A simple way to stay connected while traveling
Travel connectivity does not need to be complicated. With an eSIM, you can set everything up before your trip and go online within minutes after landing.
Instead of dealing with roaming charges or searching for SIM cards at the airport, you can prepare your connection in advance and travel with confidence.
What an eSIM does
An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone.
Instead of inserting a physical card, you install a mobile plan directly on your device.
This allows you to:
- Activate a plan remotely
- Switch between lines easily
- Keep your main number active
- Use a separate line for travel data
For travelers, this means fewer steps and faster connectivity.
Before your trip
Check your device
Make sure your phone:
- Supports eSIM
- Is unlocked
- Is updated to the latest software
Most newer smartphones already support this.
Choose the right plan
Pick a plan based on:
- Your destination
- Number of travel days
- Expected data usage
Install early
Install your eSIM while connected to Wi-Fi before your trip.
Keep it ready until you arrive at your destination.
How to set it up
Installation steps
- Open your phone settings

After landing

How much data do you need
Your usage depends on how you travel.

Planning ahead helps you avoid running out of data during your trip.
Tips for a smoother experience
Keep your main number active
You can still receive:

while using your eSIM for data.
Label your lines
Use simple names like:

This reduces data usage and gives you a backup.
