1. Ensure your device is compatible with eSIM and is carrier unlocked.
2. Choose and purchase your eSIM data plan.

Your plan is activated as soon as you connect your eSIM to a compatible network. For instance, if you buy a 1-day plan and activate it at 10 AM, it will be valid for 24 hours, ending at 10 AM the next day.

After purchasing your eSIM, you'll receive a confirmation email containing the QR code for instant activation. The QR code takes no more than 2 minutes to arrive. Please be aware that once the eSIM is activated, it cannot be returned.

You can verify if your smartphone (iPhone or Android) is eSIM-compatible here.

In most cases, your eSIMnow eSIM provides coverage at maximum speed (4G LTE), similar to a local data line. However, please be aware that in areas with weak coverage, your connection may operate at reduced speeds.

Set up your eSIM before you depart. When you arrive at your destination, activate your data plan by enabling roaming. We suggest printing out the QR code to bring with you on your trip as a backup. Keep in mind that you’ll need internet access to complete the eSIM installation.

If you require more data than what your eSIM provides, the best solution is to top up your eSIM with the amount of data that suits your needs.

We provide both single-region and multi-region plans for your selection. Based on your travel needs, you can choose from the following options:

- If you're visiting just one country or region, a country plan is ideal.
- For travel across multiple countries within a continent, a multi-region plan is recommended. Be sure to check that the covered countries align with your travel itinerary before purchasing.
- If you're traveling to countries across several continents, a global plan would be a great choice.

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card that is built into your smartphone or other mobile devices. It serves as an alternative to the traditional physical SIM card that can be removed and replaced.
