Sometimes, you just want to take a break from travel, from work, or even from your mobile data. And that’s totally fine.
If you’re using an eSIM from Airhub, you don’t need to delete it or uninstall anything when you’re not using it. You can simply turn it off. It takes just a few taps on your phone.
Whether you’re done with your trip to Japan or just switching to Wi-Fi for a while, here’s how to turn off your Airhub eSIM without breaking anything or losing your plan.
Wait, What Happens When I Turn Off My eSIM?
Turning off your eSIM doesn’t delete it. It just stops it from being active for now. You can turn it back on anytime.
Think of it like switching off mobile data or airplane mode. You’re not uninstalling it — you’re just pausing it.
This is useful if:
– You’ve landed back home after using your Japan eSIM
– You’re switching between physical SIM and eSIM
– You want to stop using mobile data and stick to Wi-Fi for a bit

Don’t Delete It Unless You’re Sure
Once your plan expires or your trip ends (maybe you were using a Japan eSIM for a two-week trip?), you may wonder: should I delete the eSIM?
Only delete it if you’re 100% done with it.
If there’s a chance you’ll use Airhub again — maybe another trip to Japan, or another country — it’s better to keep it turned off instead of deleting. That way, it’s easier to reactivate later or refer back to settings.
Can I Still Keep the App?
Yes. Please do!
Our Airhub app (for both iOS and Android) helps you check your data, download new eSIM plans, manage your account, and contact support. Keeping it installed helps for your next trip.
So even if you’ve finished using your eSIM for Japan, you can explore more options right inside the app — no need to uninstall or start over.
