How To Activate an eSIM From Anywhere
If you travel often and are frustrated by daily roaming fees, an eSIM could be your next travel hack. An eSIM allows you to connect to the internet in hundreds of countries and regions worldwide simply by activating a prepaid data plan. Here’s how to activate an eSIM anywhere and everywhere you travel.
1. Choose an eSIM Plan
If your phone is unlocked and eSIM-capable, you’re on track to try your first eSIM. Unlike a physical SIM card, an eSIM is built into your device, and getting connected is as easy as purchasing, downloading, and activating an eSIM plan.
Airalo offers eSIM plans for hundreds of countries and regions around the world (we even have a global plan if you’re off on an extended adventure!). Here’s how to choose your plan:
- Go to our website
- Select your destination (remember you can choose a country, regional, or global plan)
- Choose a plan with the amount of data and length of time that suits your travel plans
2. Install Your eSIM
What you need to know about installing an eSIM?
- There are two ways of installing an eSIM on your device:
- QR code method
- Manual Method
- Although we guide you through both, the QR code method is highly recommended.
- The setup should take about 2-3 minutes only.
