Question 1

What is an eSIM Greece and how does it work for travellers?

Accepted Answer

An eSIM Greece is an embedded SIM into your device’s hardware, which lets you install multiple eSIM profiles without physically swapping cards. It activates digitally and works just like the familiar traditional SIM chip. A Greece travel eSIM from SimCorner arrives by email within minutes of purchase and can be activated in minutes. This makes it ideal for travellers wanting fast, prepaid connectivity.

Question 2

Can I buy a Greece tourist eSIM before arriving in the country?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can buy a Greece tourist eSIM before your arrival, and it is recommended that you do. SimCorner sends the QR code instantly, so you can install it with your home internet, thus making the eSIM activation less dependent on a third-party Wi-Fi after landing. Purchasing before departure ensures you land connected.

Question 3

Do I need ID proof to purchase the SimCorner eSIM for Greece?

Accepted Answer

No, you do not need an ID proof to purchase the SimCorner eSIM for Greece. You only need an unlocked, compatible device and an email address for signing up and receiving the QR code. There’s no requirement for passports or identity documents, even for activation. Once ordered, your Greece eSIM for tourists arrives via email within minutes and can be installed whenever you are ready.

Question 4

When does my eSIM Greece data plan start?

Accepted Answer

Your eSIM Greece data plan starts the moment the eSIM first connects to a Greek network. Installation alone doesn’t trigger activation, so you can add the profile at home without starting the validity. Once you land, turn on roaming and mobile data, and the plan begins its validity only when it becomes active on a local network.

Question 5

How do I set up and activate the eSIM Greece on my device?

Accepted Answer

To set up the eSIM card Greece on your device, scan the SimCorner QR code emailed to you, follow the installation prompts, and ensure the profile is enabled. Once you land in Greece, turn on mobile data and roaming to activate the plan. The setup normally takes just a few minutes, with no ID or kiosk visit required.

Question 6

Do I have to activate data roaming on my device to use the eSIM for Greece?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you have to activate data roaming on your device to use the eSIM for Greece. Roaming must be enabled so the eSIM can correctly connect to SimCorner’s partner networks in Greece. This does not lead to extra roaming charges because your usage stays within your prepaid allowance, so your Greece travel eSIM stays cost-controlled—no daily or background top-ups and no postpaid bills.

Question 7

What should I do if my Greece eSIM for tourists doesn’t activate?

Accepted Answer

If your Greece eSIM for tourists doesn’t activate, first restart your device and ensure roaming is enabled. Check that you are active on the SimCorner eSIM profile. If it doesn’t connect, try manually configuring the APN settings, though it is rarely needed. If issues continue, SimCorner offers 24/7 human support to resolve activation problems quickly and ensure your plan begins working without delay.

Question 8

Can I reinstall the eSIM for Greece on another device if needed?

Accepted Answer

No, you cannot reinstall the eSIM for Greece on another device. eSIM profiles are single-use, and once activated in a device, they cannot be transferred or deleted and reinstalled on another device. If deleted, it cannot be reinstalled on the same device twice. All QRs are single activation only. For this reason, always install the Greece prepaid eSIM on the device you primarily plan to use.

Question 9

Can I make phone calls or send messages with my SimCorner eSIM card Greece?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can make phone calls or send messages with your SimCorner eSIM card Greece, depending on the specific plan you choose. Our Europe Orange Holiday plan includes unlimited EU calling and SMS allowances, while all other eSIM Greece data plans support VoIP communication through apps like WhatsApp and Messenger without restrictions on data or regions.

Question 10

Does the eSIM card Greece let me keep my WhatsApp number?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the eSIM card Greece lets you keep your existing WhatsApp number. WhatsApp is linked to your home SIM number and doesn’t log you out for using data from other sources like Wi-Fi or the Greece eSIM for tourists. Hence, switching to the SimCorner Greece tourist eSIM doesn’t change your chats or contacts. You continue using your home number while benefiting from affordable travel connectivity throughout your trip.

Question 11

What eSIM data plan should I choose for Greece?

Accepted Answer

The eSIM Greece data plan you should choose depends on your travel duration and data habits. Light users typically prefer 10–30GB for travel up to a month, while frequent navigators or social media users choose larger 100–500GB or eSIM Greece unlimited plans. SimCorner provides flexible durations from 5 to 90 days, so you can easily purchase the plan that fits your data habits.

Question 12

Can I share my eSIM Greece data with other devices?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can share your eSIM Greece data with other devices easily via hotspot tethering. SimCorner allows hotspot use on all Greece prepaid eSIM plans—uncapped within your plan’s allowance. Whether you are working remotely on multiple devices or helping your travel companions connect, this flexibility ensures that your eSIM Greece data allowance works efficiently throughout your trip.

Question 13

Which eSIM carrier will I connect to in Greece?

Accepted Answer

You will connect to SimCorner’s partner carriers in Greece. It includes major networks such as Cosmote, Vodafone GR, and Nova/WIND. These networks offer strong 4G and expanding 5G coverage across mainland cities and Greek islands, ensuring your Greece tourist eSIM delivers local-like coverage wherever you travel.

Question 14

Will my eSIM Greece work across all Greek islands and mainland regions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your eSIM card Greece works across mainland areas and almost all islands, including Santorini, Crete, Naxos, Rhodes, and Corfu. SimCorner partners with top Greek networks to ensure excellent 4G/5G coverage. However, we still keep our customers informed that more remote, non-tourist locations may have connectivity lapses. If you plan to visit such locations, be prepared accordingly, such as by downloading your navigation offline in advance.

Question 15

Does the Greece eSIM for tourists connect to 5G networks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Greece eSIM for tourists connects to leading Greek networks that offer 5G in most major cities and wherever 5G isn’t locally available, you will connect to strong 4G coverage. However, 5G signals also depend on your device—if it isn’t compatible with the local 5G bands, you will get 4G networks only. With a compatible phone and location, you will experience blazing 5G speeds with the SimCorner eSIM Greece data.

Question 16

Does the Greece travel eSIM avoid roaming charges?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Greece travel eSIM avoids roaming charges entirely because it operates as a local plan once activated. All usage falls under your prepaid allowance, and when it ends, there are no sneaky background top-ups, so you never face unexpected post-trip bills. Plus, it does not require daily recharges like roaming and does not have daily usage limits either. You travel with local rates, not heavy roaming charges.

Question 17

Which devices work with the Greece travel eSIM?

Accepted Answer

Devices that work with the Greece travel eSIM include the most recent iPhones (XS+), Samsung Galaxy S20+ and Fold models, Google Pixel 3+, and several others. To check the compatibility of your device, go through our updated list of eSIM-compatible devices. However, keep in mind that eSIM compatibility can have regional variations, especially in the US, Hong Kong, and China, where the same devices lack eSIM support or have disabled functionality.

Question 18

How do I check if my device supports the Greece prepaid eSIM?

Accepted Answer

To check if your device supports the Greece prepaid eSIM, look for an EID number in your Settings → About Phone. Alternatively, you can search your device model online, but specify the purchase location. If your phone supports eSIM technology and is unlocked, you can use the Greece eSIM for tourists without issues.

Question 19

Can dual-SIM phones use the eSIM for Greece and my home SIM together?

Accepted Answer

Yes, dual-SIM devices can use the eSIM for Greece alongside your home SIM. This allows you to keep your primary number active for banking or OTPs while using affordable eSIM Greek data. While convenient, it is important to note that calls/ texts/ data usage from your home SIM will trigger roaming charges by your provider.

Question 20

What happens if my device isn’t compatible with an eSIM card Greece?

Accepted Answer

If your device isn’t compatible with eSIM Greece, you can still stay connected by ordering a physical Greece SIM card from SimCorner. It ships to your home within 2–9 business days after purchase and offers similar data packages with the same strong coverage from partner networks.
