To obtain a mobile SIM card upon arriving in your study-abroad country, research local telecom providers beforehand. Compare plans for data, calls, and international rates. Ensure your phone is unlocked to accept foreign SIMs.
Visit a provider’s store, kiosk, or authorized retailer at the airport or in the city. Present your passport and proof of enrollment or local address, as required. Choose a prepaid or postpaid plan based on your needs.
Activate the SIM by following the provider’s instructions, which may include online registration. Keep your original SIM safe for emergencies or future use.
