Papua New Guinea eSIM questions
When does my Papua New Guinea plan start counting?
Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Papua New Guinea, not when you buy it. Installing early costs you nothing.
Can I make calls in Papua New Guinea?
Jelly plans are data plans. Calls work over WhatsApp, FaceTime, or any app you already use, and your home number stays reachable on your other SIM.
Can I tether a laptop in Papua New Guinea?
Yes on most compatible phones. Tethering uses data quickly, so pick a larger plan if a laptop is coming with you.
What if I run out of data in Papua New Guinea?
Top up from your dashboard. The top up applies to the eSIM already installed, so there is nothing new to scan.
