How it works
Step-by-step installation →Choose the country and plan
Data, days and the exact price in pounds are shown before you pay. Nothing switches on by itself.
Pay by card in pounds
On a Stripe page. The seller is based in the USA, so your card must allow online payments to sellers abroad.
Get the QR code by email
Scan it at home on Wi-Fi before you fly. On most plans, the days start when the eSIM first connects abroad; check the activation rule shown on your plan.
Does my phone support eSIM?
iPhone XS, XR and newer support eSIM, except some models sold in China mainland, Hong Kong and Macao. Before you buy, check Settings → General → About: “No SIM Restrictions” next to Network Provider Lock means it is not locked to one network.
Many Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, OnePlus and Motorola models do, but not every regional variant. Look for an option to add an eSIM in the SIM settings.
Basic phones and many entry-level models have no eSIM. Check yours in the full list.
