Cyber Monday eSIM deals FAQs
When is Cyber Monday 2024?
Cyber Monday is the Monday after Black Friday, so this year it falls on December 2.
As the holiday season heats up and as predicted, we've seen a surge in eSIM offers that are valid throughout the shopping event.
Some promotional codes are exclusive to us and will remain valid even after the event, giving you extra flexibility to snag these offers.
If you have a trip planned, I'd recommend purchasing an eSIM now, as this is the best time of year to find the biggest deals. Bookmark this page and keep checking back for updates, as I will be adding more deals as they drop.
Can I purchase an eSIM during Cyber Monday and activate it later when I travel?
Most eSIMs allow you to purchase prepaid plans ahead of your travels ensuring you are prepared before you arrive at your destination. Once there, you can activate your eSIM by either scanning the QR code sent to your email or I recommend activating directly through the provider's app.
Before purchasing an eSIM, make sure that your device is eSIM compatible. While most modern iOS and Android devices support eSIMs, it's always a good idea to double-check.
For iOS users
Go to Settings> General> Carrier
For Android users
Go to Settings> Network & Internet
When it's time to activate your eSIM, follow the on-screen instructions provided by your eSIM provider. If you run into any issues, I've found the provider's Help Center to be quite useful. Here, you can find step-by-step instructions on how to install and activate your eSIM.
What date is Travel Tuesday, 2024?
Travel Tuesday is the Tuesday after Black Friday. So this year, it is falling on 3 December 2024. Travel enthusiasts can expect top airlines to drop prices including British Airways, and Virgin Atlantic among others.
We can also expect eSIM platforms to participate in this event. It's unlikely that the prices will drop any further than their current level but we can expect most of the mentioned deals in this list to be still valid on Travel Tuesday.
