Q: Why do I need to enable data roaming? Will I be charged extra?

No extra charges — it's safe to turn on. Coral eSIM connects to partner networks at your destination via roaming, so data roaming must be enabled on the Coral eSIM line for it to work. The "roaming = huge bill" fear applies to roaming on your home carrier's line . With Coral eSIM you only ever pay the plan price — there is no usage-based billing. Turn ON : data roaming on the Coral eSIM line Keep OFF : mobile data on your home line (to avoid surprise charges) More in our roaming vs eSIM comparison .
