• When should I install my Andorra eSIM - before or after I arrive?

  "We recommend installing your Andorra eSIM before you leave home.

  Why install early: • You need a stable Wi-Fi or data connection to download the eSIM profile • Installing at home means you land in Andorra already connected - no airport Wi-Fi hunting • You can troubleshoot any issues from home rather than at the airport

  Does early installation waste data? No - the Andorra eSIM data plan only starts counting when you first use data in Andorra. Installing the eSIM in advance does not consume your allowance.

  What if I haven’t installed before landing? Most major airports in Andorra have free Wi-Fi - you can install immediately after landing. The process takes under 2 minutes."

• Will I lose my home phone number when I use a Andorra eSIM?

  "No - your home SIM card and phone number remain completely active alongside your Commbitz Andorra eSIM.

  An eSIM works as a second line on your device (dual SIM). Your setup will be: • Home SIM: active for calls, texts, and as your regular number • Commbitz Andorra eSIM: active for mobile data in Andorra

  To avoid accidental roaming charges: → Set Andorra eSIM as default for ‘Mobile Data’ → Keep your home SIM set to ‘Voice & SMS’ only → Turn off ‘Data Roaming’ on your home SIM in settings

  This way you continue receiving calls on your home number while using fast local eSIM data - with zero roaming charges on your home plan."

• Why is eSIM better than buying a local SIM in Andorra?

  "Buying a local SIM in Andorra sounds simple - until you actually arrive. Here’s why Commbitz eSIM is the smarter choice:

  ❌ Local SIM: • Long airport queues to buy and register a SIM • Passport checks and documentation requirements • Risk of low-quality or tourist-targeted plans • Must swap out your home SIM (and lose your number temporarily) • No way to set up before you land

  ✅ Commbitz eSIM: • Purchase in 2 minutes before you leave home • Connected the moment you land - no queues, no paperwork • Keep your existing home number active alongside eSIM data • No SIM swapping - nothing to lose or damage • Instant 24/7 support if anything goes wrong

  For most international travelers, eSIM is simply the faster, safer, and more convenient option."

• Can I top up or recharge my Andorra eSIM if data runs out during my trip?

  "Yes - if you run out of data or your plan expires during your trip, you can easily top up without visiting any store.

  How to top up:

  1. Visit Commbitz.com from your phone (connect to hotel Wi-Fi if needed)
  2. Purchase a new Andorra eSIM plan
  3. The new plan is applied to your existing eSIM - no new QR code needed in most cases

  Your eSIM stays installed on your device throughout your trip, so getting more data is as quick as a 2-minute purchase. Connection stays uninterrupted.

  Tip: If you’re a heavy data user, consider buying a higher-data plan upfront - it’s usually more cost-effective than multiple top-ups."
