Land. Scan. Online.
No SIM swap, no roaming bills.

They do the same job. A traditional travel SIM is a plastic card you have posted out and swap into your phone; an eSIM is the same mobile data plan written straight into the phone by scanning a QR code — nothing to ship, nothing to swap, nothing to lose. Every plan sold here is an eSIM.

Most phones released since 2019 do — including iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy S and Z models. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. On iPhone you can check this in Settings → General → About → Carrier Lock, which should read “No SIM restrictions”. Dial *#06# and look for an EID number to confirm.

Once payment is confirmed, your eSIM QR code is usually emailed to you within minutes. You can also find it anytime under “My Orders”, or look it up with your order number and email if you checked out as a guest. To install, display the QR code on another device and scan it, or enter the SM-DP+ address and activation code from the email manually.

Install the eSIM while you still have Wi-Fi, ideally before you fly. The validity period only starts counting once the eSIM connects to a network at your destination, so installing early costs you nothing.

An eSIM whose QR code has not been scanned and installed can be refunded within 7 days of purchase, subject to approval by the upstream supplier. Once scanned and installed it cannot be refunded — at that moment the allocation is issued and taken by the carrier. If you hit signal or connection problems after scanning (force majeure aside), contact support: we pull the carrier's connection and usage records and decide on a refund after reviewing them. A few plans activate the moment payment completes and cannot be refunded at all; those are clearly marked on the product page. Top-ups also cannot be refunded once completed.
