You may need to remove an old eSIM to activate a new one.

You can have several plans on your smartphone and switch between them instantly, depending on where you are and the plan you wish to use.

The validity period will start when you install your plan or when you arrive at your destination, depending on the provider. Your plan details will state when the validity period starts.

When you return home, it only takes a few seconds to switch back to your existing plan. Simply go to your phone settings and select your primary SIM card.
