Installation
Scan a code. That's the SIM swap.
An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone. After checkout, the app walks you through scanning a QR code on Wi-Fi, and your travel line is added alongside your main number — no tray, no pin, no tiny card to lose.
- Step-by-step QR guide in the app
- Works on eSIM-compatible iPhone and Android phones
- Install at home, before you travel
On the road
Keep an eye on your data, not your bill.
The app shows how much data you have left on each plan, keeps a reinstall guide on hand if you change settings, and puts support one tap away when you need help far from home.
- Data usage for every eSIM you own
- Reinstall guides when you need them
- In-app support while you travel
Compatibility
Does your phone support eSIM?
Most recent iPhones and many recent Android phones support eSIM. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked, so it can use a line from a provider other than your home carrier. Check both before you buy.
On iPhone
Open Settings → Mobile Data (or Cellular). If you see an option such as Add eSIM, your iPhone supports eSIM.
On Android
Open Settings and look under network or connections for SIM manager or an option to add an eSIM. Menu names vary by manufacturer.
Check for an EID
Open your phone's dialler and enter *#06#. If an EID number appears, your phone has an eSIM chip.
Made for every kind of trip
However you travel, stay online.
Maps, ride-hailing, boarding passes and messages home — travel runs on mobile data. Pick the plan that matches the trip.
Holidays
Find the restaurant, share the beach photos and keep the family group chat going — from a weekend away to two weeks in the sun.
Business trips
Get online at arrivals, not at the hotel. Take calls on your main number while email and maps run on your travel line.
Team travel dataMulti-country tours
Crossing several borders? A regional plan can cover your route, so you're not buying a new SIM card in every country.

Questions
Esender eSIM FAQ
What is a travel eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone. A travel eSIM adds a second line for mobile data abroad, installed by scanning a QR code instead of inserting a physical card.
Where can I use Esender eSIM?
Esender eSIM offers data plans for 190+ countries and regions, including country plans and regional plans for multi-country trips. Search for your destination at esim.esender.com.
When should I install my eSIM?
Install it before you travel while you're connected to Wi-Fi — the in-app QR guide walks you through it in minutes. When you land, enable the travel line for data and turn on roaming for that eSIM only.
Will I keep my normal phone number?
Yes. Your main SIM stays in your phone and remains active, so you can still be reached on your usual number. The Esender eSIM line is used for data.
