Data that just works,
wherever you land.

Q: What is an eSIM?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into most modern smartphones. Instead of swapping a physical SIM card, you simply scan a QR code or tap a link to download a data plan straight to your device. It works alongside your existing SIM, so you get local data abroad without removing anything from your phone.

Q: Which devices support eSIMs?

Most phones released from 2020 onwards support eSIMs, including the iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, Google Pixel 3a and later, and many Huawei, Xiaomi and Oppo models. Tablets like the iPad Pro and iPad Air (3rd generation+) also support eSIMs. Check your device settings for an "Add eSIM" or "Add mobile plan" option to confirm.

Q: Can I keep my normal UK number?

Yes. Your eSIM runs as a second line on your phone, so your existing UK number stays active. You'll still receive calls and texts on your normal number while using the eSIM for affordable mobile data abroad. Just make sure your phone is set to use the eSIM for data and your primary SIM for calls.

Q: What happens if I run out of data?

We'll send you an alert when your data drops below 20%, so you're never caught off guard. If you do use it all up, you can top up instantly from the eTravelSim dashboard or app — no need to buy a new eSIM. Your connection pauses until the top-up is applied, but it only takes a few seconds.

Q: Do I need to unlock my phone?

In most cases, yes. Your phone needs to be network-unlocked to use an eSIM from a different provider. If you bought your phone outright or your contract has ended, it's usually already unlocked. If you're unsure, contact your current UK network and ask them to unlock it — it's free and usually takes less than 24 hours.

Q: How do I install the eSIM?

After purchase, you'll receive a QR code instantly. On iPhone, go to Settings, then Cellular, then Add eSIM, and scan the code. On Android, go to Settings, then Network & internet, then SIMs, and scan the code. The whole process takes under a minute. If you're setting up a team member's phone remotely, we can send an SMS install link directly to their device.
