What is an eSIM?

An eSIM is a digital SIM built directly into your phone or device. It works like a physical SIM card, but there's nothing to insert, remove, or wait to arrive. With an eSIM, you can activate a mobile data plan online and connect to supported networks in just a few minutes.

Instant digital delivery

No plastic, no waste, no waiting.

How does an eSIM work?

Instead of receiving a plastic SIM card, you install an eSIM profile on your device—usually by scanning a QR code or entering the installation details manually.

Once installed, your device uses the eSIM to connect to local mobile networks wherever your plan has coverage.

Your existing SIM does not need to be removed. On most compatible phones, you can keep your regular number active while using the eSIM for mobile data.

Why use an eSIM?

  • Instant activation

    Buy and install your plan online without visiting a store or waiting for delivery.

  • No physical SIM swapping

    Keep your existing SIM and switch between plans directly in your device settings.

  • International connectivity

    Connect abroad without hunting for local SIM cards or paying carrier roaming rates.

What do I need?

To use encryptSIM, you need:

  • An eSIM-compatible phone, tablet, or other device
  • A carrier-unlocked device
  • An internet connection during installation

Does an eSIM replace my normal SIM?

Not necessarily. Most modern eSIM-compatible phones support dual SIM, allowing you to keep your regular SIM active while using encryptSIM for mobile data. You can continue receiving calls and messages on your normal number while connected through the eSIM.

Be aware that your regular carrier may still charge roaming fees if its SIM remains enabled for calls, messages, or data.

When should I install my eSIM?

You can install your eSIM before travelling while you have a reliable internet connection.

Installation and activation are separate steps. Installing the eSIM adds it to your device; activating it allows it to connect to a mobile network. Follow the instructions provided with your plan to avoid starting it earlier than intended.
