What is an eSIM?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card built directly into most modern phones, eliminating the need for a physical SIM card. It works just like a traditional SIM but offers greater convenience and versatility. With an eSIM, you can switch between providers easily and avoid high roaming fees when traveling.With Eysim, staying online at your vacation destination has never been easier. Avoid high costs and enjoy seamless connectivity wherever you go.

How to Activate Your eSIM After Purchase

Order Your eSIM. Once you’ve purchased your eSIM, you’ll automatically receive an email containing a QR code and a link to track your data usage.

  1. Scan the QR Code
    Open the email and scan the provided QR code with your phone. This will prompt your device to ask if you want to add a mobile data plan.
  2. Accept and Wait for Activation
    After accepting, your phone will start the activation process. It may take a few moments for your eSIM to be fully activated.
  3. Activation in Your Destination Country
    If you activated the eSIM before reaching your destination, it might display "activating" until you arrive. Once you reach your destination country, the eSIM will fully activate and be ready for use.
  4. Ensure Data Usage from eSIM
    When you arrive at your destination, make sure that the eSIM is set as the primary data source. Go to your Mobile Network settings, where you can select your eSIM as the preferred data option.

This way, you'll avoid using roaming or your primary SIM card and ensure that you’re using your eSIM data plan while traveling.
