- Buy the plan and open the activation email on your phone or another device with internet access.
- On iPhone go to Settings → Cellular → Add Cellular Plan.
- Scan the eSIM QR code (or use manual code from the email).
- Label the eSIM (e.g., "Antigua eSIM") and set data/voice preferences if asked.
- Restart your phone and confirm cellular data is active; enable Data Roaming if prompted.
- If you pre-activated, verify you have signal before departing; bring the order receipt to ANU.

FAQ
Is 10GB enough for a X‑day Antigua and Barbuda vacation?
Yes for most 5–7 day leisure trips: maps/navigation, messaging, social uploads and occasional streaming. Example: solo 5‑day explorer (maps + 1–2 social uploads/day + light streaming) typically stays within 6–8GB; share or upgrade if you plan heavy HD streaming or multiple users.
Can I use the eSIM as a hotspot and share data with my travel partner?
Yes — NexaEsim plans are hotspot‑ready but subject to a fair‑use policy. Occasional tethering for maps and light browsing is fine; heavy tethering or continuous multi‑device streaming may be limited.
Will the eSIM work immediately when I land at ANU?
If you pre‑activated the profile you should be online on arrival (typical). If you chose start‑on‑arrival, have the QR/email ready and airport Wi‑Fi as backup.
How do I top up if I run out of data mid-trip?
Top up via your NexaEsim dashboard or the checkout flow—provisioning is typically near‑instant but may occasionally take a short time. Keep your order email and account details handy.
Can I get an invoiceable receipt or corporate billing?
Yes. Request an invoice during checkout or contact support after purchase for business billing details and required company information.
What if my phone shows no service after activation?
Quick fixes: toggle Airplane Mode, restart the phone, ensure the eSIM profile is active and set as the data line, enable Data Roaming, and select automatic network. Contact NexaEsim support if problems persist.
