Frequently asked questions

Got questions? Find answers.
Does the Europe travel eSIM cover data in the UK too?

No, the travel eSIM is intended for using data abroad, allowing you to avoid roaming fees from your mobile provider. It does not include data in the UK.

When will my eSIM activate?

You can install and turn on your eSIM before you travel, but your data plan will not start until you arrive in a covered country. That means your validity period only begins when you first connect at your destination, not at the point of installation.

How long can I use the eSIMs for?

Your eSIM is valid for 30 days upon connection at your destination. If you purchase a data top-up during your trip, it will be valid for the remainder of the validity period. If you purchase an additional plan, that plan will have an independent 30 day validity period.

What happens if I run out of data?

You always have the option to top up your data or purchase a new data plan. You will be notified of your approaching limit via email, and you can manage your plan and top-ups online.

What is an eSIM?

Instead of inserting a plastic card into your device, an eSIM is a digital SIM you can download onto your device. Our travel eSIMs gives you high-speed mobile data abroad, so you don't need to pay your operator's roaming fees. The travel eSIM sits alongside your regular SIM, so calls and texts still work on your home number.

How will I receive my SIM?

Our SIM is an eSIM, which means there is no need for any shipping. eSIMs are the digital equivalent of a regular SIM card. You can install your eSIM on your phone and get connected almost immediately. As soon as you complete the checkout and the subscription is active, we will send you an email with instructions on how to install your new eSIM. Some devices don't support eSIMs. You can check compatibility below.
