🌍 Where Did You Purchase JetSim? Here’s Why It Matters
JetSim is available through official channels like myjetsim.com, Amazon, eBay, Best Buy, and other authorized resellers.
Why it matters:
Official site purchases → Guaranteed support and the latest eSIM technology.
Marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, Best Buy, etc.) → Require an extra step (submitting a claim form) before you receive your eSIM activation details.
Unofficial sites → Risk of outdated SIM cards or unsupported plans.

📄 Do You Need to Submit a Claim Form After
Purchase?
Yes—if you purchase JetSim through a marketplace such as Amazon, eBay, or Best Buy, you will need to submit a claim form after your order. This allows us to verify your purchase and send you your activation details.
👉 If you purchased directly from myjetsim.com, you do not need to submit a claim form.
📲 Physical SIM vs eSIM: Which JetSim Option Is Best for You?
Both physical SIMs and eSIMs offer great travel data service, but which one should you choose?
Physical SIM
Best for older phones that don’t support eSIM.
Requires shipping and manual insertion.
Can be swapped easily between devices.
eSIM
Digital download—no shipping required.
Activate instantly by scanning a QR code.
Can store multiple eSIMs on one device (great for frequent travelers).
👉 If your phone supports eSIM, we recommend choosing it for faster setup and convenience.
⏳ When Does My JetSim Plan Start Counting?
Your JetSim plan starts counting the moment it is activated upon arriving at your destination, not when you purchase it.
