How to Change Your eSIM Plan — The Right Way with RedDogFish

  • Let’s clear this up once and for all: changing your eSIM doesn’t mean deleting or reinstalling it.
    With RedDogFish, your eSIM is your personal travel key — one installation, endless adventures.
  • Unlike traditional mobile SIMs or some “multi-use” eSIMs, RedDogFish operates differently — smarter, simpler, and built for real travelers.

One eSIM, Many Journeys

  • When you install a RedDogFish eSIM, it can stay on your device as long as you keep adding or top-up plans, it will keep extending and there is no limit to extension.
    That means you don’t need to reinstall or re-scan anything every time you travel — your eSIM remains active and ready for new plans as long as you keep using it.
  • Your RedDogFish eSIM can host Unlimited data plans.
    When you land in a new country, your phone automatically detects the network, and your active plan starts right away.
    • No reinstallations. No replacements. Just seamless switching between destinations.

What “Changing eSIM” Really Means

  • If you’re using RedDogFish, you never “change” your eSIM — you simply add or switch plans on the same digital card.
  • Here’s how it works:

    2. Add new plans anytime.
      Log in to your RedDogFish account, choose a new country or region, and buy the plan you need — 3 GB for Italy, 10 GB for the US, or 1 GB global data.

    If Your Plan Doesn’t Activate Automatically

  • When you land in your destination country, your RedDogFish plan will normally activate on its own as soon as your phone connects to a supported local network.
  • But if, for any reason, your plan doesn’t activate automatically, you can turn it on manually — it only takes a moment:

    • How to manually activate your plan:

    1. Open your RedDogFish account in your browser.
    2. Go to My Plans.
    3. Open the specific plan for your destination.
    4. Tap Activate Plan.
  • Your data will start working immediately once you’re connected to the local network.
    • warning

  • Never activate your plan before you actually arrive in the destination country.
    If you activate it while still at home or in transit, the plan will start counting down immediately, even if you haven’t used any data yet.
  • So remember:
    Only activate when you’re physically in the country.
    If possible, wait until your phone picks up a local signal — then check if activation happened automatically.
    Use manual activation only if necessary.
  • This small step ensures you get every day you paid for — and nothing goes to waste.

Why You Should Never Delete Your RedDogFish eSIM

  • Your RedDogFish eSIM is single-installation only.
    Once deleted, it can’t be reinstalled or transferred to another phone.
  • This is intentional — it keeps your data secure and ensures the network recognizes your unique profile for future plans.
    • If you plan to change your phone, make sure to finish all your active plans before upgrading your device. When you switch, simply buy and install a new RedDogFish eSIM on the new phone.
  • Think of it like your personal digital passport — delete it, and you’ll need a new one.

How Long Does My eSIM Last?

  • You’ll only need to install a new RedDogFish eSIM if:
    • You’ve changed your phone or deleted the old eSIM.
    • Your eSIM has expired (more than 12 months since your last plan).
    • You want to start fresh with a new profile for security or convenience.
  • Otherwise — one RedDogFish eSIM is all you’ll ever need.
