Travel eSIM

Connected before you're through passport control.

Install a data plan on your phone before you leave home, and it activates the moment you land — no kiosk, no queue, no swapping a physical SIM card.

Works alongside your regular SIM, so you keep your home number for calls and texts.

Why travelers switch to eSIM

No physical card

Install digitally in a few minutes from any app store

Set it up early

Install before departure, activate only on arrival

Keep your number

Your home SIM stays in place for calls and texts

Why an eSIM instead of roaming

Skip the roaming charges and the SIM kiosk

No roaming bill shock

You buy a fixed data allowance upfront, so there's no surprise charge waiting when you get home.

Coverage in 190+ countries

Regional and country-specific plans mean you're covered whether it's one stop or a multi-country trip.

Keep your original number

Your physical SIM stays active for calls and SMS, while data runs through the eSIM.

How it works

Set up once, before you fly

1. Choose your destination and data size

Pick a plan by country or region, and a data allowance that matches your trip length.

2. Install the eSIM via QR code

Scan the code sent to your email using your phone's settings — takes about two minutes on a compatible phone.

3. Activate on arrival

The plan starts counting down only once it detects a network at your destination, not at install time.

Pricing

What affects the price

eSIM plans are priced by data allowance and destination coverage. A single-country plan for a short trip costs less than a multi-region plan or one with a larger data cap, and validity periods usually range from 7 to 30 days.

Common questions

Does my phone support eSIM?

Most phones released from 2019 onward support eSIM, including recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and Google Pixel models. Check your phone's settings under "Mobile" or "Cellular" for an eSIM option before buying.

Can I install it before I travel?

Yes — the eSIM profile can be installed at home. Most plans only start counting down data or validity once they detect a network at your destination.

Will I lose my home phone number?

No. Your physical SIM stays active for calls and texts on your home number, while the eSIM handles data separately.

What if I run out of data?

You can usually top up the same plan or buy an additional one from the app without needing a new QR code.
