Why do you need to top up ByteSIM eSIM?
ByteSIM offers prepaid eSIM data plans designed for travelers and remote users who need flexible, contract-free connectivity. Unlike traditional SIM cards, ByteSIM eSIMs do not auto-renew—so when your current plan expires or you run out of data, you’ll need to manually top up.
Here’s why you might need to recharge your ByteSIM eSIM:
-
You’re extending your trip and need more data
-
You want to upgrade to a new data plan without switching SIMs
With ByteSIM’s seamless top-up system, you can add data anytime, from anywhere—no need to reinstall a new eSIM profile or scan a new QR code.

FAQs about ByteSIM eSIM top-up
What should I do if the “Top Up” button is missing?
Not all ByteSIM data plans support top-ups. If the “Top Up” button does not appear, it means the current plan does not allow recharging. In this case, you may need to purchase a new eSIM to get additional data or extend your usage period.
Can I top up my eSIM to refresh the coverage?
Unfortunately, top-ups are only valid for the same destination as your original ByteSIM eSIM. For instance, if your current plan is for China, any additional data or days you purchase must be for that same China plan.
Can I top up my ByteSIM eSIM after it expires?
Yes, you can still top up your ByteSIM eSIM within 30 days after it expires. After this grace period, the eSIM will become inactive, and you will need to purchase a new eSIM.
Can I reload a ByteSIM eSIM?
Absolutely. You can extend your ByteSIM eSIM by adding extra days and data to your current plan. This extends the eSIM’s active period.
Can I top up my eSIM multiple times?
Yes, you can. For data plans that support top-ups, there is no limit to how many times you can recharge. You’re free to top up as often as needed.
