Question 1

How quickly do I get my Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea eSIM?

Accepted Answer

Immediately. The profile is issued as soon as payment clears and appears on your order page with a QR code — usually within a few seconds.

Question 2

When does the plan start counting down in Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea?

Accepted Answer

On the first connection to a network in Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea, not at purchase. Install it before you fly and the validity still starts when you arrive.

Question 3

Will I keep my own number in Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The eSIM is a separate data-only line, so your usual SIM keeps handling calls, SMS and WhatsApp. Switch off data roaming on that line to avoid your home operator's charges.

Question 4

Can I share the connection from my phone in Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea?

Accepted Answer

Yes, hotspot and tethering are allowed on these plans. Sharing uses your data allowance at the same rate as the phone itself.

Question 5

What if I run out of data in Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea?

Accepted Answer

The connection simply stops — no overage bills. You can buy a top-up for the same eSIM without installing anything again.
