What is an eSIM?

An eSIM is a SIM card built into your phone. Instead of putting in a plastic card, you add a plan by scanning a QR code or tapping a link. Your own SIM can stay in the phone, so your number keeps working for calls and texts.

Does my phone support it?

Most recent iPhones, Google Pixels and Samsung Galaxy phones do, as long as the phone is not locked to a carrier.

To check, dial *#06#: if the screen shows an EID, your phone supports eSIM.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick a plan and pay with Alipay.

  2. 2

    We email you a private link to your eSIM.

  3. 3

    Open it before you fly, install the eSIM, and switch your mobile data to it when you land.
