An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan without using a physical SIM card. It is built into your device and can be programmed remotely. You can install an eSIM by scanning a QR code — no need to visit a store or swap SIM cards. ### Is my phone eSIM compatible? Most modern smartphones support eSIM, including iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and many other devices. Visit https://esimx.com/blog/esim-compatible/ for a full compatibility list. Note that some carrier-locked phones may not support eSIM even if the hardware supports it. ### How do I activate my eSIM? After purchase, you will receive a QR code via email. Simply go to your phone's Settings > Cellular/Mobile > Add eSIM or Add Cellular Plan, then scan the QR code. The eSIM will be installed and ready to use. It is recommended to install the eSIM before arriving at your destination while you still have Wi-Fi access. ### Can I use eSIM alongside my physical SIM? Yes. Most eSIM-compatible phones support Dual SIM (one physical SIM + one eSIM). You can keep your home number active on the physical SIM for calls and texts, while using the eSIM for data in your destination country. ### When does my data plan start? Data plans typically start when you first connect to a local network at your destination, not when you install the eSIM. This means you can install the eSIM days before your trip without losing any data allowance. Check the specific plan details for exact activation policies. ### Do I need to download an app? No. eSIMX is fully web-based. You purchase your eSIM on the website, receive a QR code via email, and scan it with your phone's built-in eSIM settings. No app download is required at any point, unlike some competitors such as Airalo and Holafly that require their apps. ### Can I pay with cryptocurrency? Yes. eSIMX accepts Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDT, and other cryptocurrencies in addition to credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) and PayPal. This makes eSIMX one of the few travel eSIM providers that support crypto payments. ### Can I get a refund? eSIMX offers refunds under certain conditions. Please review the full refund policy at https://esimx.com/refund-policy for details. ### What happens if I use all my data? Once your data allowance is used up, the eSIM will stop providing data connectivity. You can purchase a new eSIM plan for additional data. Some plans may offer top-up options. ### Does eSIM work for phone calls and texts? eSIMX offers both data-only plans and voice+data plans depending on the destination. Data-only plans provide internet connectivity, and you can use apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Skype for calls and messages over data. Voice+data plans include a local phone number for traditional calls and SMS. ### How many eSIMs can I install on my phone? Most modern phones can store multiple eSIM profiles (typically 5-10+), but only one eSIM can be active at a time alongside your physical SIM. This is useful if you travel to multiple countries — you can pre-install eSIMs for each destination. ### When should I buy my eSIM? How long before it expires? eSIMs must be installed within 30 days of purchase, or they will expire. It is recommended to purchase your eSIM one or two days before your trip to ensure it remains valid throughout your travel. ### Can I top up or recharge my eSIM? No. eSIMX eSIMs are single-use and do not support top-ups or recharges. If you purchase multiple plans for the same destination, you will receive separate eSIMs for each plan rather than having data added to a single eSIM. ### What should I do if my eSIM is installed but not working? First, confirm you are within the eSIM's coverage area. Then check the following: turn off Airplane Mode, make sure the eSIM is enabled and selected as your data source, and importantly, enable Data Roaming. If you still have no signal after 2-3 minutes, try toggling Airplane Mode on, wait a moment, then turn it off again — this usually resolves the issue. If it still does not work, you may be in a remote area with poor coverage, or you may still be on the aircraft — please try again after landing. ### Is eSIM secure? Yes. eSIM technology is at least as secure as physical SIM cards. The eSIM profile is encrypted and stored in a dedicated secure element on your device. It cannot be physically removed or cloned like a traditional SIM card. ### How is eSIMX different from Airalo or Holafly? eSIMX is typically 30–50% cheaper than Airalo and Holafly on most popular destinations. Unlike most competitors, eSIMX accepts cryptocurrency payments (BTC, ETH, USDT). eSIMX is also fully web-based with no app required — you receive a QR code via email and scan it directly, while Airalo and Holafly require app downloads for purchase and management. ## Policies - Refund Policy: https://esimx.com/refund-policy - Terms and Conditions: https://esimx.com/terms-and-conditions - Privacy Policy: https://esimx.com/privacy-policy ## Contact & Support - Website: https://esimx.com - Contact Page: https://esimx.com/contact - 24/7 customer support available
