5 Smart Tips for Installing & Using Your FlexySim Travel eSim
You’ve booked your flights, packed your bags, and now it’s time to get your phone ready for your next travel adventure.
Here’s how to make sure your FlexySim travel eSIM is set up perfectly—so you can hit the ground scrolling, posting, and navigating like a local.
1. Install your eSim before you fly
Airports and airplane Wi-Fi can be unpredictable. Do yourself a favour and install your FlexySim while you’re still on good Wi-Fi (at home or your hotel).
Once you land, your phone will automatically connect—no stress, no queues, no fiddling with plastic SIM cards.
Bonus: If you ever need help, the FlexySim support team are always a tap away.
2. Turn off your physical SIM’s data roaming
Keep your home Sim active for calls or texts if you want—but turn off data roaming on it.
That way, your phone only uses your FlexySim data, not your home provider’s data - this will avoid those data roaming charges .
→ Settings → Mobile Data → Data Roaming → Off
3. Give your FlexySim a fun nickname
Travelling through multiple countries or juggling different plans?
Rename your eSim in your phone settings—something like “Flexy Asia” or “Euro Trip”.
You’ll always know which plan to switch to when you’re on the move.
4. Track your data with your FlexySim Short Link
Every FlexySim eSim comes with your own Short Link (you’ll see it in your order email or Shopify account).
Tap it anytime to check your remaining data, expiry date, and top up instantly when you’re running low.
No app needed—just your link !
5. Signal drop? Quick fix checklist
If you’ve just landed and your connection hasn’t kicked in yet:
-
Turn Airplane Mode ON → OFF
-
Go to Settings → Mobile Network → Select Network → pick a local one manually
-
Still stuck? Give your phone a quick restart—it solves 90% of issues!
