FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM is like a normal SIM, except that it is already electronically built into your device and only needs to be activated. After activation, you use the eSIM for your data volume and continue to use the physically built-in SIM for making phone calls.

When does it make sense to use an eSIM?

Here are some of the many ways it makes sense to use an eSIM:

  • Benefit from a cheap, local data tariff when you travel and save yourself the expensive roaming charges of your provider
  • Use eSIM for data volume and keep your current tariff for calls.
  • You can use a hotspot to allow other devices to use your eSIM data volume
Is my device suitable for this?

The majority of current smartphones and tablets support eSIM. A complete list of eSIM-enabled devices can be found here. In addition, the following conditions must be met: Roaming must be activated on your device and there must be no SIM lock.
