A plain-language guide to travel eSIMs for Canadians: what they are, how they connect, what data-only means, and how to use one beside your Canadian SIM.
You can move a travel eSIM to a new phone only if your eSIM provider and both phones support it. Some phones offer a built-in eSIM transfer, but many travel eSIMs use a QR code that works only once, so you may need new activation details from the provider. Keep the eSIM on your old phone until the new phone shows the plan working.
If your travel eSIM is installed but has no internet, the phone is usually using the wrong line for data, data roaming is off on the travel eSIM when the plan needs it, or the plan has not started in a covered country. Set the travel eSIM as your mobile data line, turn on data roaming for that line only if the plan instructions say so, and restart the phone. If it still does not connect, check the APN and network settings in your plan instructions.
