## Good to know

### Install before you fly

Install it at home on Wi-Fi. It stays off until you switch it on for data at your destination.

### Keep your own SIM

Your usual SIM stays in for calls and texts. Set the Veela eSIM as your line for mobile data.

### Help when you're there

The assistant answers in your language at any hour, and a person picks up anything it can't fix.

## Tips for Philippines

- Island hopping in Palawan and Siargao means hours without signal; download maps and bookings first.
- Grab works in Manila and Cebu; elsewhere, tricycles and local transport are mostly cash.
- Coverage is best in cities and resort areas, and can be thin on remote islands.

## Philippines eSIM questions

**Does it work in El Nido and Coron?**

Yes in town, with gaps on boat tours and remote beaches.
**Do I need to register a SIM in the Philippines?**

Local SIM cards must be registered. A roaming travel eSIM doesn't need local registration.
**When does the plan start?**

When the eSIM first connects to a network in Philippines. Installing it at home doesn't start the clock.
**Is my phone compatible?**

Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number and your phone is unlocked, it works. See the [compatibility checker](https://veela.io/compatibility/) for common models.
**Can I top up?**

Yes. From your account, add data to the same eSIM without reinstalling it.
