Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about choosing and using eSIM coverage

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card built into your device that eliminates the need for a physical SIM card. Instead of inserting a plastic chip, you simply scan a QR code or enter an activation code to connect to a mobile network. eSIM technology is supported by modern smartphones including iPhone XR and newer models, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and many other devices. Once activated, an eSIM functions exactly like a traditional SIM card, providing mobile data connectivity wherever you travel.

Choose based on your destinations: Local eSIM is perfect for single-country trips offering the best rates and fastest speeds. Regional eSIM is ideal for traveling across multiple countries in one continent (like Europe or Asia), eliminating the need to swap SIMs at borders. Global eSIM covers 192+ countries worldwide, perfect for multi-continent trips, digital nomads, or travelers with flexible itineraries. Consider your budget, travel duration, and number of destinations when selecting.

eSIM activation is instant. After completing your purchase, you'll immediately receive a QR code via email. Simply scan the QR code with your phone's camera in your device settings, and your eSIM will be installed within 1-2 minutes. You can install the eSIM before your trip and activate data when you arrive at your destination. No waiting for physical shipping, no visiting stores, and no complicated setup processes.

Yes! eSIMs are perfect for dual SIM functionality. Your device can have both your regular physical SIM (with your home phone number) and an eSIM for travel data simultaneously. You can receive calls and texts on your home number while using the eSIM exclusively for mobile data. This setup is ideal for travelers who want to stay reachable on their home number while avoiding expensive roaming charges for data usage.

If you exhaust your data allowance, you can easily purchase a top-up or new plan directly from our website. Top-ups are instant and don't require a new QR code scan. Alternatively, you can purchase a new eSIM plan if you need more data or want to extend your validity period. We recommend monitoring your data usage through your device settings or our mobile app to avoid unexpected service interruptions during your travels.

eSIM coverage depends on local network infrastructure in your destination. Our eSIM plans connect to major local carriers in each country, providing the same coverage area as physical SIM cards from those carriers. In major cities and tourist areas, you'll typically have excellent 4G/5G connectivity. Rural and remote areas may have limited or slower connectivity depending on the country. Check the coverage maps for your specific destination before purchasing.

Most devices allow you to use personal hotspot functionality to share your eSIM data connection with other devices like laptops, tablets, or travel companions' phones. However, be aware that hotspot usage consumes your data allowance more quickly. Some eSIM plans may have restrictions on tethering or hotspot usage, so check your specific plan details. If you need data for multiple devices, consider purchasing separate eSIM plans or choosing a plan with a larger data allowance.

eSIMs provide local data rates by connecting directly to local networks in your destination country, while roaming means your home carrier charges you for using partner networks abroad. Roaming costs can be 4-10 times more expensive than local eSIM rates. eSIMs also offer better control with fixed pricing - you pay upfront for a specific amount of data with no surprise bills. Additionally, eSIM speeds are typically faster since you're using local networks directly rather than through roaming agreements.

Yes, eSIMs are extremely secure. The eSIM profile is encrypted and cannot be physically removed or stolen like a traditional SIM card. All data transmission follows the same security protocols as physical SIM cards. Since eSIM activation is digital, there's no risk of purchasing counterfeit or tampered SIM cards from unknown vendors. Your personal information and mobile usage remain protected by industry-standard encryption protocols used by carriers worldwide.

It depends on your plan validity. Some eSIMs are single-use and expire after the validity period ends or data is consumed. Global and regional eSIMs often allow top-ups, meaning you can recharge the same eSIM for future trips without needing to scan a new QR code. Local eSIMs typically expire after use but can be easily repurchased for future visits to the same country. Check your specific plan details to understand its reusability and expiration terms.
