Activation and day‑one checklist
Before you fly
- Buy the eSIM at the main product page: https://nexaesim.com/esim-sgp.
- Verify your phone supports eSIM and dual-SIM standby — see compatible devices.
- Note your planned arrival date so you can set activation within the 180-day window.
On arrival
- Connect to airport Wi‑Fi, scan the QR and follow your phone’s eSIM prompts.
- Leave your physical SIM in place if you want local calls; switch data to the eSIM profile for travel data.
- Test maps and one ride app before leaving the terminal to confirm 5G/4G connection.
Final tips
- Unlimited means no daily monitoring — still expect carrier fair‑use policies; heavy P2P or unusual tethering may be limited.
- If you share a lot of devices, prefer the $18.99–$24.99 unlimited tiers for extra breathing room.
- Extras: you can buy longer unlimited durations (10–30 days) if your trip is extended.
