What is an eSIM?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card that already lives inside your phone. Unlike a physical SIM, there's no chip to insert: you download a plan and connect right away, from anywhere in the world.

Installation

How do you install it?

The whole process takes under 5 minutes. All you need is your phone and an internet connection.

Buy your plan and get your QR

Pick the plan you need and we'll email you your eSIM's QR code, along with the instructions for your phone's brand.

Install it before you travel

On a stable Wi-Fi connection, scan the QR code from your phone's settings. Your eSIM is installed and stays off until you need it.

Turn it on when you arrive

Switch on your travel eSIM, switch off your main SIM and enable data roaming. That's it: you land connected, no WiFi hunting.

Advantages

Benefits of using an eSIM

More than a digital SIM card: a completely new way to connect.

No surprises on the bill

You buy your plan before you leave and know exactly what you'll pay. No roaming charges landing weeks later.

Local signal the moment you land

Your eSIM connects to the networks of the country you're in, so you browse on local coverage instead of a borrowed connection.

One eSIM, several countries

The same profile works across more than one destination. No buying a new chip at every border, no changing numbers.

Nothing to drop or lose

It lives inside your phone, so there's no plastic to get wet, scratched, or left behind in a hotel room.

Your everyday line stays on

Keep your home SIM and your travel eSIM running at once. You still get your messages without giving up your travel data.

Not just for your phone

Compatible tablets, laptops and watches use eSIM too, so you can connect more than one device with the same technology.
