Read full description

Activate a cellular plan from your carrier without having to use a physical SIM. An eSIM is an industry-standard digital SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan from your carrier without having to use a physical SIM card. You can install eight or more eSIMs and use two phone numbers at the same time. eSIM offers many benefits while you travel abroad. It's more secure than a physical SIM because it can't be removed if your device is lost or stolen. With eSIM, you don't need to obtain, carry, or swap physical cards ( which can also be lost ), or wait for them to arrive by mail.
