Traveling internationally? Staying connected doesn't have to mean searching for a local SIM card or coming home to an unpleasant roaming bill.
A travel eSIM gives compatible devices access to mobile data while you're abroad without requiring you to physically replace your SIM card. You can install your travel eSIM before leaving home and activate it when you arrive at your destination.
Why Travelers Are Using eSIMs
With an eSIM, you can:
-
Stay connected while traveling internationally
-
Avoid carrying or swapping physical SIM cards
-
Keep your regular SIM available on compatible devices
-
Use maps, email, messaging and other data-based apps
-
Choose a plan based on your destination and trip
-
Get your eSIM digitally instead of waiting for a physical SIM
Your phone does need to support eSIM, and it generally needs to be unlocked for use with another provider.
A Simple Travel Setup
Before your trip, check your phone's eSIM compatibility and purchase your travel plan.
Once you receive your eSIM, follow the provider's installation instructions. When you arrive, activate the travel eSIM and select it for mobile data.
That means you can step off the plane, turn on your connection and get back to what matters—your trip.
Before You Buy
Always check:
-
Destination coverage
-
Data amount
-
Plan validity
-
Device compatibility
-
Whether the plan includes data only or voice/SMS
-
Activation requirements
Most travel eSIMs are designed primarily for data, so services such as WhatsApp, FaceTime and other internet-based apps can be useful for staying in touch.
