a hassle-free solution for travelers and users who want to stay connected without physical SIM cards. In this guide, we’ll walk you through easy methods to check if your phone supports eSIM, including simple steps like dialing the *#06# code or reviewing your device’s settings. We’ll also cover top brands like iPhone, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, Motorola, and Google Pixel that support eSIM and provide tips for what to do if your phone isn’t compatible.

How to Check if Your Phone is eSIM Compatible

Checking if your phone supports eSIM is quick and easy. There are two main methods to confirm eSIM compatibility: using your phone’s settings or dialing the *#06# code. These steps apply to most devices, helping you quickly determine whether your phone is eSIM-ready.

1. Check if Your Phone is eSIM Compatible by Dialing *#06#

Dialing *#06# is a universal method to check eSIM compatibility. When you dial this code, your device will display its EID (Embedded Identity Document) number. If the EID shows up, your phone supports eSIM.

2. eSIM Compatibility Check in Settings

Most phones will indicate whether they support eSIM through their settings. The exact steps may vary by device, but here’s how you can check for both iOS and Android phones:

  • For iPhone:

    • Go to Settings > Tap on Cellular or Mobile Data

    • If you see an option to Add eSIM, your iPhone is eSIM compatible.

  • For Android:

    • Go to Settings > Tap on Connections > Select SIM Manager

    • If you see the option to Add eSIM, your Android device supports eSIM.

3. Check the Updated List of eSIM-Compatible Phones

If you want to double-check, you can refer to an updated list of eSIM-compatible phones. Sxmartfly provides a compatibility checker on their website:

  • Visit Sxmartfly.com

  • Scroll down to the “How does Sxmartfly’s eSIM work?” section

  • Click on the “Check Compatibility” link

  • Select your Device Brand and choose Mobile to see the list of compatible phones.

Important Considerations

  • Country of Manufacture: eSIM compatibility can vary by region, so be sure to verify your phone’s eSIM support based on where it was made.

  • Carrier Restrictions: Some carriers lock devices, which may prevent you from using services from other providers. Check with your carrier to ensure your phone is unlocked and able to use eSIM.

What to Do If Your Device Isn’t eSIM Compatible

If you’ve purchased a Sxmartfly eSIM and your phone doesn’t support eSIM, don’t worry. Here are a few options:

  • Use your eSIM on another compatible device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch.

  • Save your eSIM for future use, as it doesn’t expire.

  • Give your eSIM to a friend or family member with a compatible device. eSIMs are transferable and can be used by anyone, regardless of who purchased them.

We understand how frustrating it can be to invest in an eSIM, complete the installation and activation process, and still face connectivity issues. If your mobile data isn’t working on your Android device, you’re not alone! There are several common reasons why your Holafly eSIM might not be functioning properly. In this guide, we’ll explore potential causes and offer easy troubleshooting steps to help you get back online quickly.

Common Reasons Why Your Cellular Data May Not Be Working

If your mobile data is on but still not working, here are a few possible reasons your Holafly eSIM might not be functioning:

  • Your phone may be locked by your carrier.

  • Your eSIM could be deactivated or expired.

  • You may not have reached your destination yet.

  • Your eSIM might not be activated correctly.

  • You may have purchased an eSIM for the wrong destination.

1. Check if Your eSIM Is Activated

Make sure your eSIM is activated correctly. Here’s how to activate your Holafly eSIM on your Android device:

  • Go to Settings > Connections > SIM Manager.

  • Turn off any personal SIMs/eSIMs to avoid additional charges.

  • Turn on your Holafly eSIM.

  • Select your Holafly eSIM in Mobile Data.

  • Then, go back to Connections > Mobile Networks > Turn on Data Roaming for your Holafly eSIM.

2. Toggle Airplane Mode On and Off

If your eSIM isn’t working, toggling Airplane Mode can help resolve minor connectivity glitches:

  • Enable Airplane Mode for 30 seconds.

  • Turn it off and check that your Holafly eSIM and data roaming are active.

  • Test your connection to see if it resolves the issue.

3. Manually Select a Network Operator

Sometimes, your device may not automatically connect to the best available network. To fix this, you can manually select a network operator:

  • Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Operators.

  • Disable the Select automatically option and wait for available operators to load.

  • Try selecting different operators one by one, waiting 30 seconds after each selection to test the signal.

  • Select 4G or LTE, depending on which provides a better signal in your area.

  • Test your connection to see if it improves.

5. Reset Network Settings

  • Go to Settings > Connections > General Management > Reset.

  • Tap Reset Mobile Network Settings > Reset Settings.

With these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and fix your data connection issues on Android. Stay connected and enjoy your travels!

Installing an eSIM on your Android device should be a smooth process, but sometimes errors can occur. Whether it’s a locked device, an active plan, or compatibility issues, understanding common eSIM installation errors is crucial for troubleshooting. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to resolve eSIM errors like a non-working QR code or other issues, ensuring you can use your eSIM without a hassle!

Common eSIM Installation Errors on Android

Here are the most frequent installation errors you may encounter with eSIM on Android and how to fix them:

1. Can’t Add eSIM

This error typically occurs when your Android device is locked to a specific carrier. A locked device only works with the carrier that locked it, so it may prevent the addition of a new eSIM. To check if your device is carrier-locked, follow these steps:

  • Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Operators.

  • Disable Select Automatically and wait for 30 seconds to see a list of available carriers.

  • If you see only your carrier’s name, your phone is locked. If you see multiple carriers, your phone is unlocked and can use eSIM.

If your phone is locked, contact your carrier to request unlocking. Ensure you meet their eligibility requirements and follow their instructions.

2. Your eSIM Isn’t Ready Yet

This error may occur if the eSIM is already installed, if Airplane Mode is enabled, or if you’re trying to reinstall a deleted eSIM. Here’s how to resolve it:

  • Check if the eSIM is already installed: Look for two mobile signal icons on your Android device, which suggests the eSIM is installed but not yet activated.

  • Turn off Airplane Mode.

  • Connect to a stable Wi-Fi network.

  • Perform the manual installation using the provided manual codes.

To check if your eSIM is installed, verify the ICCID:

  • Go to Settings > Connections > SIM Manager > Select the eSIM > Check the ICCID number. Compare it with the “Reference Number” in your purchase email beneath the QR code.

Remember, the eSIM won’t activate until you reach your destination and enable data roaming.

3. Plan Already in Use

If you see the “Plan Already in Use” error, it means the eSIM plan is already active on another device, or you haven’t deactivated it before transferring it to a new device. To fix this:

  • Check the ICCID to see if the eSIM is already installed (as explained above).

  • Delete the eSIM from the previous device and reinstall it on your new device using the manual codes provided.

4. Add Plan to Watch (Wearable Message)

If you’re trying to install an eSIM on a device that’s not compatible (e.g., a wearable), you might see “Add Plan to Watch” instead of the “Add eSIM” option. Make sure your device supports eSIM technology before proceeding with the installation.

5. SIM Card Busy. Try Again Later

This error usually occurs due to network issues or conflicts within the operating system. To resolve this:

  • Connect to a strong and stable Wi-Fi network.

  • Update your Android to the latest available version.

Troubleshooting Tips

If the solutions above don’t work and your Android is unlocked and eSIM-compatible, consider these additional steps:

  • Network Reset: A network reset can resolve connectivity issues. Make sure your Android software is up to date before doing this.

  • Manual Installation: If you’re still having trouble, use the manual installation process with the QR code or manual codes from your purchase confirmation email.

How to Manually Install Your eSIM on Android

To install your eSIM manually:

  1. Use the manual codes sent to you in your purchase confirmation email.

  2. Connect to a strong and stable Wi-Fi network.

  3. Follow the instructions provided in the email for step-by-step installation.

How to Update Your Android Software:

To ensure your Android device is up to date:

  • Go to Settings > Software Update > Download and Install.

  • If an update is available, click Install Now.

Keep in Mind:

  • Holafly provides installation guides for popular Android devices like Samsung, Pixel, Huawei, Xiaomi, Honor, Vivo, Motorola, Nokia, Sony, OnePlus, and Oppo.

  • If your device isn’t compatible, you can either use the eSIM on another compatible device or save it for your next trip.

  • If your device is locked, contact your carrier to unlock it for eSIM use.

Installation errors like “cannot add eSIM,” “cannot activate eSIM,” or “eSIM not compatible” are generally specific to iOS devices, so you’ll typically encounter them with Apple devices.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve common eSIM installation errors on your Android device and get connected without any hassle!

  • Your phone may be locked by your carrier.

  • Your eSIM could be deactivated or expired.

  • You may not have reached your destination yet.

  • Your eSIM might not be activated correctly.

  • You may have purchased an eSIM for the wrong destination.

  • Network settings could be misconfigured.

  • The eSIM’s APN settings might be incorrect.

  • A weak cellular signal could be causing interruptions.

  • Temporary issues with your provider’s network could be affecting your service.

  • Software or hardware glitches on your device might be disrupting the connection.

How to Fix Holafly Data Connection Issues on Android

If your Android device is unlocked, you’ve selected the correct destination, and you’ve updated your software, but your internet still isn’t working, don’t worry! Try these troubleshooting steps:

1. Check if Your eSIM Is Activated

Make sure your eSIM is activated correctly. Here’s how to activate your Holafly eSIM on your Android device:

  • Go to Settings > Connections > SIM Manager.

  • Turn off any personal SIMs/eSIMs to avoid additional charges.

  • Turn on your Holafly eSIM.

  • Select your Holafly eSIM in Mobile Data.

  • Then, go back to Connections > Mobile Networks > Turn on Data Roaming for your Holafly eSIM.

2. Toggle Airplane Mode On and Off

If your eSIM isn’t working, toggling Airplane Mode can help resolve minor connectivity glitches:

  • Enable Airplane Mode for 30 seconds.

  • Turn it off and check that your Holafly eSIM and data roaming are active.

  • Test your connection to see if it resolves the issue.

3. Manually Select a Network Operator

Sometimes, your device may not automatically connect to the best available network. To fix this, you can manually select a network operator:

  • Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Operators.

  • Disable the Select automatically option and wait for available operators to load.

  • Try selecting different operators one by one, waiting 30 seconds after each selection to test the signal.

  • Choose the operator with the best signal for your location.

4. Switch to 4G or LTE

In some areas, 5G may not work well. If your data isn’t working, switching to a more stable 4G or LTE network can help improve your connection:

  • Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Network Mode.

  • Select 4G or LTE, depending on which provides a better signal in your area.

  • Test your connection to see if it improves.

5. Reset Network Settings

If none of the above steps resolve your issue, you can try resetting your network settings. Keep in mind that this will erase all your Wi-Fi passwords and cellular preferences, so be sure to back them up first.

  • Go to Settings > Connections > General Management > Reset.

  • Tap Reset Mobile Network Settings > Reset Settings.

With these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and fix your data connection issues on Android. Stay connected and enjoy your travels!

Upgrading to a new device or just switching phones temporarily? If your eSIM provider allows transfers, moving your eSIM to another phone is straightforward. While Sxmartfly eSIMs are not transferable between devices, this guide is here to help if you’re using a different provider that supports eSIM migration.

Here’s everything you need to know about transferring your eSIM successfully from one phone to another.

  • Ensure your new phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked

  • Make sure you’re connected to a stable Wi-Fi network during the transfer

  • Complete the installation in full to avoid any errors

  • If one setup method fails (QR code or manual), try the other
