Got a prepaid eSIM for my trip, and it made life way easier. Maps and messaging worked whenever I needed them.

Before you buy

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.

  1. Open the Phone appThe normal dialler — the one you make calls from.
  2. Type *#06#No need to press call — the panel opens on its own.
  3. Look for EIDA 32-digit number under the IMEIs. If it is there, you are eSIM-ready.

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.

Your eSIM never expires

Only a plan has a validity. The eSIM stays on your phone, so whenever you need data again you add a new plan to the same eSIM.

  • No new QR codeA top-up goes onto the eSIM you already installed. Nothing to scan, nothing to reinstall.
  • Top up for your next tripMost eSIMs take plans for other destinations too, so one eSIM can travel with you.
  • Plan expired? Add anotherWhen a plan runs out, the eSIM stays. Add a new plan and carry on with the same profile.
