An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card that allows you to install and activate a mobile plan on your device without needing a physical SIM card. An eSIM works the same way as a physical SIM card does. The primary difference is that eSIMs are built into a device’s hardware and are not removable like physical SIM cards are.

eSIMs are great for travel because they provide a convenient, cost-effective way to stay connected. They are significantly cheaper than traditional carrier roaming fees, saving travellers a ton of money. They eliminate the hassle of swapping physical SIM cards, so you never have to worry about losing your primary SIM. Plus, eSIMs automatically switch between carrier networks, so you have constant access to a strong, reliable internet connection in the countries you visit.

Most newer devices support eSIM technology. If you are not sure whether or not your phone supports eSIM, you can check using our eSIM device checker.

The cost of an eSIM varies depending on how much data you need and the country/region you are visiting. Plans start as low as $4.50 for 1GB of data with aloSIM, and go up depending on the size of the package.

You can install an eSIM anytime leading up to your trip. It takes less than two minutes, and we’ll show you exactly how to prepare your phone for international travel. Your eSIM will automatically activate when you arrive at your destination.

An eSIM can only be installed on one device, and then it’s yours to keep forever. Use it on this trip, and all future trips to the same destination!

Our eSIMs are data-only, so they provide fast internet access. But all of our travel plans include a free international phone number from our sister app, Hushed — perfect for free calling and texting anywhere in the world.
