Answers to common questions about eSIMs and our service
eSIM Basics
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card built directly into your device. It lets you activate a mobile data plan without a physical SIM card. Simply scan a QR code or tap a link, and you're connected. Perfect for travelers who want to avoid expensive roaming fees.
Most smartphones released after 2018 support eSIM: iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer. Go to Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) - if you see "Add eSIM" or "Add Data Plan", your device is compatible.
Your phone must be unlocked to use a travel eSIM. Contact your carrier to request an unlock before your trip. Once unlocked, you can install eSIMs from any provider.
Installation & Activation
You have two easy options:
Direct Link (Easiest): Tap the iPhone or Android button in your email or account. It opens your phone settings automatically - just confirm the installation.
QR Code: Open the QR code on another screen and scan it with your phone camera in Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM.
Then enable data roaming and you're ready!

Limited plans: Purchase a top-up from your account. The extra data is added to your existing eSIM instantly.
Unlimited plans: Your daily allowance resets every 24 hours, so you never truly run out.
