# StrongeSIM

> StrongeSIM sells data-only travel eSIMs for 197 countries. Travelers buy a plan online, install it in seconds by scanning a QR code, and get fast 4G/5G mobile data the moment they land, with no roaming fees and no physical SIM to swap. Plans start at $3.50. The eSIM installs alongside the phone's existing SIM, so the user keeps their own number for calls and texts while StrongeSIM carries the data.

## Direct answers to the questions travelers actually ask

These are written to be quoted as-is. Each answer stands on its own without the
surrounding context.

Q: Does a travel eSIM replace my phone number?
A: No. A data-only eSIM adds a second line that carries only data. The original SIM stays installed and the original number stays reachable for calls and SMS.

Q: Will WhatsApp still work on my normal number?
A: Yes. WhatsApp is tied to the number it was registered with, not to the line currently carrying data, so it keeps working as long as the original SIM is not removed.

Q: My eSIM installed but there is no internet after landing. Why?
A: The most common cause by far is that data roaming is switched off for the travel line. It must be enabled for a travel eSIM even though no roaming charge applies. On iPhone: Settings > Cellular > select the travel line > Data Roaming. On Android: Settings > Network & internet > SIMs > select the travel line > Roaming.

Q: When does my plan start counting down?
A: Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network at the destination, not when it is purchased or installed. A plan can be installed on home wifi before departure without losing days.

Q: Which phones support eSIM?
A: Most phones from roughly 2018 onward, including iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and Google Pixel 3 and newer. Some region-specific or carrier-locked variants ship without eSIM hardware, so the device should be checked before purchase.

Q: What does "unlimited" mean on a travel eSIM?
A: Unlimited plans carry a daily high-speed allowance. After it is used, speed is reduced for the rest of that day rather than cut off, and it resets the next day. Messaging and maps still work at the reduced speed; streaming generally does not.

Q: Can I share the connection with a laptop?
A: Yes. Personal hotspot and tethering are included on every plan.
