What is a travel eSIM, and when is it useful?

A travel eSIM is a digital mobile profile for data. On a compatible phone, you can install it without replacing a plastic SIM card. That makes it useful when you need mobile internet abroad while keeping your regular SIM in the device.

Check before you travel

First, confirm that your phone supports eSIM and is unlocked for use with another network. Then choose your destination and a data package that matches how you travel. Check the validity period, the data allowance and whether you can top up if your plans change.

Set up and stay connected

Install the eSIM while you have a stable internet connection. In your phone settings, select which SIM should provide mobile data. Your existing SIM can stay active for its usual purposes. A data-only eSIM does not add a traditional phone number; calls through messaging apps depend on your data connection.
