The most common questions
What is an eSIM and how does it work?
An eSIM is a digital SIM card built into your phone. You buy a data plan online, scan a QR code, and you're connected — no plastic SIM, no swapping. Almost every iPhone since the XS and most Android flagships since 2019 support eSIMs.
Is an eSIM cheaper than international roaming?
Almost always. Roaming from your home carrier typically costs $5–10 per day. An eSIM for the same trip is often a fraction of that, with more data.
Can I keep my regular number while using an eSIM?
Yes — your phone runs both your home SIM (for calls/SMS) and the travel eSIM (for data) at the same time. You won't miss texts from home while using local data abroad.
Which eSIM is best for my country?
It depends on trip length and data needs. Browse the destination tiles above — every country page is updated weekly with live pricing and our top picks.
How fast can I activate an eSIM?
Usually under five minutes. You'll buy on the carrier's site, get a QR code by email, scan it from your phone's cellular settings, and you're online.
