## eSIM for Timor-Leste: common questions

### Will an eSIM work on my phone in Timor-Leste?

Yes, if your phone supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. That includes iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and most recent Samsung Galaxy models. Check the device compatibility page if you are unsure.

### When should I install the eSIM?

Install it before you travel, while you have Wi-Fi. For most plans the validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Timor-Leste, not when you install it. Each plan's details show how long you have to activate it.

### Can I keep my own number and WhatsApp?

Yes. The eSIM is a second line for mobile data only. Your usual SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts, and WhatsApp, iMessage and other apps keep working with your own number.

### What happens if I run out of data?

Plans that support top-ups can be extended from your eSimNest account without installing a new eSIM. Whether a plan can be topped up is shown in its details. Otherwise you can buy a new plan at any time.

### Can I share the connection as a hotspot?

Most plans allow tethering. Plans marked with Hotspot in the list support it; check the plan details before you buy if it matters for your trip.

### How much does an eSIM for Timor-Leste cost?

Plans for Timor-Leste start at $1.56. For a week-long trip with everyday use (about 1 GB a day), the cheapest plan is $36.00: 10 GB for 30 days.

### Is there an unlimited eSIM for Timor-Leste?

No plan with unlimited data is listed for Timor-Leste right now. Fixed allowances go up to 10 GB.

### How long is an eSIM for Timor-Leste valid?

Fixed plans are valid for 7 to 30 days from activation.

### Does the eSIM work on 5G in Timor-Leste?

The plans for Timor-Leste use 4G/LTE networks.

### Can I make calls and send SMS with an eSIM in Timor-Leste?

eSIMs for Timor-Leste are data-only. You can still call and message over the internet with apps such as WhatsApp or FaceTime.

### Is a regional plan cheaper than a Timor-Leste plan?

Regional plans that include Timor-Leste cost a typical $3.39 per GB, against $4.67 for plans made for Timor-Leste. A regional plan makes sense if you visit more than one country; for Timor-Leste alone, compare both in the table.
