Install the eSIM at home
Installation needs an internet connection. Doing it from your living room is easier than from an airport hall where Wi-Fi often demands a local number. Once installed, the eSIM simply waits.
Check your phone's compatibility
Not every phone handles eSIM, and some devices bought through an operator stay locked. Our Compatibility page answers model by model, and if in doubt a real person checks for you before you buy.

It is the most profitable precaution of the trip. It saves you in dead zones, and it saves data throughout the stay.
Set up your two lines
Mobile data on the eSIM, roaming on for the eSIM, data off on your usual line. Three settings, done once, and you land connected with no unexpected bill.
Does the eSIM start counting down when I install it?
No. Validity starts at the first connection to a network in the destination country, not at installation.
What if my flight is postponed?
Nothing starts until the eSIM connects on the ground. A delay does not consume your plan.
