Prepare for city stops and mountain journeys
For Zurich or Geneva, you may mainly need data for directions, messages and bookings. Save essential tickets before leaving Wi-Fi, especially when a journey involves several connections.
If your plans take you into the mountains, make offline preparation part of the itinerary. A country plan is not a promise of continuous reception along every hiking route or inside every tunnel. Check local network information and avoid making an essential travel step depend on a connection at one precise moment.

Is Switzerland automatically included in a Europe plan?
No regional name alone confirms inclusion. Open the plan’s country list and look for Switzerland explicitly. Do the same with your home carrier’s roaming offer before assuming that it covers your visit.
Check the supported-country list for the exact plan in the app. Local signal, your device and the selected network affect the connection; a coverage code is not a promise of service at every location.
Get ready before departure
The selected catalog plans list the first network connection as their billing start. Follow the exact order instructions and avoid connecting to a supported network before you intend to start the plan.
- Check that your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked.
- Buy the plan in Stellar eSIM and follow its installation steps over a reliable connection.
- When you are ready to use it, select the travel eSIM for mobile data and follow its roaming instructions.
- Test a small web page and monitor the remaining data during the trip.

VPN access and top-ups
Stellar VPN is included for your eSIM plan’s validity period. Set up the separate VPN app using the access details supplied with your order; the eSIM purchase does not automatically connect the VPN.
Top-up support varies by plan. Check whether a top-up adds data, extends validity or is unavailable before relying on it for a longer stay. Read our plan-selection guide if you are comparing several options.
