When choosing an eSIM plan, consider four key dimensions: data size, validity period, country coverage, and price. This guide helps you pick the best plan from real travel scenarios.
Check this list before purchase to ensure you choose the right plan:
Single-country plan recommended, 3-5GB data. Daily cost ~$1-2, total ~$4-11. Choose a plan with auto-activation on arrival.
30-day large-data plan or local carrier monthly plan recommended. Use eSIM for emergency internet first, then get a local monthly plan for better value.
Long Stay (30+ days)
Large-data short-term or global plan recommended. Ensure stable high-speed network with hotspot support. Prioritize brands with 24/7 customer service.
Business Trip (1-3 days)
Regional plan recommended (Europe, Asia package), 10-20GB data. One eSIM for multiple countries, no card swapping. Daily cost ~$1-2.
Multi-Country Trip (7-15 days)
Short Single-Country Trip (3-7 days)
When choosing an eSIM plan, do not look at price alone. Data, validity, coverage, and price together determine value. Here is each dimension analyzed.

From checking phone compatibility to completing installation — just 3 minutes. Follow the tutorial step by step and set up your eSIM with ease.
View Installation TutorialeSIM installation typically takes only 3-5 minutes. After scanning the QR code, your phone automatically downloads the configuration file, and you can use it once complete. The entire process is very simple with no physical operations required.
We recommend connecting to WiFi during installation, as downloading the configuration file requires a network connection. The file is very small (typically a few KB), so downloading is very fast. After installation, the eSIM is in a pending activation state — enable roaming upon arrival for auto-connection.
Yes, and we recommend installing in advance. The eSIM won't activate immediately after installation — it needs to connect to the local network at the destination before billing starts. We recommend installing before departure and enabling roaming upon arrival.
Common causes include: system version too old, unstable network, unclear QR code. We recommend updating your system to the latest version, ensuring stable WiFi, and scanning in good lighting. If it still fails, contact customer service for a free eSIM re-issue.
iPhone: Settings > Cellular > Select the eSIM > Delete eSIM. Android: Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Network > Select the eSIM > Remove. After deletion, you'll need a new QR code to reinstall.
Ensure the QR code image is clear and complete, with no obstructions or reflections. Try zooming in on the QR code image and scanning in a well-lit environment. If received via email, save the QR code to your photo album and scan from there. If scanning still fails, contact customer service for a manual activation code.
