10. Does an Edge G eSIM include phone calls or SMS?
No. Edge G eSIMs are data-only: they include mobile data but no phone number, no regular calls and no SMS. You can call and message over the internet with VoIP apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram or Skype. On dual-SIM phones your home SIM can stay active for calls and texts while the eSIM handles data.
11. How and when do I receive my eSIM?
Delivery is digital and instant: right after checkout you receive an email with your eSIM QR code and installation details. You can also find your eSIMs in your plans. Nothing is shipped.
12. When should I install the eSIM?
We recommend installing it before you travel, while connected to Wi-Fi. When you arrive, select the Edge G eSIM as your mobile data line (data roaming may need to be enabled for that line). Each plan has an activation window shown as “Pre-Activation Days” on the product page.
13. Can I use hotspot / tethering, and can I top up?
Most plans allow hotspot and top-ups. Every product page shows “Hotspot” and “Top Up Available” together with the covered countries, local networks and any speed reduction under Features and Technical Specs.
14. What is the difference between prepaid data plans and unlimited plans?
Prepaid plans give a fixed amount of data for a set number of days (for example 3 GB for 30 days). Unlimited plans are day passes: you choose the number of days, the daily high-speed allowance resets every 24 hours and speed may be reduced after it is used.
15. Which countries do you cover?
Edge G offers eSIMs for 190+ destinations, including single-country plans and multi-country plans for Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, Latin America & the Caribbean, Oceania, the Middle East and global travel. See all eSIM plans.
16. Can I get a refund?
Refunds are possible for eSIMs that have not been installed, within the period described in our refund policy (30 days, or 50% of the plan validity if it is shorter than 30 days; EU customers also have a 14-day cooling-off period). Installed or used eSIMs cannot be refunded. To request a refund, email contact@edge-g.com with your order number.
