What’s an eSIM? - Digital SIM 101Updated 6 days ago

💡 What is an eSIM and how does it work?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a small digital chip built right into your phone, tablet, or smartwatch.
Unlike traditional plastic SIM cards that you have to wrestle into your device’s tiny tray, an eSIM lives inside your device, no shipping, no plastic, no swapping cards at the airport.

It’s 100% digital: you simply buy a plan, scan a QR code, and bam! 💥 You’re connected within minutes.

🧭 Check first: Make sure your device is unlocked and eSIM compatible.
You can view our full list of compatible devices here.

⚙️ How does it work?

It’s super simple, just three steps away from being connected worldwide 🌍

1. Check compatibility
Confirm your phone is eSIM-ready and unlocked (not restricted to a specific carrier).

2. Purchase and receive
Buy your eSIM plan online and we’ll send it straight to your email within 60 seconds.
(Don’t forget to check your spam folder - sometimes we hide in there 👀).

3.  Install and activate
Scan the QR code or follow the step-by-step instructions in your email.
You can activate it right away or wait until you land at your destination.

✅ That’s it! You’re ready to explore, post, and navigate without searching for SIM kiosks or dealing with expensive roaming fees.

💎 Why choose an eSIM?

 Quick & easy: Get connected in minutes - no need to wait for a delivery or visit a store.
Secure & built-in: Since it’s already part of your device, you can’t lose it or damage it.
Eco-friendly: No extra plastic, packaging, or shipping - better for the planet.
Cost-effective: Usually cheaper than roaming and often even less than local SIMs.
️ Travel-friendly: Switch between countries and data plans without ever swapping a card.
