What to compare before you choose
Price for your exact trip. Compare the same data and the same number of days for your destination, not headline prices.
Coverage for every stop. For multi-country trips, check the regional bundle includes every country on your route.
What happens when data runs out. Check whether you can top up the same eSIM, and whether unlimited plans slow down after heavy use.
Network and speed. Look at which networks and speeds (4G/5G) the plan uses in your destination.
Your phone supports eSIM. Make sure your phone is eSIM-compatible and not carrier-locked before you buy.
Questions
Can I keep my old eSIM and add SoloSim?
Yes. Most eSIM phones store several eSIMs at once. Install SoloSim alongside your other eSIMs and choose which one to use for mobile data in your phone's settings — nothing needs deleting.
Can I switch to SoloSim in the middle of a trip?
Yes. Buy a plan, install the eSIM over Wi-Fi or your current data, then set SoloSim as the line for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it. Any data left on your old eSIM stays there until it expires.
Will my phone number change?
No. SoloSim plans are for mobile data. Your usual SIM keeps your number for calls and texts, and WhatsApp and iMessage keep working with your normal number.
