eSIM from airalo

[Chris91]

I am travelling to the uk and purchased an eSIM from airalo.   I downloaded it and installed it and seemed good.  Then 30 min later it said it could not be activated.  No number shows.  I am still in Vancouver.  Is that the problem?  I am not on a UK network?  I am travelling with 35 students and do not want to wait till I get over there to find out it isn’t working.  Any thoughts or suggestions?

[thx]

On a few group tours that I have been on in the recent past, all participants were added to a 'What's App' group chat.  It was found to be much easier to advise and co-ordinate everyone on the tour.  ( the phrase 'herding cats' comes to mind however.)

This does require a data plan such as Airelo offers.

Additionally, I added some long distance funds to my Fongo account and used that for phone contact on my travels.

Thank you.  It is a voice and text eSIM but I still think you are correct and need to wait till I am over there.  Thanks so much

HI @Chris91 

normal., cos you are not in UK yet.   No number shows as that is a data only sim, no voice

disable Airalo for now.  Only enable it when you are in UK (disable your PM esim , but do not delete)
