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 the eSIM is selected for cellular data, not your home SIM.
Can I keep my home SIM active while using the Cyprus eSIM?
Yes, most dual-SIM phones let your home SIM handle calls and SMS while the eSIM handles data. Just set the eSIM as the default data line in settings.
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. Top-ups take effect within a few minutes.
