Search your destination. Compare coverage, data allowance, and validity before you buy.

Installation guide

  1. Connect to a stable Wi-Fi network. Open Settings, then Cellular (or Mobile Data).
  2. Choose Add eSIM and use the QR code from your account. You can also enter the installation details manually.
  3. Follow the onscreen instructions and give the eSIM a memorable label, like “Travel”.
  4. At your destination, select the travel eSIM for mobile data and follow the roaming and activation instructions provided with your plan.

Menus and installation options vary by device and software version. Keep the QR code private, and don't delete an installed eSIM unless your provider asks you to.

The practical stuff

Know before you go.

Can I keep my regular SIM?
Compatible phones can keep your regular SIM alongside a travel eSIM. Review which line is used for data, calls, and messages to avoid unwanted charges from your regular carrier.
Does the plan include calls and texts?
Choose a plan based on its listed features. These travel plans provide mobile data; don’t assume a local phone number, voice calls, or SMS are included. Internet-based messaging apps can use your data connection.
When does my plan start?
Validity rules vary by plan and provider. Read the instructions supplied with your eSIM before installing or connecting.
Can I install it on the phone I’m using now?
Open your account on another screen to scan the QR code, or use the manual installation details when available. Your phone may also offer other installation options.
My eSIM isn’t ready yet. What now?
Your order page checks its progress while preparation is underway. Return to My eSIMs to see the current status. If it needs attention, contact support with your order reference.
