Questions about Mongolia eSIMs
Will my plan work out past the last town?
Expect long stretches with nothing.
The coverage list on this page answers for Mongolia and for no particular camp, river or pass, and a vehicle out there is further from a town than most places you have driven.
Is there anything to connect to at a camp?
Assume not and plan around it.
Whatever you need to read or send belongs on the phone before you arrive, and anybody waiting on word from you should know when to expect it rather than when to worry.
Does one plan last a whole overland trip?
That turns on the days rather than the distance, and the days are printed on every plan above.
Pick a length that outlasts the trip, because sorting a second one from a track is harder than choosing properly at home.
What drains a plan on a trip like this?
Pictures sending themselves to a cloud while you sleep.
A week of driving produces a great many of them, so turn the backup off until you are somewhere you are happy to use.
How should I arrange a check in with people at home?
Give them a window rather than a time, and tell them what quiet means before you go.
A message that does not arrive out there is usually a hill in the way, and somebody who knows that will not panic over it.
Do I still need the plan for the days in the city?
That is where most of the data goes.
Booking the vehicle, paying for things, finding a meal and sorting the flight home all happen on a screen, and doing it on your own plan beats hunting for a password.
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
The coverage list on this page names Mongolia and the network your plan runs on, and it stops at the country.
A day of driving with nothing on either side is the ground rather than the plan, so expect less of it the further out you are.
Agree the next meeting point and the next check in before you leave the last place with a connection.
A plan that exists only in somebody's head is no plan at all out there.
Carry a way to charge from the vehicle, and keep the handset off between stops.
Every map, every number and everything you want to read should be on the phone before the road turns to track.
Keep your usual SIM switched on for calls and texts, and choose the eSIM for mobile data.
