How Long Does an eSIM Last?

1. What determines the duration of an eSIM? An eSIM’s lifespan is generally determined by the carrier or service provider and the type of plan you have. If you're using an eSIM for temporary travel, such as with eSIMlii's travel plans, it will last for the duration of your selected plan. Some plans may last from a few days to several months, depending on your chosen package. For long-term plans, such as those for domestic use, an eSIM can last as long as the plan is active or until you decide to switch or deactivate it.
2. Can an eSIM be used indefinitely? An eSIM itself doesn’t have a set expiration date. However, its functionality depends on the activation and management of the service plan associated with it. Once you no longer need the plan or service, you can deactivate or change your eSIM, and it can be reused with a different carrier or plan. For example, if you’ve finished your travel package with eSIMlii, you can remove it or transfer to a different service without needing a new physical SIM card.
3. Can I extend or renew my eSIM? Yes! Many eSIM providers, including eSIMlii, offer the option to renew or extend your eSIM plan. This is particularly helpful for travelers who wish to extend their stay or if you are on a long-term data plan and want to add more data. You can manage your eSIM plan through the provider's app or website and adjust the duration or data amount according to your needs.
