the easy affordable travel eSIM.

An eSIM is a SIM you download instead of insert. Scan a QR code and your phone gets a second line for data, while your own SIM stays in. No plastic card, no store visit, no waiting for shipping.

Most phones since 2018: iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and many other Androids. Your phone must be carrier-unlocked. To be sure, look for an “Add eSIM” option in Settings before you buy.

Less than most people expect. Navigation runs about 5–15MB an hour and a text message about 1KB, so maps and messaging are never the problem. Short video is: Reels and TikTok use roughly 0.9–1.8GB an hour, so an hour a day for a week is 6–12GB on its own. As a rule of thumb a week of travel takes 2–3GB for light users, 4–7GB for moderate and 9–15GB for heavy, and a 10GB plan covers a light or moderate week comfortably. Three kinds of traveler go past it: people who watch video on the move, people who tether a laptop, and people staying somewhere without Wi-Fi — if that is you, start at 20GB.

Your eSIM is delivered only by email, so a typo would mean no eSIM. We send a 6-digit code that is valid for 10 minutes. Apple Pay, Google Pay and Link users skip this step.

Your eSIM is sent to your checkout email within minutes of payment. It is also shown on the order confirmation page and on the Check order page. If it is not ready within 1 hour of payment, we refund the order in full automatically, no action needed.

Check your spam or junk folder first. Then open our contact page, choose "I have an order and need help" and verify your email: it shows the delivery status of your order and lets you resend the eSIM email instantly. If the order is still Processing 1 hour after payment, it is refunded automatically.

No. A failed or unfinished payment does not charge you. The order is cancelled automatically if payment is not completed within 60 minutes. You can simply place a new order, or use the Retry payment link if we send you one.

Delivery is instant, so an order cannot be cancelled once the activation details are sent. Refunds are reviewed case by case through the contact form, only for eSIMs that were never installed and requested within 14 days of purchase, and some carriers do not allow refunds at all. Approved refunds go back to the original payment method within a few business days.

Install at home on Wi-Fi before you travel. Most plans only start counting days when the eSIM first connects at your destination, so leave the eSIM line off until you land. Most plans must be activated within a set period after purchase (often 60 days), so buy within a month or two of your trip.

Yes. The eSIM sits next to your regular SIM, so calls and texts still reach you on your own number. Only the data goes through the new line.

Hotspot rules vary by plan. Check the individual product page rather than assuming every plan allows tethering.

Many plans can be topped up. A top-up is applied to the eSIM already on your phone, so there is nothing new to scan or install. If your plan does not offer top-ups, buy a new plan for the same destination. Either way it is a few dollars, not a ruined trip: on every destination we compare, two of our 10GB plans still cost less than a single 30-day “unlimited” plan from Airalo.

No. The QR code works once, on one device. Deleting the eSIM from your phone removes it permanently, so do not remove it until the plan has ended.
