Everything worth knowing before you install.
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan without using a physical SIM card. It's built into your device and can be programmed with your carrier information.
Most modern smartphones support eSIM, including iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Check our Supported Devices page for a complete list.
After purchase, your QR code is on your order page and in your confirmation email. Scan it from a second screen, tap "Install on this iPhone" on iOS 17.4+, or enter the details manually — your eSIM will be installed in minutes.
Yes! eSIM works alongside your physical SIM. You can use the eSIM for data while keeping your regular SIM for calls and texts with your home number.
We recommend installing your eSIM before you travel, but activating it only when you arrive at your destination. Most plans start counting from the first data connection.
Your connection stops when the data is used up. You can buy another plan for the same destination on our website — it arrives on your order page just like the first one.
