In short

Three simple steps

After payment you get an email with an install button and a QR code.

03

Compatibility check

Does my device support eSIM?

Check in seconds whether your phone is eSIM-ready — no guessing, matched to popular models.

Not sure? Dial *#06# or look for an EID in Settings — if you see an EID, your phone likely supports eSIM.

A few useful tips

  • Install the eSIM at home on Wi‑Fi. Internet at your destination starts when you turn on cellular data.
  • Turn off data roaming on your home line to avoid data charges. Calls and SMS may still be charged at your carrier’s rates.
  • Each code is for one device — after install it can't be moved to another phone.
