WHAT IS AN eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your iPhone. There's no plastic card to swap or lose. Buy a data plan in the app, install it in about 2 minutes, and turn it on when you land.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Check that your iPhone is compatible in the app
2. Pick your destination and data plan
3. Pay securely in the app
4. Install your eSIM at home over Wi-Fi
5. Turn it on when you land
Your plan only starts when your iPhone connects to a network at your destination. You have 180 days from purchase to install it.
KEEP YOUR US NUMBER
Simnova eSIMs are data-only and sit alongside your regular line. Texts and banking codes can keep arriving on your usual number, while WhatsApp, FaceTime and Maps run on Simnova data.
Set Cellular Data and Data Roaming to your Simnova eSIM only, so your home carrier can't add a roaming charge. The app walks you through it.
WHAT YOU GET
- Instant delivery, usually within seconds
- Hotspot on every plan
- Your data balance in the app at any time
- Top-ups in two taps
- Prepaid, with no contract and no surprise bill
- Nova credit on every purchase, shown in your own currency
COMPATIBLE iPHONES
iPhone XR and newer, carrier-unlocked. Phones still on a carrier installment plan are often locked, so check with your carrier first. iPhones bought in mainland China or Hong Kong generally won't work. The app checks yours before you buy.
