FAQs

Can I use my eSIM to stream or stay entertained?

Many passengers stream onboard. Quality depends on your plan and the offshore network. For video or heavy apps choose 5 GB - 15 GB.

Do I need Internet to activate the eSIM?

You only need the Internet for the initial download. You can activate before boarding no Ferry Wi-Fi required.

Will my connection continue on land?

Absolutely. Your plan transitions smoothly from ferry to port to inland travel.

Is this faster than ferry Wi-Fi?

In most situations yes. Ferry Wi-Fi relies on shared satellite bandwidth. With GigSky you're not sharing a single connection with hundreds of passengers which means more stable speeds.

Does the Ferry eSIM work offshore?

Yes your plan uses networks available along major ferry routes helping you stay connected even when your regular mobile service becomes unavailable.

What if I need more data?

You can top up instantly inside the GigSky app. No need to reinstall an eSIM or change plans.

Is this suitable for remote work?

Many remote workers rely on it during ferry crossings. For video calls or heavier data use choose 5 GB or 15 GB plans.
