FAQ

What is a travel eSIM?

A travel eSIM is a digital SIM you download to your phone to get mobile data abroad without swapping your physical SIM. You buy a data plan for a country or region, scan a QR code or install it from an app, and activate it when you arrive.

How do I choose the right travel eSIM?

Start with your trip length and how much data you use. For short trips, compare the price per GB; for long stays or heavy use, compare unlimited plans by price per day and check their speed limits. Then check coverage and whether you need hotspot or calls.

Is a travel eSIM cheaper than roaming?

Outside your operator's home zone, usually yes, often by a wide margin per GB. Inside the EU, EU roaming rules apply to EU contracts, so an eSIM is mainly useful for extra data or non-EU contracts.

Do I keep my phone number?

Yes. Your main SIM stays in your phone for calls and SMS if you want, while the travel eSIM handles data. Messaging apps such as WhatsApp keep working with your usual number.
