What Is an eSIM?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built directly into your phone. Instead of inserting a plastic card, you install a mobile data plan by scanning a QR code. For travellers, that means you can buy a local-style data plan online and be connected the instant you arrive — with no roaming fees.

How does an eSIM work?

When you buy an EzSim plan, we email you a QR code. You open your phone's settings, add the eSIM, and it downloads the carrier profile for your destination. Your phone can hold multiple eSIMs, so you keep your home number for calls and texts while your travel eSIM handles data.

Which phones support eSIM?

Most phones released since 2018 support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy models. See our compatible devices list to confirm yours.
