Each eSIM can be installed up to 6 times. This limit is set by our eSIM network provider and can't be reset.

What counts as an install

Every time the eSIM is downloaded onto a phone counts as one install. This includes deleting it and installing it again on the same phone, and moving it to a new phone.

What doesn't count

  • Turning the eSIM line on or off in your phone's settings

  • Adding a new plan to your eSIM

See how many you've used

Open My eSIMs in the Every app (Account → My eSIMs), or at app.every.club/esim. Your eSIM shows "Installs used: 2 of 6".

Tips

  • Install once and keep it. After your trip, leave the eSIM on your phone and turn the line off. Next trip, add a new plan to the same eSIM.

  • Changing phones? Delete the eSIM from your old phone first, then install it on the new one. This uses one install.

What happens after 6 installs

  • If the eSIM is still on your phone: it keeps working, and you can keep adding plans to it.

  • If it's no longer on a phone: it can't be installed again. Buy a new plan in the Every app and it comes with a new eSIM. Your plans with data left move to the new eSIM with the same expiry date. The app then shows you how to install it.

eSIMs issued before 12 November 2026

My eSIMs doesn't show a counter for these, but the provider's limit still applies. If your phone can't install your eSIM any more, contact [email protected] and we'll give you a new eSIM free of charge.
