An eSIM is a SIM that is built into your phone. Instead of putting in a plastic card, you scan a QR code and the plan is downloaded to your phone.
How it works
Most phones can hold several eSIMs alongside a physical SIM. You choose which line to use for calls, texts and mobile data.
A Spidot eSIM gives you mobile data in the country or region you buy it for. Your own SIM stays in your phone.
Why travellers use it
- You can buy and install it before you leave.
