Why a monthly eSIM suits a long stay
What it does, and only what it does.
Validity that covers the month
Pick a plan of 30 days or more. Validity counts from the first connection abroad, so installing at home costs you no days.
Hotspot for the laptop
Where the plan allows tethering, your phone can carry the laptop and tablet too. The plan card says whether hotspot is included.
Top up, do not reinstall
A plan ends, the eSIM stays. Add the next plan to the same profile from your account, with no new QR code to scan.
Your number stays put
The physical SIM keeps taking calls, texts and one-time passwords while the eSIM carries your data. Nothing is swapped.
Ready before you land
The eSIM arrives by email with a one-tap install button or a QR code. Set it up once, on Wi-Fi, before the trip.
Unlimited, with a fair-use note
Some plans are unlimited. Read the fair-use note on any of them before you rely on one for heavy daily work.
Sizing a plan for a working month
Messaging and maps use little data. Video calls, large uploads and tethering a laptop use a lot. If the eSIM is your main connection for work, lean towards a larger plan or an unlimited one; if you have reliable Wi-Fi at home or a co-working space, a smaller plan is a sensible back-up.
Staying longer than one plan lasts? There is no need to find one very long plan. Buy the next plan before the current one ends and it goes onto the same eSIM, so a stay of several months is a plan, then another, on the profile you already installed.
What an eSIM does not do on a long stay
Most ZetSIM plans are data-only. Calls and texts through WhatsApp, FaceTime or iMessage run over data, and your own SIM still handles your home number. Do not expect a local phone number: if a plan includes voice minutes or texts, its plan page says so.
A lease, a bank or a coworking contract may ask for a local number. A local carrier is the right tool for that, and a travel eSIM is a good bridge until you have one. Check that your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked before you buy.
From booking to a working connection
Choose a plan of 30 days or more
Match the data to how you work, and check the plan card for hotspot. For a move across countries, check a pack's country list.
Install the eSIM on Wi-Fi
Tap the install button in the email on the phone it is for, or scan the QR code from another screen. The profile waits until you land.
Connect, then top up when needed
Validity starts at the first connection abroad. Turn on hotspot for the laptop, and top up from your account if the data runs low.
A country plan or a region pack?
It depends on whether you stay or keep moving.
| Country plan | Region or global pack | |
|---|---|---|
| Best when | You stay in one country for weeks | You move between several countries |
| Coverage | The one country | Every country the pack lists |
| Check before buying | Validity, data and hotspot on the card | The pack page's country list |
Does your phone support an eSIM?
Dial *#06# on your keypad. If the panel that opens lists an EID, your phone is eSIM-ready. It works on iPhone and Android, takes about ten seconds, and nothing leaves your device.
Not listed? Dial *#06# — if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. See the full list
No EID? The phone takes a physical SIM only, and a travel eSIM will not work on it. If the EID is there but your handset came from a carrier, check it is not network-locked before you buy.
Questions before you buy
Still unsure? Our team answers on WhatsApp in minutes, in 11 languages.
Ask on WhatsAppThe one sized to how you work. Choose a plan with 30 days or more of validity, then match the data: video calls and tethering a laptop use a lot, messaging and maps little. If you are unsure, take a larger or an unlimited plan and read its fair-use note. Any plan can be topped up if you run short.
The plan expires; the eSIM does not. Each plan has a validity that starts at its first connection abroad. When it ends, the eSIM stays on your phone and you add a new plan to the same profile, with no new QR code to install.
Yes, on phones that support both. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps taking calls, texts and one-time passwords on your own number, while the ZetSIM eSIM carries your data. Nothing is swapped and nothing is posted home.
Yes. WhatsApp only needs a data connection, and the eSIM provides one. Messages and calls go over data, and your WhatsApp account stays on your own number, so friends and colleagues reach you exactly as before. Video calls use far more data than messages, so size the plan for how much you call.
Yes, on plans that allow hotspot; the plan card shows it. Turn on Personal Hotspot on an iPhone or Mobile Hotspot on Android, then join the network from your laptop. Heavy work over a hotspot uses data quickly, so size the plan for it.
Add the next plan before the current one ends. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no reinstall and no new QR code. You can top up from your account at any time, in any country the new plan covers.
