What is an eSIM

The SIM card, minus the card

Same job as the plastic SIM you're used to, but digital. You buy a plan, scan a QR code and your phone downloads it in a minute.

  • 1

    Built into your phone

    An eSIM is a chip soldered inside the phone. You download a plan to it instead of inserting a card.

  • 2

    Runs next to your SIM

    Your physical SIM keeps your number for calls, texts and WhatsApp while the eSIM handles data abroad.

  • 3

    Keep several, use one

    Most phones store several eSIM plans. Switch between them in Settings, no tray or pin needed.

How it works

From search to signal in three steps

  1. 01

    Choose a plan

    Search your destination and pick the data and validity that fit the trip. Regional and global plans cover multi-country routes.

  2. 02

    Install by QR code

    Your eSIM arrives instantly with a QR code and step-by-step instructions for iPhone and Android. Install it before you fly.

  3. 03

    Land and connect

    The plan starts when the eSIM first reaches a supported network. Keep your home number for calls and texts.

Why travellers switch

Everything a trip needs, nothing it doesn't

The parts of mobile data abroad that used to be a hassle, handled for you.

Two lines, one phone

Your home SIM keeps calls, texts and WhatsApp. The eSIM quietly takes over mobile data while you're away.

Share with hotspot

Tether a laptop or tablet on plans that allow it. Each plan says so up front.

Top up in a tap

Running low? Add data or renew from your dashboard, or switch on auto-renew.

One plan, many countries

Regional and global plans keep you online across borders without swapping eSIMs at every stop.

Alerts before you run out

We notify you at 50, 80, 90 and 100% of your data, and before the plan expires.

Pay your way

Card, bank transfer, crypto or your wallet balance. Checkout is handled by regulated processors.

Why an eSIM

Roaming was built for a different era

An eSIM is a digital SIM your phone already supports. You add a data plan for where you're going, and your physical SIM stays put.

Trip planner

Tell us where you're going. We'll work out the data.

Add the countries and dates of your trip and we'll say whether one regional plan covers it or you need a plan per stop, and roughly how much data your days online will take.

Device compatibility

Does my phone support eSIM?

Most phones from the last few years do. Check in ten seconds, and make sure your phone is carrier-unlocked.

  • Dial

    *#06#

    If an EID number appears, your phone has an eSIM chip.

  • iPhone

    Settings → General → About

    Look for a Digital SIM or EID line.

  • Android

    Settings → Connections → SIM manager

    An “Add eSIM” option means it's supported.

In development

A local number, anywhere you work

International virtual numbers for verification codes, client calls and staying reachable abroad. We're choosing a provider now; numbers will go on sale once a real carrier integration is live.

  • Numbers in multiple countries
  • SMS and voice, depending on the carrier
  • Monthly billing with renewal

For digital nomads

Your office is wherever the signal is

Built for people who work from Lisbon in spring and Bali by autumn. Fewer plan changes, clearer usage, no surprises.

Move between countries freely

Regional and global plans so a visa run or a new base doesn't mean a new SIM.

See what you've used

Usage, remaining data and expiry in one dashboard, with alerts at 50, 80, 90 and 100%.

Top up before it runs out

Renew or auto-renew from your wallet so a client call never drops mid-sentence.

Business connectivity

Set up a business account, invite your team and buy eSIMs from one company wallet.

FAQ

Questions before you fly

Will my phone work with an eSIM?

Most iPhones from the XS onwards, recent Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy models, and many other Android phones support eSIM. Your phone must also be carrier-unlocked. We'll show a compatibility check before you pay.

When does my plan start?

Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a supported network at your destination, not when you buy or install it. Install before you travel and switch it on when you land.

Can I keep my WhatsApp and home number?

Yes. The eSIM only handles data. Your physical SIM stays in the phone, so your number, WhatsApp and iMessage keep working.

Can I use my phone as a hotspot?

On most plans, yes. Each plan shows whether hotspot sharing is allowed.

What if I run out of data?

You'll get alerts as you approach your limit. You can top up or renew from your dashboard, or switch on auto-renew so it happens automatically.

What happens if my eSIM can't be issued?

Orders are only completed once the network provider confirms your eSIM. If that fails, you won't lose your payment: we retry, and if it still can't be issued, we refund you.

Land connected on your next trip.
