Yes, and you should. Installing at home on your own broadband is the single most reliable install path. The profile sits dormant on your phone — no data consumed, no plan window started — until you activate it by turning Data Roaming on abroad.

Why install at home

  • Home Wi-Fi doesn't have the captive portals, port filters, and carrier-lobbied blocking that hotel/airport/corporate Wi-Fi has.
  • If install fails at home, you have days to troubleshoot instead of minutes at an airport.
  • You land, turn on Data Roaming, and you're online in 30 seconds.

Reach Openline support 24/7 through any of these channels:

When you write in, include your purchase code (the OL-… code we emailed you) and, if the eSIM is already installed, its ICCID (Settings → Cellular → tap the Openline line). That's enough for us to find your plan and diagnose without back-and-forth.
