Landed in Lisbon, eSIM picked up MEO before I cleared customs. Used Citymapper straight to the Airbnb without buffering. Two weeks of cafes, day trips and Google Translate at the tile shops, 8 GB was about right.

Regional bundles
One eSIM, many borders
Crossing more than one country? A regional bundle is cheaper than buying separate country eSIMs and works on the same QR.

Why a GetSim eSIM
Built for travelers who already have a phone they like.
Activates in minutes
Scan a QR or tap install in our app. Data is live the moment your plane lands.
Your home SIM stays put
eSIMs run on a second profile. WhatsApp, banking SMS and 2FA keep arriving on your real number.
Top up, switch, extend
Out of data? Top up the same eSIM in two taps. Going to a new region? Add another plan to the same wallet.
Real local networks
Plans run on tier-1 carriers in each country. No obscure resellers, no degraded speed.
How it works
Three steps, both products
The same flow for an eSIM data plan and a verifiable phone number: pick, activate, use.
- Step 01
Pick a destination
Search any of 190+ countries or a regional bundle. See live coverage, supported carriers and per-day pricing before you pay.
- Step 02
Activate in under a minute
Scan the QR code from your phone settings, or open the app for one-tap install. eSIMs activate the moment you land. Virtual numbers are instant.
- Step 03
Use it. Top up. Move on.
Top up data or extend your number from the same wallet. When the trip ends, the eSIM and number expire on their own. Nothing to remove, nothing to leak.
Your regular SIM and number stay active the whole time. eSIMs run on a second profile; virtual numbers are separate from your real line.

How a travel eSIM stacks up against the three other ways to get online abroad.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Setup time | ~2 min | Instant | 20–60 min | 1–3 days |
| Typical cost (1 week) | $5–$15 | $30–$100 | $10–$25 | $25–$80 |
| Keep your home number | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
| Refundable if unused | Yes | No | No | Partial |
| Works on multiple devices | No | No | No | Yes |
| No hidden fees | Yes | No | Partial | Partial |
| Available before you land | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
Cost estimates are illustrative, based on 5 GB of data over 7 days in a typical European destination. Your local carrier's roaming rate may differ.

How real travelers used GetSim on their last trip abroad.
Marcus T.
Toronto, Canada
Three weeks in Japan, two phones in the family on the same wallet. NTT Docomo held up in Hakone backroads and through Shinkansen tunnels. My Rogers SIM stayed live for banking SMS the whole trip.
Priya R.
Sydney, Australia
Working from Canggu for three weeks, hopped between two villas. Zoom calls were fine on Telkomsel, no lag. Topped up once mid-trip from the dashboard in about thirty seconds. Did not have to chase a kiosk in Kuta.
James O.
New York, USA
Worked great after install, but the QR code did not scan from my phone's storage at first. Support walked me through opening it on the laptop and re-scanning. Fixed in five minutes. Five days of CDMX on a single eSIM, no Verizon roaming bill.
Hannah B.
Manchester, UK
Family of four, four eSIMs on one account. Kids were posting from the Vatican before I even got off the plane. Hotspot worked for the Switch on the train. Refund flow was clear; did not need it but reassuring to see.
Daniel K.
San Francisco, USA
Eight countries in a month: Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, Czechia. One eSIM, no profile-swapping. Hit 4G at every border. Pricier than buying just for Spain alone, but way less hassle.
