Travelling to USA from EU prepaid esim card
Hi! Im travelling to Florida from EU in a couple of weeks. And I was wondering if I can buy a prepaid eSIM in the T-mobile app and have it work on my phone? Can you pick a time and date when you want it to activate? Or do I have to do everything once im at the airport?
¡Gracias!

Most major airports have a T-Mobile store in them. Orlando did the last time I was there. I don't know about Melborne, Miami, or the others. As already mentioned, the SIM needs to be activated while connected to a T-Mobile USA tower. If the airport you are flying into has a T-Mobile store. They can get you setup very quickly and adding funds for the plam can all be done before you leave the store, which will take less time than it takes for your luggage to make it to baggage claim.
Sims need to be activated on Tmobile USA towers.

Okay. It should work buying it online right? Or do I have to go a tmobile shop?
You can buy it online but it can't be activated until it connects to a Tmobile tower.
