FAQ
How to see eSIMs being used
We are helping people in a genocide who are being bombed, killed, shot and displaced. They might take the eSIM and be killed before activating it or their phone may be lost or destroyed. They may walk many miles and search for several days for a stable internet connection.
If your eSim hasn't been activated in a few days: Reforward the email to them (gazaesims@gmail.com) and put the expiration date in the subject line. Don't worry if your eSIM is about to expire or has expired simply reach out to the eSIM company to renew it.
How to top up an eSIM
An eSIM can be used by dozens of people connecting to one device, it is common for the data to be used quickly. When an eSIM has been used please help the people using it to stay connected by topping it up.
