Frequently Asked Questions

What is an eSIM?

Prepaid travel eSIMs are the new way to stay connected when traveling internationally. No more expensive data roaming fees or searching for a local SIM card vendor at your destination.

eSIMs are the digital version of your mobile device's traditional SIM card and they can be easily uploaded into most iOS and Android devices. Once uploaded, this "embedded" SIM creates a second line that can connect to a variety of mobile data networks around the world.

If your device supports eSIM, then you will be able to download an eSIM and create a second line on your phone. Check device compatibility here.

When you purchase an Always Mobile travel data plan, we will send you a QR code link to download the eSIM to your device.

Always Mobile's eSIM data plans for travel are easy to purchase, install and activate - so you can enjoy your travels, stay connected and save!

Why are eSIM-enabled data plans useful?

eSIMs enable a second line on your mobile device allowing data usage separate from your "Primary" line and your home country mobile carrier's data plan.

You can:

Add a local data plan when you travel outside of the country or region to avoid roaming charges..

Add a local data plan if you need extra data above and beyond your current monthly plan to avoid data overage charges.

Use eSIM for data and keep your voice line separate to save on monthly data costs.

What is the best eSIM for international travel?

The best eSIM for international travel is one that offers reliable coverage, easy setup, prepaid data, and hotspot/tethering on compatible devices.

Is my mobile device eSIM compatible?

iPhone: You must have iOS 12.1 or later. Check Device compatibility.

Android: Many Android devices support eSIMs. Check Device compatibility and scroll down to the section on Android.

Important: Your device must be "unlocked". When you buy a device with a contract from a mobile operator, it is common practice for them to lock the connectivity from any other supplier. In this case, your device will be considered "locked," at least until your contract expires. You can check with your operator to see if there is anything you can do to unlock the eSIM in your device.

Are voice calls and SMS included?

Only data service is available. Voice Calls and SMS/Text Messaging is not available with our eSIMs.

For iPhone devices, iMessage and Facetime can be used with your eSIM. See the next 2 FAQs for instructions.

Many customers use their phone's WiFi calling feature or third party apps for messaging and voice call needs while using their eSIM data plan.

How much data do I need?

Here is some useful information to consider when deciding how much data you will need:

As a guide, 1GB of data would allow you to do the following:

  • Stream roughly 8 hours of music
  • Send or receive approximately 1,000 emails
  • Send over 1.5 million text messages (without pictures or video)

A standard definition movie of approximately 2 hours in length will consume about 2GB of data.

A high definition (1080p) movie of approximately 2 hours in length will consume about 6GB of data.

How do I install my eSIM?

After purchase, you’ll receive a QR code by email. Scan it on your compatible iPhone or Android phone and follow the on-screen steps to install.

Install the eSIM before you travel and turn on data when you arrive at your destination, following your plan instructions.

Can I use hotspot with my eSIM?

Yes, all our eSIMs support hotspot/tethering on compatible devices.
