The term "eSIM" simply means an embedded SIM card. No physical SIM cards are involved; you don't need to swap. An eSIM is a small chip inside your phone that works similarly to the NFC chip used for payment techs like apple pay and google pay.

Two versions of this product are available: one is data-only, while the other supports both voice and data services. The data-only version permits you to use data exclusively, whereas the other version allows you to make or receive calls, send or receive SMS messages, and use data.

Use the search bar to find your destination, pick the data plan that fits your trip, and check out in a few taps. Your eSIM QR code arrives by email within about 2 minutes — no shipping, no store visit.

After checkout you'll receive an email with your personal QR code. Scan it from your phone settings and you're done — or use the easy-install link in the same email if you'd rather skip the QR code entirely.
