How to Get Your eSIM
- Purchase and receive your QR code
Complete checkout and your eSIM QR code arrives by email within minutes. No physical SIM card needed. - Scan the QR code on your device
Go to Settings › Cellular/Mobile › Add eSIM and scan the code. Label this line for easy identification. - Configure APN and enable roaming
Enter the APN details from your confirmation email. Turn on data roaming for this line before landing in Cyprus. - Activate when you arrive
Your plan validity begins when the eSIM first connects to a Cyprus network. Keep your primary line for calls if needed.
How the Unlimited Plan Works
Each day you receive 1 GB of high-speed data on the epic network. Use it for video calls, uploads, downloads or hotspot tethering — whatever your work requires.
When the 1 GB runs out, the connection throttles to 128 Kbps. This speed handles messaging apps, email and map navigation without issue. It will not support video streaming, VoIP calls or large file transfers. The connection stays active; only the speed changes.
Your daily allowance resets at 00:00 UTC — that is a fixed moment in UTC, not midnight where you are, so check your phone's UTC offset if you plan around it. After the reset, you have a fresh 1 GB at full speed.
This is a data-only eSIM. There is no phone number attached, which means no voice calls and no SMS. If you need to receive verification codes, use an authenticator app or keep your home SIM active for messages.

Is This Plan Right for You?
The Unlimited plan fits travellers who need dependable connectivity without hard cutoffs. If you tether a laptop for remote work and cannot predict whether you will use 400 MB or 1.2 GB on a given day, the slowdown safety net keeps you online for essential tasks. It also suits anyone who values peace of mind over raw speed — knowing the connection will not simply stop mid-afternoon.
This plan is not the best choice for longer stays or heavy data users. The maximum validity is seven days; if your trip runs longer, explore the Cyprus for standard data bundles with extended validity. Travellers who regularly stream video or join multiple video calls daily may burn through 1 GB quickly and find 128 Kbps frustrating. And if you need a working phone number for local calls, boarding passes or two-factor codes via SMS, the Cyprus Voice provides voice and text alongside data.
Traveller Tips
- Download offline maps before your daily quota runs low — 128 Kbps loads map tiles slowly but cached maps work instantly.
- Schedule large uploads and cloud backups early in your data day when full speed is available.
- Keep your home SIM active on a secondary line if you need to receive SMS verification codes — this eSIM has no phone number.
- Set a data usage alert at 800 MB so you know when the slowdown is approaching and can wrap up bandwidth-heavy tasks.
- Disable automatic app updates and photo syncing to preserve your 1 GB for intentional use.
- If your stay exceeds seven days, purchase a standard Cyprus data plan instead of stacking multiple Unlimited bundles — it is simpler and often more cost-effective.
