What is a travel eSIM?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM profile installed on your phone. For travel you buy a data plan, get a QR by email and add it in Settings — without swapping your home SIM.

How it works in practice

After payment you receive a QR code (or LPA details). Scan it in Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM. Download the profile on Wi-Fi. At destination enable data on the eSIM line and turn off data on your home SIM.

eSIM vs physical SIM

No airport shops, no swapping cards, keep your home number. Dual-SIM phones can use physical SIM + eSIM: calls on home number, travel data on eSIM.

What is usually not included

Simy.ro plans are for mobile data (internet). They do not include traditional voice calls or SMS — use WhatsApp, FaceTime or similar apps.

FAQ
