What Happens to My eSIM When I'm Home

Your eSIM at Home — No Expiry, No Fees

When you are back home and using your regular carrier, your Bcengi eSIM simply sits idle. There are no monthly fees, no expiry dates, and no charges when you are not using it.

What Happens When You Get Home

  • Switch your phone's data line back to your regular SIM
  • Your Bcengi eSIM stays installed on your phone but inactive
  • No data charges occur because no data is being used
  • Your balance is preserved — it never expires

How to Switch Back to Your Regular SIM

iPhone

  1. Go to Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data
  2. Select your regular SIM as the data line

Android / Samsung

  1. Go to Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs (Samsung: Connections → SIM Manager)
  2. Set Mobile Data to your regular SIM

Options When Not Traveling

  • Leave the eSIM installed: It is ready for your next trip. Just switch the data line back to Bcengi when you travel again.
  • Pause the eSIM: Log in at travel.bcengi.com and pause it if you prefer. This is optional since no charges occur when idle.
  • Turn off Auto-Refill: If you want extra peace of mind, disable auto-refill while at home.
  • Remove the eSIM: If you want to clean up your phone settings, you can delete it and reinstall before your next trip.
