Frequently Asked Questions

Which devices are compatible with eSIM?

La mayoría de los smartphones lanzados desde 2018 son compatibles: iPhone XS o posterior, Samsung Galaxy S20 o posterior, Google Pixel 3 o posterior, y la gama media alta reciente de Xiaomi, Motorola, Honor, Oppo, OnePlus y Vivo. Tu equipo también debe estar libre, sin bloqueo de operador.

Compruébalo en 10 segundos: marca *#06# en tu teléfono. Si aparece un código EID, tu equipo soporta eSIM.

Un aviso que ahorra sorpresas: los equipos comprados en China continental o Hong Kong suelen venir sin eSIM, aunque el mismo modelo vendido en el resto del mundo sí la tenga.

Do I need to remove my physical SIM to use an eSIM?

No. The eSIM installs as an additional line: your physical SIM stays in your phone and you keep your usual number. Just remember to turn off data roaming on your regular line while you travel, so you don’t get surprise charges while you browse with Gigapanda.

Will I lose my WhatsApp number when using the eSIM?

No, you keep your WhatsApp exactly as it is. Your account stays linked to your usual number (the one from your physical SIM) and the Gigapanda eSIM only provides data. Chats, calls, and video calls work perfectly normally, with nothing to reconfigure.

Does the eSIM include calls or only data?

Nuestras eSIM son solo de datos: no incluyen número telefónico local ni llamadas tradicionales. Puedes llamar y recibir llamadas sin problema por WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram o cualquier app que use internet, que es como llama hoy la mayoría de viajeros, y así evitas por completo las tarifas de roaming.

Can I install the eSIM before I travel?

Sí, y es lo que recomendamos: instálala con una conexión wifi estable antes de salir de casa. Instalarla no gasta tu plan. Los días y datos empiezan a contar recién con el primer consumo, normalmente al conectarte en tu destino. Así aterrizas con internet listo desde el primer minuto.

When does my plan start counting?

Your plan starts with the first data usage: when the eSIM connects to the network at your destination and you begin browsing. Installing it before your trip doesn’t use up days or data, so you can get it ready at home with plenty of time and turn on data roaming only once you land.

How do I install and activate a Gigapanda eSIM?

In under 5 minutes: when you complete your purchase, you receive a QR code by email. Scan it from your phone’s settings (with Wi-Fi) and the eSIM is installed. When you arrive at your destination, turn on data roaming for the Gigapanda line and you’re set — start browsing. Along with your QR code, we send you the step-by-step guide for iPhone and Android.

Can I share internet (hotspot) with my eSIM?

No. Our plans don’t allow sharing internet with other devices (hotspot or tethering): the eSIM is designed to be used on the phone where you install it. It’s important to know this before you travel, because trying to share data blocks the eSIM. Traveling as a group? The best option is for each traveler to bring their own eSIM: everyone browses at full speed and with no risks.

Is unlimited data really unlimited?

Yes: you browse every day of your plan with no cutoffs and no extra charges. To keep the network fast for everyone, each day you get an amount of data at full speed (shown in your plan); if you go over it, you stay connected at reduced speed, and the next day you automatically get full speed back. No surprises on your bill, ever.

What happens if I run out of data or my plan expires?

Compras un nuevo plan en gigapanda.com en un minuto y recibes tu QR al instante por email, estés donde estés. Solo necesitas una conexión wifi para instalarlo. Un consejo: no elimines la eSIM de tu teléfono hasta terminar el viaje, porque cada código QR es de un solo uso.

What if something goes wrong? Do you offer support and refunds?

Sí. Tienes soporte en español por email (ayuda@gigapanda.com) y por los canales de atención de nuestra web, todos los días. Si algo falla, escríbenos en el momento en que ocurra: hacemos el diagnóstico contigo y, si la falla es atribuible a Gigapanda, reponemos tu eSIM o te devolvemos el dinero.

Ten en cuenta que no aplican reembolsos por errores en la compra (por ejemplo, elegir un destino equivocado o un teléfono no compatible). Por eso te recomendamos verificar la compatibilidad antes de comprar: marca *#06# y confirma que aparece un código EID. Puedes ver la política completa en nuestros Términos y condiciones.
