Manage both SIMs
Check your home SIM’s roaming settings: calls, texts or data can still incur charges.
A travel eSIM can provide mobile data without swapping a physical SIM. Check device compatibility, coverage, activation rules and your home SIM’s roaming charges before choosing a plan.
An eSIM is a SIM card built into your phone that you activate by scanning a QR code instead of inserting plastic. A travel eSIM is simply a prepaid data plan for the country or region you’re visiting, loaded onto that built-in chip.
Some plans can be bought and installed before departure. Read the activation rules first: connection on arrival depends on coverage, settings and the local network. Your home SIM may still incur charges if it remains active.
Compatibility depends on the exact model, regional version and carrier restrictions. Check the manufacturer’s and provider’s supported-device lists before buying; a model family name is not enough.
Installation takes a couple of minutes and is best done on Wi-Fi before departure. Activation, however, usually starts the moment the eSIM connects to a network - so read the plan’s activation rules first.
Buy for how you actually travel. Maps, messaging and the occasional search use very little; video streaming and hotspot use burn through data fast. A 24-hour trip of heavy navigation and photo backups is very different from two weeks of light use.
Roaming with your home carrier is the simplest but often the most expensive option. A local physical SIM can be cheapest for long stays but means swapping cards and getting a new number. A travel eSIM sits in between: near-instant, no card swap, and predictable prepaid pricing - ideal for most short and mid-length trips.
With data from the moment you land, you can log stops, check routes and back up photos on the go - then turn the whole trip into an animated map video with Travel Story Maker when you’re ready to share it.
Animate my route in the editorYour existing number stays with your home carrier. Whether both lines can remain active depends on the phone and carrier. Calls and texts on the home SIM may incur roaming charges; check its settings and tariff.
Read the plan’s activation rules before installation. Validity may begin at purchase, installation or first connection. Use Wi-Fi for installation when the provider recommends it and follow its instructions.
Yes - regional and global plans cover multiple countries. Check the exact coverage list matches every stop on your itinerary before buying.
Most travel eSIM plans are use-it-or-lose-it and expire after a set number of days. Buy roughly what you need rather than a large plan you won’t finish.
