What’s the biggest eSIM mistake you’ve made while traveling? 🌍📱

I’ll go first:
Installing the eSIM but forgetting to actually switch the phone’s mobile data line to it after landing. 😅
Other common ones I’ve seen:

. Activating the eSIM too early
. Turning off the wrong SIM
. Not checking whether the phone is carrier-unlocked
. Buying a plan that doesn’t cover the country you’re visiting
.Waiting until landing to figure everything out 😂
What happened to you?

Curious to hear the real travel eSIM fails 👇
