An eSIM is a digital SIM card. You install it on your phone before you travel and land abroad with working internet — no hunting for a shop at the airport, and your home SIM stays where it is.

Frequently asked questions
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your device. Instead of swapping a physical card, you scan a QR code or install through an app, and the line is added to your phone.
How do I know if my phone supports eSIM?
Most iPhones from XS onwards, and recent Samsung Galaxy S and Google Pixel models, support eSIM. The device also has to be carrier-unlocked. Check with the provider before buying.
When should I install the eSIM?
Most providers recommend installing before you fly, while you have a stable connection. Validity usually starts only when the plan connects to a network at your destination, but this varies by provider.
Can I use hotspot?
It depends on the plan. Not every plan allows tethering. We show this on every result, including when the answer is no.
Can I keep my home SIM active?
Yes. The eSIM is added alongside your existing line, so you keep receiving calls and SMS on your home number while browsing on the eSIM. Turn off data roaming on the home line to avoid charges.
Does this site sell eSIMs?
No. We are a comparison tool only. Purchase, installation and support all happen directly with the provider you choose.
