Marquesas eSIM — questions, answered
How does an eSIM work in Marquesas?
An eSIM is a digital SIM in your phone. Buy a Marquesas plan on Plota, scan the QR we email you, and a data line installs next to your home SIM. Use Plota for data in Marquesas while your regular number stays for calls, texts, WhatsApp, and iMessage.
How do I install my Marquesas eSIM on iPhone?
On Wi‑Fi before you travel: Settings → Cellular (or Mobile Data) → Add eSIM, then scan the QR from your Plota email or dashboard. Label the line (e.g. “Marquesas”), keep it ready, and when you arrive in Marquesas turn the line on and enable Data Roaming for it.
How do I install my Marquesas eSIM on Android?
On Wi‑Fi: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Add eSIM, then scan your Plota QR (or paste the activation code). In Marquesas, set Plota as the mobile data SIM and turn Data Roaming on for that line.
How do I select the correct network for my Marquesas eSIM?
After you install your Marquesas eSIM, open Settings → Cellular / Mobile Data (or Network & internet → SIMs), tap the Plota line, and select the network shown on your plan card or in the Plota app/dashboard. Do not guess a carrier — use the name listed for your plan.
How do I turn on Data Roaming for my Marquesas eSIM?
In Marquesas, open Settings → Cellular / Mobile Data → select your Plota Marquesas eSIM → turn Data Roaming On. Also set Mobile Data to that eSIM line (not only your home SIM). Leave your home SIM’s roaming off if you want to avoid home-carrier roaming charges while still receiving calls/texts on your usual number.
What APN and networks does the Marquesas eSIM use?
We email the APN and supported networks for your Marquesas plan after purchase, and the same details appear on that eSIM in your Plota dashboard. Set mobile data to Plota, turn Data Roaming on for that line, and enter the APN only if your phone requests it or data does not start automatically.
When should I install my Marquesas eSIM?
Install on Wi‑Fi before departure. The plan typically starts when you first connect to a local network in Marquesas, not when you scan the QR. On arrival: enable the Plota line, set it for mobile data, and turn Data Roaming on.
