Check your destination, choose your plan, and stay connected while you travel.

Check your destination

Make sure your plan covers the place you're travelling to.

02WHY eSIM

Land connected, not searching for a SIM shop

With a physical travel SIM, getting online starts after you land. With an eSIM, most of the work is done before you leave home.

Nothing to set up before you fly

After you land

  • Land at your destination
  • Find a shop or kiosk
  • Buy and swap SIM cards

  • Get online

Travel eSIM

At home

  • Choose your plan at home
