A second, digital SIM

An eSIM is a mobile profile stored on the device. You can add a travel data plan without removing your physical SIM.

Install before departure

Set up the profile on a stable connection. Enable its data line at your destination and keep data roaming off on your home SIM.

Check before buying

Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier unlocked. Compare data, validity, included countries and when the plan starts.
