Can I activate my eSIM outside the US?

No. To activate your Tello eSIM, you must be physically located within the United States.

The Rule:
  • Initial Activation: You must be connected to a US cell tower to complete the setup process for the first time.
⚠️The activation will not work if you are abroad.

Pro-Tip for Travelers:
If you are planning an international trip, make sure to purchase and activate your eSIM while you are still at home in the US. This ensures your service is fully functional before you head to the airport!
