Questions about Armenia eSIMs
Is there any signal at the Armenian monasteries?
Do not count on it.
The coverage list on this page names Armenia and no hilltop or gorge within it, so have the route, the opening time and the way back saved before you set off in the morning.
What should be on the phone before an early start?
The drive, the light times and a number for whoever is taking you.
All three are a nuisance to dig out in the dark with cold hands, and a plan of your own is only half the fix if nothing was saved.
Can I back up photographs from Armenia as I travel?
You can, and it will take more of the plan than anything else you do with it.
Upload overnight on a connection you are not paying for, and keep the plan itself for maps and messages.
Is one plan enough for a trip all over Armenia?
There is one country on the coverage list and the plan answers for it, with nothing to change as you move about.
A week of early starts in different directions draws on the same data.
Is a saved map worth the trouble before leaving Yerevan?
Always worth the few minutes it costs.
A saved map holds the road, while the plan handles what a map cannot: the message to say you are late, and the call when a track turns out to be shut.
Questions about every Ryvo plan
Will it work on my phone?
Does it come with a phone number?
No.
Ryvo eSIMs are data only.
There's no phone number, and you can't make calls or send texts on the eSIM itself.
Can I keep my usual number?
Yes.
Keep your main SIM on for calls and texts, and set the eSIM as your mobile data line.
Your carrier's roaming rates still apply to calls and texts, so check them before you go.
Can I share my data as a hotspot?
It depends on the plan.
Each plan says whether hotspot is allowed before you pay.
What if I run out of data?
Add data from your order page if your plan can be topped up.
If it can't, buy another plan for the same destination.
What if my eSIM won't connect?
Email us and we'll work through it with you, starting with your phone's mobile data settings.
If we can't get it working, our refund policy explains what happens next.
Before you go
Armenia and the network carrying your plan are both named on the coverage list on this page.
That list answers for the country rather than any corner of it, so a gorge, a hilltop and the road up to one are all unpromised.
Scout the spot the evening before, while you still have something to lean on.
A start before sunrise is the worst possible time to be loading a map in the dark.
Pictures go up quicker than anyone expects.
Send the few you want seen now and hold the rest back, so the plan is not spent in the first few days of the trip.
Keep your usual SIM switched on for calls and texts, and choose the eSIM for mobile data.
