What is a downloadable SIM card?

A downloadable SIM card is sometimes called an ‘eSIM’ (embedded SIM card). Just like a traditional plastic SIM card, it lets you connect to new networks so you can get mobile data. Most newer phones and tablets already support eSIM, and it takes less than two minutes to download an eSIM onto any eSIM compatible device.

Why should I use one for travel?

During international travel, your mobile carrier may charge roaming fees whenever you use data. But if you get a downloadable SIM card (eSIM) for the country you’re visiting, you can use a prepaid data package to connect instantly to local networks.

Using an eSIM is a much cheaper way to have a reliable internet connection while you travel, keeping your apps connected anywhere you go.
