An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into devices like mobile phones and tablets. It allows you to activate a mobile plan by scanning a QR or entering an activation code. eSIMs offer greater flexibility, enabling you to switch between carriers and plans easily, without the hassle of physically swapping SIM cards.

To check if your device is eSIM-compatigle, go to Settings > Cellular (Apple) or Settings > Network & Internet (Android). If you see an option to add a cellular plan via eSIM, your device is eSIM-enabled. You can also check your device model on the manufacturer’s website for confirmation. Still unsure? SimCorner's customer support is available to assist you.

Some eSIMs can be reinstalled and reactivated if you switch phones or accidentally delete your eSIM profile, while others may not. We recommend checking the product specifications to be sure. If you need further assistance, don’t hesitate to get in touch with SimCorner customer support, and we’ll help you explore the available options for your eSIM.

Devices with dual SIM functionality allow you to use your SimCorner travel eSIM alongside a physical SIM card or another eSIM. However, once you arrive at your destination, double-check that roaming is disabled on your home SIM to avoid accidentally incurring charges. If your device doesn’t have dual SIM functionality, only one SIM profile can be active at any given time. Be sure to set your SimCorner travel eSIM as your primary active connection while overseas.

After purchasing your SimCorner eSIM plan, you'll receive detailed activation instructions along with the QR code. To get started, open your device’s settings and navigate to the 'Cellular' or 'Mobile Network' section. Select the option to add a new eSIM, then scan the provided QR code. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the activation process. Once activated, your eSIM will be ready to use immediately. If you need any assistance, SimCorner’s customer support team is available to guide you through the process.

Travel eSIMs and SIM cards are programmed for specific countries or regions. Be sure to check the coverage and compatibility based on your itinerary before purchasing.
