Travelling with an eSIM

An eSIM is the digital version of the plastic SIM cards traditionally used in mobile phones, as a piece of hardware that sits inside your phone. An eSIM is software that allows you to instantly download a SIM to your phone, enabling you to connect to a local mobile network almost anywhere in the world. 

Choose the plan that works best for you. Whether it is a local (country), regional (continent) or global plan, after purchase you will receive a QR code and detailed instructions. You will need to scan the QR code (internet - wifi access required), download the eSIM to your phone. Go to your settings and switch SIM cards by selecting the new eSIM.  

We recommend that you download and install your eSIM just before travel, and when you have a Wi-Fi connection. 

Prices vary based on the plan you choose, with options for local, regional, or global coverage. eSIMs are available starting at €3. 

More and more phones are compatible with eSIM. All iPhones released after the iPhone X support eSIM. For brands like Samsung or Google, it's simple: if your phone is relatively new, it will support eSIMs.

Yes, absolutely. One of the benefits of an eSIM is that you can have multiple plans on your phone at any time and switch between them instantly depending on where you are and which plan you want to use. 

Please note: Some devices will limit the number of eSIMs you can store on your phone at any one time. You may need to remove an old eSIM to use a new one.
