Frequently asked questions

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is simply a digital version of a traditional SIM card. Instead of inserting a physical card into your phone, it is downloaded directly to your device in just a few minutes. It allows you to connect to mobile networks and use data, calls and messages. The main difference is that no physical card is required: everything is managed from your mobile device. When used for travel, it is known as a travel eSIM and allows you to use mobile data abroad without paying costly roaming charges.

You will not receive a physical SIM card. Your eSIM is delivered digitally and can be installed directly from the app.

Once you complete your purchase:

  • You will see your eSIM details on screen.
  • You can install it with a single click or by following the step-by-step guide.
  • The eSIM will be downloaded automatically to your device.
