eSIM vouchers in the pre-arrival pack of a course

Offer data next to the airport transfer when the student books, send the one-time code with the pre-arrival email, and keep SIM packs at reception for phones without eSIM.

Short answer: A pre-arrival pack starts with the course booking and ends at reception. The student books data next to the transfer, the code arrives with the pre-arrival email, and reception keeps SIM packs for the phones without eSIM.

  • Booked with the course
  • The code before the flight
  • SIM packs at reception
The flow

Booked with the course. Online at arrivals.

Four steps from the booking to the welcome day. Pick one to see it.

01 / Step

Offer data at booking

Add a travel eSIM to the course extras, next to the airport transfer and the insurance. The student books it with the course, so the pre-arrival email can deliver it.

How to run it.

01Set up

  • Add a travel eSIM to the course extras, next to the airport transfer and the insurance.
  • Agree the plan sizes for each destination and course length with the RoamWorks team.
  • Write the install steps once, in the language of each market.

02Before arrival

  • Send the one-time code with the pre-arrival email, one to two weeks before the course.
  • Send a code for a student under 18 to a parent or the group leader, never to the student.
  • Remind the student to install on Wi-Fi the day before the flight.

03At reception

  • Keep a few SIM packs for phones without eSIM.
  • Check that the phone is unlocked and has a SIM slot before the sale.
  • Check the local rules for SIM sales.

04Support

  • Students install with the steps in the email.
  • Choose the support split: your welcome team answers first, and RoamWorks handles activation.

Good to know
  • Data only, with no local number. A student who needs one for forms or a bank still gets a local line.
  • Offer data in the booking, not in a marketing email. The pre-arrival email then delivers what the student booked.
  • In the EU, students with an EU SIM roam like at home, so lead with students from outside the EU.
  • Confirm the consent rules for junior courses and the tax terms before launch.

Answers

Before you choose

Short answers to the common questions. The partner agreement sets the final terms.

Last updated 28 October 2026 · Reviewed by Roamworks
Does it replace a local number?

No. The plan is data only. It covers the weeks before a local line, or a short course with no local line at all.

What if a phone has no eSIM?

Reception hands over a SIM pack on the welcome day, after a phone check. A locked phone gets neither, so point the student to the school Wi-Fi.

Can parents buy for a student under 18?

Yes. The code goes to the parent or the group leader, not to the student. Follow your phone rules for junior courses.

When does the code arrive?

With the pre-arrival email, one to two weeks before the course. The student redeems it and installs on Wi-Fi the day before the flight.
