Onyx works in a clear order: choose service, activate it, manage the account, and add capabilities when you need them.
The product removes the usual split between travel data, phone numbers, identity, payments, and communication. You start with connection. The account grows from there.
Step 1: Build Your Plan
Choose where you need service. Select the data allowance that fits your expected usage. Add an Onyx number if calls or SMS matter for your trip or work.
If you add a number, the plan includes number features. The quote shows the recurring subscription before checkout.
Step 2: Check Out
Review the plan before payment. The product shows the region, data amount, subscription terms, and any number features selected.
The goal is clarity before commitment. Know what you are buying, where it works, and what happens next.
Step 3: Activate eSIM Service
After purchase, Onyx guides eSIM activation on compatible devices.
Activation follows the install path shown in the product: QR code, device handoff, or supported manual setup. Once active, the plan becomes part of the Onyx account and is managed from the app.
Step 4: Manage The Connection
The account shows connection state, plan status, usage, subscription details, and support paths.
If something needs attention, Onyx makes the next action clear: finish activation, check device settings, review coverage, update the plan, or open support.
Step 5: Add Identity
Onyx ID gives the account a stable profile and permission model.
It supports handles, connected apps, trust states, verification, and consent as those features become available. The practical value is simple: you do not need to rebuild identity for every Onyx service or approved partner.
Step 6: Use Payments And Communication
Wallet, card, FX, chat, and communities add utility where supported.
These features are not the starting point. They work best when they sit beside a real mobile account. That keeps the experience grounded in access, reachability, and trust.
Step 7: Connect Apps
Onyx Connect lets approved apps request scoped access to Onyx ID.
A connected app can ask for profile, permission, or verification context. You decide what to grant. Onyx keeps the account intact.
What Stays Simple
You do not need to understand carrier supply, verification routing, payment rails, or app authorization mechanics to use Onyx.
You need to know what is active, what is available, what permission is being requested, and what action to take.
