British Virgin Islands eSIM FAQs
No, the British Virgin Islands eSIM is data - only and excludes voice/SMS numbers. You’ll have to rely on data - based messaging platforms like WhatsApp or Telegram for calling.
The eSIM activates when you touch down in British Virgin Islands - if you’ve already installed it, it should connect automatically.
Installing while already in British Virgin Islands works too; it will start as soon as you complete setup.
If you experience connection issues, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or reach out to our support team.

Yes, you can. Around 99 percent of our eSIMs allow quick and easy top ups through the ZenSim app. You can add more data, increase the days, or even include a different destination on the same eSIM right from the Zen Garden.
Open the app, go to the Zen Garden area, and you’ll see the top up button waiting for you.
Travelling for a while: If your trip lasts more than 30 days, you can queue multiple top ups. None of them will interrupt your current plan because each one only activates when the previous eSIM expires.
Travelling to more destinations: Most eSIMs let you attach extra countries via a top up. For example, if you're heading home from Europe and stopping in Singapore, you can add Singapore to your Europe eSIM and it will switch on once you arrive.
