What is an eSIM?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM that’s built into your phone. It works exactly like a physical SIM card — connecting you to a mobile network — but instead of inserting a plastic card, you activate it by scanning a QR code.

Why use an eSIM for travel?

Section titled “Why use an eSIM for travel?”
  1. No physical SIM to carry or swap. Your eSIM activates digitally. Keep your home SIM in its slot.
  2. Instant activation. Scan a QR code and you’re connected in under 60 seconds.
  3. Multiple plans on one phone. Most phones support multiple eSIM profiles, so you can have plans for different countries ready to go.
  4. No risk of losing a tiny card. Your eSIM lives inside your phone’s software.
