Can esim be installed from abroad?

Hello! I'm a student studying in Toronto, so I have a Canadian address and also a plan with Fizz.

My mom is flying in from overseas and I’m wondering about Fizz eSIMs.

Can she set up/install/activate the Fizz eSIM before she travels (while she is not in Canada), so that it’s ready to go as soon as she lands here?

I understand she won't be able to actually use the service until she arrives, but ideally everything would be installed already and she would just have to turn on the eSIM when she gets off the plane at the airport.

Has anyone done this before? Does it work fine?

    Hi, you can Ask support directly via chat

    Keep in mind if you have funds in account's wallet and roaming is enabled the wallet might be charged automatically before arriving.

    Hi @Elegant_Tangerine
    I don’t see a technical reason why this wouldn’t work, assuming she will be asking for a new number.
    I suggest she try it out and let us know how it goes!
    Cheers,
    Brad
