eSIM help

Answers to common eSIM questions — what an eSIM is, how to install and activate one, device compatibility, data usage and troubleshooting.

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone — no physical card to swap. Install it as a QR code or one-tap link and you are online.

Do I need an account to browse plans?

No. You can browse everything signed out — an account is only needed at checkout, so your QR codes and receipts have somewhere to live.

How do I install my eSIM?

After purchase you get a QR code. On Wi-Fi, scan it from another device (or use the one-tap link on the same phone), then enable the new data line in Settings.

Is my phone compatible?

Most phones from 2019 onward support eSIM. Use the device checker on this page — it takes ten seconds and saves a refund request later.

Can I keep using my regular SIM too?

Yes. The eSIM carries data only; calls and texts keep working on your home SIM. Just make sure data roaming is off on the home line.

What if I run out of data?

Top up from My eSIMs in two taps — added data shares the current expiry date. With low data alerts on, we warn you at 80% and 95%.
