Can I keep my primary line on while using PIE VAT eSIM?

Of course. Most eSIM devices support two active lines at the same time. So you can keep your primary line “on” for calls and text while using your PIE VAT eSIM for cellular data.

Please make sure your data roaming on the primary line is not activated to avoid roaming charges.


 

Can I use PIE VAT eSIM for calls or messaging?

PIE VAT eSIM is for cellular data only and does not support calling or SMS. However, you can use your mobile apps that provide calling and texting including FaceTime, WhatsApp, iMessage, Zoom, Skype, etc.

 
 

What payment methods are accepted for PIE VAT eSIM?

We currently accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards. Additional payment methods will be added at a later date.

 
 

When does PIE VAT eSIM expire?

When purchasing PIE VAT eSIM data, you can select a start date from which a 30-day expiration period begins. This means that once the 30-day period has passed, the eSIM data is no longer valid and you will need to purchase additional data.

If you add data to your eSIM before the 30-day expiration period has finished, your new expiration date will be based on the date the new data was added. For example, if you purchase an eSIM and select a start date of October 1st, then the data will expire on October 31st. If you add additional data on October 20th, then the new expiration date will be November 20th.

You can easily add data to any installed eSIM at any time.
