Traveling with family often means keeping several phones connected at the same time. With Figabytes, you can purchase eSIMs for multiple family members, but each eSIM should be installed on the device it is intended for.
This guide explains how to manage Figabytes eSIMs for your family and avoid mixing up eSIMs during installation.
Yes.
You can purchase Figabytes eSIMs for family members traveling with you, including:
Before purchasing, make sure each device is eSIM-compatible and unlocked.
Yes.
Each device that needs its own mobile data connection should have its own eSIM plan.
For example, if four family members want mobile data on four different phones, you should purchase an eSIM for each device.
An individual Figabytes eSIM profile should not be installed across multiple devices.
Yes.
You can purchase and manage multiple eSIMs through your Figabytes account.
This can make family travel easier because your eSIM purchases can be managed from one place.
You can view your purchased eSIMs under:
Profile → My eSIMs
Before starting the installation process, check every device individually.
Make sure each phone:
Checking compatibility before purchasing can help prevent installation problems later.
When setting up several devices, we recommend installing one eSIM at a time.
For each family member:
This reduces the chance of installing an eSIM on the wrong phone.
After installation, give each eSIM an easy-to-recognize label.
For example:
This is particularly helpful if a phone already contains a primary SIM or other eSIM profiles.
Each Figabytes eSIM has its own installation information.
When installing multiple eSIMs, make sure you're using the correct QR code or activation details for the intended device.
Avoid:
Figabytes eSIM profiles are generally single-use.
Once an eSIM has been installed, its original QR code or activation details may not be reusable on another device.
If the eSIM has not been installed yet, you can install it on the compatible device you intend to use.
Once it has been installed, however, you generally shouldn't attempt to move it to another phone.
If an eSIM was accidentally installed on the wrong device, contact Figabytes Support before deleting it.
Do not delete the eSIM to try installing it on another device.
A replacement profile may be required.
We recommend installing your family's eSIMs before traveling, while everyone has access to reliable Wi-Fi.
This gives you time to:
Depending on the plan, installation alone does not usually start the data validity period.
Once you reach your destination, configure each device separately.
On each phone:
Make sure Data Roaming is enabled for Figabytes, not accidentally for the home SIM.
Yes.
Each traveler can have a plan that matches their individual needs.
For example, one family member may need more data for:
while another may only need data for:
You can select different data allowances or validity periods for different family members when available.
If your plan and device support hotspot or tethering, one traveler may be able to share their Figabytes mobile data connection with other devices.
However, everyone will be consuming data from the same eSIM data allowance.
For travelers who need independent connectivity throughout the trip, separate eSIMs are usually more convenient.
If you're setting up Figabytes eSIMs for several family members and need assistance, contact Figabytes Support.
When contacting support, provide:
