Simple Process

How It Works

From purchase to connected in under five minutes. Here's exactly what happens.

01

Check your device

Most smartphones made after 2018 support eSIM. Check our compatibility list or look in your phone settings under "Mobile Data" or "SIM". If you see an "Add eSIM" option, you're good to go.

Compatible with iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3+, and most modern Android flagships.

02

Choose a plan and pay

Browse destinations, pick the data size that fits your trip, and complete checkout. We accept all major cards and PayPal. The whole process takes under two minutes.

Plans start from โ‚ฌ2.90. No account required โ€” just an email address to receive your QR code.

03

Scan your QR code

Your QR code arrives in your inbox within 60 seconds. Open your phone's camera, point it at the code, and follow the on-screen steps to install the eSIM profile. Takes about 90 seconds.

You can install the eSIM before your trip and activate it when you land โ€” your existing SIM keeps working in the meantime.

04

Arrive and connect

When you land, your device automatically connects to the best available local network. Open your browser, and you're online. No SIM swapping, no airport queues, no roaming surprises.

Your home SIM stays active for calls and texts. The GlobeConnect eSIM handles your data.

Common Questions

Still have questions?

Here are the most common things people ask before their first eSIM purchase.

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card built into your device. Instead of inserting a physical card, you download a carrier profile using a QR code. It works exactly like a regular SIM but without the hardware.

Will my phone work with an eSIM?

Most smartphones made after 2018 support eSIM. This includes iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3+, and many other Android devices. Check your phone's settings for an "Add eSIM" or "Add Mobile Plan" option.

Can I keep my existing number?

Yes. Your physical SIM stays active for calls and texts. The GlobeConnect eSIM runs alongside it and handles your data connection abroad.

When should I install the eSIM?

You can install it anytime after purchase โ€” before your trip or at the airport. We recommend installing it at home on Wi-Fi so you're ready the moment you land.
