No. An eSIM can be installed only once, and it locks to the first device it is installed on. It cannot be moved to another phone, re-scanned, or reinstalled afterward, and it is non-refundable once installed. Please install your eSIM on the device you plan to keep using. If you are switching devices and need help, contact our support team.

Beware: Barbados is not typically included in free roaming zones for US (e.g., AT&T, T-Mobile) or UK/Canadian carriers. Relying on your home SIM can lead to shocking bills, with daily roaming passes often costing $10-$15 for limited data. CheapESIM offers a dramatically more affordable alternative. By switching to a CheapESIM, you pre-pay for a specific data allowance at a fraction of the cost, eliminating unexpected charges. For example, a CheapESIM plan for Barbados could provide 5GB of data for less than what one day of roaming would cost with your home provider, representing significant savings.
