Who a global eSIM is for

A country eSIM is the cheapest option when you're going to one place. A global eSIM is for when you're going to lots of places — and don't always know which ones in advance:

  • Round-the-world and multi-region trips — Europe, then Asia, then the Americas, on one eSIM that you install once.
  • Airline crew — pilots and flight attendants on layovers in a different country every few days. One plan covers the whole roster, and the 365-day plan means you're never scrambling for data at a new outstation.
  • Ship crew and seafarers — flying to join a vessel, port calls, crew changes and the trip home at sign-off. (An eSIM uses land networks, so it works in port and near the coast — not in the middle of the ocean.) See our guides for cruise ship crew and Filipino seafarers.
  • Business travelers and digital nomads — anyone who crosses borders every week and would rather not buy a new plan each time.

How the 365-day plan works

The 1GB / 365-day plan is the "always ready" option: it keeps a working data line on your phone for a full year, so you land anywhere in 117 countries already online.

  • Validity starts on first connection, not at purchase. The 365 days begin when the eSIM first connects to a network abroad, so you can buy and install it well ahead of time.
  • Top up the same eSIM when you run low. Topping up adds more data without reinstalling anything. Top-ups add data, not days — so the 365-day plan is the one to start on if you want your line to last.
  • Data only. There's no phone number, calls or SMS. WhatsApp, FaceTime, Teams and other apps work normally over data, using your usual number.

If you'll use a lot of data over a shorter stretch, the 30-day plans (3GB to 20GB) and the 20GB / 90-day plan are better value per GB — the 90-day plan fits a three-month contract or a long trip.

Global eSIM vs country eSIMs vs roaming

Global eSIM One eSIM per country Carrier roaming
Countries 117 on one plan One each Depends on your carrier
Setup Install once New QR code every country None
Cost One price, top up as needed Cheapest per GB for single-country trips Daily or per-MB fees
Best for Several countries, crew rotations, unknown routes A single destination Very short trips, if your plan includes it

Rule of thumb: going to one or two countries? A country eSIM is usually cheaper. Three or more, or a route you don't know yet? Go global.

Setting it up

  1. Check your phone supports eSIM and isn't carrier-locked.
  2. Buy a plan and scan the QR code while you're on Wi-Fi — before you travel.
  3. When you land, switch data to the eSIM line and turn Data Roaming on for that line.
  4. Keep your regular SIM on for calls and texts, but turn off its data roaming so it doesn't run up charges.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I activate my eSIM after purchasing?

    After completing your purchase, you’ll receive an email with your eSIM details and a step-by-step activation guide. Most users can activate their eSIM in less than 5 minutes.

  • Will this eSIM work with my phone?

    Our eSIMs are compatible with most modern devices that support eSIM technology. To check compatibility, ensure your phone is unlocked and supports eSIM. If you’re unsure, contact us before purchasing.

  • What happens if I run out of data?

    You’ll receive notifications as you approach your data limit. If you run out of data, you can easily purchase additional plans directly from our website.

  • Can I keep using my primary SIM while using the eSIM?

    Yes, you can use your primary SIM for calls and texts while using the eSIM for data. Just make sure to disable data roaming on your primary SIM to avoid unexpected charges.

  • Is there any additional cost or hidden fees?

    No, what you see at checkout is what you pay. There are no hidden fees or additional costs after purchase.

  • What networks will this eSIM connect to?

    It connects to major local networks in your destination. The plan page lists the exact operators.

  • How long is the eSIM valid for?

    Once you activate the eSIM, you can use it as the duration in the plan stats. If you don’t activate it immediately, you have up to 180 days to use it after purchase.

  • Can I get a refund if the eSIM doesn’t work or I change my mind?

    Refunds are available as long as the eSIM has not been used or activated. If you experience any issues, our support team will assist you to ensure a smooth resolution or refund if eligible.

  • What if I face issues during activation or usage?

    We provide 24/7 customer support to help you with any issues, whether it’s activation or connectivity. Just reach out to us via email ([email protected]) or live chat.

  • How secure is the checkout process?

    Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see your card details. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay and USDC.

Frequently asked questions

Which countries does the global eSIM cover?

117 countries across Europe, Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, Africa and Oceania — the full list is below the plans on this page. If one country matters most, check it's on the list before you buy.

Does the global eSIM work on a cruise ship or at sea?

It works in port and near the coast, where the phone can reach land networks. Out at sea, ships use their own satellite-based networks, which this eSIM doesn't connect to — use the ship's Wi-Fi there, and turn off data roaming on your home SIM so it doesn't connect to the ship's network and run up charges.

Is a global eSIM good for airline crew?

Yes — it's the simplest setup for crew. Buy the 365-day plan once, keep it installed, and you're online on arrival at every outstation it covers, with top-ups when you need more data. There's no new eSIM to install for each trip.

Can I top up the global eSIM?

Yes. Top-ups add data to the same eSIM without reinstalling. They add data, not extra days, so start on the plan length you need.

When does the 365-day validity start?

When the eSIM first connects to a network abroad — not when you buy it. Buying and installing early costs you nothing.

Does the global eSIM include a phone number?

No. It's data-only: no number, calls or SMS. Calling and messaging apps like WhatsApp and FaceTime work normally over data.

Is a global eSIM cheaper than buying an eSIM for each country?

For one or two countries, a country eSIM is usually cheaper per GB. For three or more countries — or when you don't know your route in advance — a global plan usually works out cheaper and is far less hassle.
