The nitty gritty

No, the Latvia travel eSIM is data-only. It won’t give you a cellular voice line. If you want to call, just fire up WhatsApp, Telegram, or FaceTime using your data allowance.
Yes! You may install the Latvia eSIM up to 30 days before you travel. It won’t connect or start using data until you arrive.
Early installation ensures you’re ready on arrival, and it won’t drain your plan until you’re in Latvia.
If you encounter an activation message on iPhone before landing, it’s usually safe to ignore - see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for more info.
No, these eSIMs only provide data access and do not assign you a phone number. To make calls, please use internet - enabled apps such as WhatsApp or FaceTime.
Your eSIM will activate automatically once you step off the plane in Latvia. We do suggest installing your Latvia Travel eSIM before departure (installation ≠ activation).
Installation is a breeze: scan the QR code provided or install via the ZenSim app over WiFi. Upon landing, the eSIM will activate itself.

Good question! Opting for a travel eSIM instead of roaming in Latvia offers clear advantages:
Lower Costs: Say goodbye to outrageous roaming bills by switching to a local travel package designed for Latvia.
Seamless Switching: Change between data plans without fumbling with physical SIM cards - perfect for spontaneous travellers.
Budget Control: Track data usage in real time and avoid surprise charges or overages.
No - the plan’s data and days only start when you arrive in Latvia. Installation beforehand simply sets it up for activation on landing.
We recommend installing before departure since you will need WiFi to complete the installation process and this way you will be connected as soon as you land.
If you need help connecting, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or reach out to us.
Yes! Our eSIMs cover more than 200 countries, including Latvia. We even provide regional eSIMs that span multiple countries in one package - head over to our Travel eSIMs page to learn more.

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.
Top up pricing: Latvia top up plans follow the same pricing as on the website, minus a 10% discount.
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.
Once activated in Latvia, your eSIM typically won’t function outside that country.
If you're planning to hop between countries, we recommend checking out our regional Travel eSIMs - they’re made for multi-country use and cover most major regions.
Yep, you can, can you should! For every friend or family member you refer to purchase a Latvia eSIM, you will earn a A$5 voucher to use on your next purchase AND they will save A$5 on their purchase.
All you have to do is share your unique referral URL with them, which you can access after purchase, and if they click it and purchase the savings are automatic.
You can monitor your referrals and find your personal referral URL directly in the ZenSim app. Read our terms for full details.
It might, but only if you're on an unlimited plan and only after you pass 3GB in a single day - which is well above what most people actually use (under 1GB a day on average).
Once you hit that 3GB mark, your speed drops to 1Mbps until midnight, then resets back to full speed for the new day.
If you're on a fixed-data plan like 10GB or 20GB, none of this applies - there's no daily limit, just use your data as needed until the plan runs out. We'll notify you beforehand, and you can top up right away in the ZenSim app.
There's no fixed start date the moment you buy it - your plan sits dormant until you actually arrive in Latvia, so buying and installing it early doesn't cost you any data or days.
Once you land, provided the eSIM is already installed, it activates automatically and that's your official start date.
Your expiry date follows on from there - the plan ends once either your data or your days run out, whichever comes first (or just the days, if you're on unlimited). So a 30-day plan expires 30 days after you land in Latvia, regardless of when you originally bought it.
Easy way to check - just run your phone through our eSIM compatibility checker and you'll know in seconds whether it'll work with our Latvia eSIM and networks.
Still not sure, or something looks off? Reach out to us and we'll sort it out. And if it turns out your phone genuinely can't run the eSIM, our refund policy has you covered with a full refund - so there's no risk in grabbing a plan and giving it a go.
We've got a 100% money back guarantee for exactly this kind of situation.
That covers trip cancellations, phones that turn out not to be eSIM-compatible, or just a change of plans that means you no longer need it.
Our full refund policy spells it all out, but the short version is: unable to install or use the eSIM means a full refund, every time.
