    Good info. One suggestion, maybe slow down a bit while you are explaining screens and what to do. Know you can stop it, but, it is nice to have it up on screen while you are educating us. Thanks. Love the channel

    We're planning on a trip to Europe so this is very helpful. Once you activate Holafly and we're in Europe can we use it to call back to the States if we need to? Or do we have to switch back to our local carrier (in our case Verizon)? Also how do you know if your iPhone is locked? Thanks for all of your videos Nik and Allie. They've been incredibly helpful!

    • @irisp.3139
      @irisp.3139 5 днів тому +1

      You can use your phone to call the US with your primary line but you’ll be charged per minute for it. But if you have WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram or whatever chat apps that allow calls you may do so with no charge since it will be using cellular data from Holafly.
      To know whether your iphone is locked or not, go to Settings-> General-> About then scroll down till you find “Carrier Lock” It should say No SIM Restriction if your phone is unlocked.
      Hope this helps😊

      @@irisp.3139 Thanks irisp! Does the person I'm calling back in the US have to have WhatsApp or other for the call to go through w/o additional charges? Or will the call go through regardless?

    for data only and your settings, with roaming 'off' for the US line, does not mean no calls can come in? how about text messages. I was thinking of just using Holafly data and use WhatsApp for any communication...

    When I’m using the automatic install and activate option via the Holafly app, does it change the necessary settings on my phone also automatically?

    • @caveman7608
      @caveman7608 5 днів тому

      I did automatic and it switch my primary to off and turned eSIM on automatically. This was not good had to turn it on cause I’m not out of Country yet. Also holafly instructions are so confusing. Even this dudes video on UA-cam isn’t matching what customer service told me. I don’t trust this 100%. So to avoid a big bill on my return I and suspending my primary line on the days I’m gone so it will be impossible to use cellular. If I could go back I would probably have done the QR. it may have been more understandable and match what the UA-camr said

    Do you keep the same phone number when using eSIMS? I heard someone say that there can be complications when using two-step verifications with an eSIM. Is that true?

    • @WilliChang248
      @WilliChang248 17 днів тому

      It depends on your regular line and phone. Phones with eSIMs are usually able to use two lines at once.
