What is a travel eSIM?

A travel eSIM is a digital SIM you install by scanning a QR code — no physical card, no airport queue, no roaming charges. With GB eSIM you buy a data plan for your destination, get the QR code emailed within about 30 seconds, install it over Wi-Fi before you fly, and connect at 4G/5G speeds the moment you land in 200+ countries. It runs alongside your normal SIM, so you keep your home number for calls and texts.

Travel eSIM — frequently asked questions

What is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card built into your device. Unlike traditional physical SIM cards, eSIMs don't require inserting a physical card — you simply scan a QR code to install and activate your mobile data plan. Most smartphones released after 2018 support eSIM.
What's the difference between eSIM and a physical SIM?
The main difference is that eSIM doesn't require a physical card. You can install it before departure and activate it instantly upon arrival — no need to queue up or wait for delivery. Additionally, eSIM can coexist with your existing physical SIM, so you can keep your original number for receiving texts.
How soon will I receive my eSIM after purchase?
Instantly! After completing payment, you'll immediately receive your eSIM QR code on the order confirmation page and via email. No waiting — install anytime.
How many eSIMs can I install on one phone?
Most eSIM-capable phones can store multiple eSIM profiles (iPhones can store 8 or more), but only a limited number of lines can be active simultaneously. You can switch between different eSIM lines as needed.
Can the eSIM make calls and send texts?
We provide data eSIMs, primarily for mobile data connectivity. You can use data-based apps like WhatsApp, LINE, and Telegram for voice calls and messaging. Some plans may include calling features — please check individual plan details.
Can I keep my original phone number?
No — our eSIMs are data-only and do not come with a phone number, so you can't make regular calls or send/receive SMS on them. But you don't lose your number: install our eSIM as a second line alongside your physical SIM. Your physical SIM keeps your original number (turn it on with roaming, or keep it on at home for bank/work SMS) while our eSIM handles all your data. For calls and messaging, use WhatsApp, LINE or FaceTime over the data connection.
