Veela help center

How can we help?

Most answers are below. The assistant answers at any hour in your language, and a person takes over when it can't solve something.

Before you buy

What is a travel eSIM?

A mobile data plan you download to the eSIM built into your phone, instead of inserting a plastic SIM card. You keep your usual SIM for calls and texts.

How do I know my phone works?

Dial *#06#: an EID number means your phone has an eSIM. It must also be unlocked. See the compatibility checker.

How much data do I need?

Maps, messages and ride apps use about 0.3 to 0.5 GB a day; social media and photos about 1 GB; video calls about 0.5 GB an hour. The plan finder works it out for your trip.

Do I get a phone number?

No. Plans are data only. Call and message through apps; your usual SIM keeps your number for texts.

Installing

When should I install it?

Before you leave, at home on Wi-Fi. The plan starts only when it first connects at your destination.

Can I install it on two phones?

No. An eSIM installs on one phone, usually only once. Buy one per traveller.

I deleted the eSIM by mistake.

Most eSIMs can't be reinstalled once deleted. Contact us with your order number: we'll check with the network what can be done.

The QR code won't scan.

Use the activation code instead: on your order page, copy the SM-DP+ address and activation code into the manual entry screen.

At your destination

I have no data after landing.

Turn on Data Roaming for the Veela line, select it for mobile data, toggle airplane mode, then restart. The install guide has the full checklist.

Data is slow.

Move to an open area, toggle airplane mode, and check whether you've used your daily high-speed allowance on an unlimited plan. Tell the assistant your location if it persists.

Can I use hotspot?

Yes, on most plans. Connected devices share your data allowance.

Orders, top-ups and refunds

How do I top up?

Sign in to your account, open the eSIM and choose Top up. The data is added to the same eSIM.

What's the refund rule?

Full refund if the eSIM wasn't installed, within 30 days of purchase; or if it was installed but never connects at your destination and we can't fix it. See the refund policy.

Where's my receipt?

It's emailed after payment and available in your account.

Which payment methods do you take?

Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay through Stripe. In Vietnam, VietQR bank transfer too.
