Will my eSIM have signal in Cyprus?

Using your phone in Cyprus: data tips
- Land and switch on: Touch down at Larnaca (LCA) or Paphos (PFO), switch your eSIM line on and check that data roaming is on for it. Your eSIM uses the Epic and Vodafone networks here. Install it on home Wi-Fi before you fly, so setup isn't a job at the arrivals hall.
- Getting around: Bolt is the ride app to download before you fly. Use your eSIM data to book rides in Paphos, Limassol, Ayia Napa, Larnaca or Nicosia.
- Staying in touch: WhatsApp is the messaging app to set up before you go. Your home number stays on for calls and texts, and this guide shows how to keep WhatsApp and your home number working together.
- Near the Green Line: Your phone can switch to networks in the north when you're close to the Green Line. Check your data settings when you cross it.
