What is an eSIM?

2 min read

An eSIM is a SIM card built into your phone. Instead of a plastic card, you download a plan, and your phone connects to a local network when you land.

1

Nothing to post or swap

You buy online and install in a minute. Your home SIM stays in your phone.

2

Data only

Our plans give you mobile data. Calls and messages work through apps like WhatsApp and FaceTime.

3

Keep several

iPhones can store around 10 eSIMs and most Android phones 5 to 7. One or two can be on at the same time.
