FAQ
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM card built directly into your phone. Unlike physical SIM cards that you need to insert and swap, an eSIM lets you activate a mobile plan digitally without changing anything in your device. It's more convenient for travel since you can switch between your home plan and a travel data plan instantly, and there's no risk of losing a tiny SIM card abroad. Find out more
How do I install my Travel eSIM?
After purchasing your Travel eSIM, you'll receive a QR code by email. Simply scan this code with your phone's camera in your device settings. The eSIM installs in seconds. You can do this before you travel. Once you arrive at your destination, just turn on the eSIM profile in your settings and you're connected.
Is my phone compatible with eSIM?
Most newer smartphones support eSIM, including iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and Google Pixel 3 and up. To check if your device works with eSIM, go to your phone's settings and look for an option to add a mobile plan or eSIM. If you see it, you're ready to go.
Can I keep my Swiss number while using Travel eSIM?
Yes, your Swiss number stays active. Your phone can use both your regular SIM and the Travel eSIM at the same time. You'll receive calls and texts on your Swiss number as usual, while using the Travel eSIM for affordable data abroad. You can choose which line to use for calls, texts, and data in your phone settings.
When does my eSIM activate?
Your eSIM activates automatically when you first connect to a mobile network in your destination country. The validity period starts from this first connection, not from the purchase date. This means you can buy and install your eSIM before you travel without wasting any days.
How does billing work?
Travel eSIM is fully prepaid. You pay once when you buy your data package and that's it. No monthly fees, no hidden costs, no surprise charges. We accept credit cards, debit cards, and other common payment methods. The price you see is the price you pay.
Can I use my eSIM as a mobile hotspot?
Yes, you can share your Travel eSIM data with other devices. Just turn on the mobile hotspot feature in your phone settings. This lets you connect your laptop, tablet, or other devices to the internet using your eSIM data, perfect for getting work done or keeping the whole family connected.
What happens if I run out of data?
If you use up your data, your connection will stop but you can easily buy more. Just purchase an additional data package for your destination and install it the same way as your first eSIM. You can also top up before running out if you're tracking your usage and want to stay connected.

The reason for this is roaming: your phone automatically connects to a foreign network, and the charges are billed through your provider.
