Questions about World eSIMs
Do I need a new eSIM in each country?
No.
You install the World eSIM once and it works in every country on the list.
Your data and days carry across borders.
Is World cheaper than local plans?
Not always.
It depends on how many countries you visit.
Tick your countries in the comparison on this page to see which costs less.
Will it work on a cruise ship?
In port and close to shore, where a land network still reaches.
Out at sea there is nothing to connect to, so the ship sells its own satellite internet instead.
Does a layover country need to be on the coverage list?
To use data there, yes.
Check the list for the airports you change at as well as the places you are sleeping.
Can I use it on the plane?
No.
Mobile networks do not reach a cruising aircraft, and the airline's own Wi-Fi is a separate purchase.
Download maps and boarding passes before you take off.
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
Your data and your days carry across borders, so a plan bought for the first country keeps working in the next one on the list.
At sea and in the air there is no mobile network to find.
Ship and aircraft internet is a separate thing you buy on board.
Long layovers are worth checking.
If the airport's country is on the list you can use that time online, and if it is not you are back on airport Wi-Fi.
Keep your usual SIM switched on for calls and texts, and choose the eSIM for mobile data.
