eSIM for Cyprus 🇨🇾
Cyprus eSIMs let you connect to local networks as soon as you land — no SIM swap needed. Before arrival, confirm your phone is carrier-unlocked and eSIM-compatible with eSIM (iPhone XS+, most 2019+ Androids). Activate the QR code before departure; enable data roaming once in Cyprus, enable data roaming in settings to start using data within seconds.

FAQ
Does my phone need to be unlocked to support eSIM for Cyprus?
Yes — check your device model. eSIM works on iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, plus most Samsung Galaxy S20 and later models. Older phones or locked devices won't work.
Can I activate the eSIM before I land?
Yes — scan the QR code from your email at home or in the airport lounge. The profile installs immediately, but data won't activate until you connect to a local network in Cyprus.
Why isn't my data working after I arrived?
Go to Settings > Cellular/Mobile Data and turn on 'Data Roaming' for the eSIM line. Also confirm that the eSIM is selected for cellular data, not your home SIM1.
Can I keep my home SIM active while using the Cyprus eSIM?
Yes — most dual-SIM phones allow your home SIM for calls/SMS and the eSIM for data. Just set the eSIM as the data line in your default for cellular data.
What if I run out of data during my trip?
You can top up the same eSIM directly from your KodShop account — no need to install a new profile. Topping up takes effect within a few minutes.
