An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital version of a SIM card that’s built directly into your phone or device. It works just like a traditional SIM, but you don’t need to insert or swap a physical card.
With an eSIM, you can activate a data plan instantly using a QR code, app, or website — no store visits, no waiting. This makes setting up and managing your mobile plan faster and easier.
eSIMs also give you more flexibility. You can switch between plans or providers without changing cards, save money with local data bundles when you travel, and enjoy smaller, more streamlined devices since no SIM tray is needed.
