One eSIM. Data plus a permanent phone number.

Most travel eSIMs are data-only and disposable. esimgomobile eSIMs pair real mobile data with a permanent phone number that's yours to keep — so you can call and text, not just browse.

What you get

Not just data. A full mobile line.

✓

Real mobile data

High-speed data on local networks in your destination — no roaming bill shock, no hunting for SIM shops at the airport.

✓

A permanent phone number

Your plan includes a genuine number with voice and SMS on compatible devices — yours to keep while your plan is active, for verification codes, callbacks and two-factor logins.

✓

Dual SIM, zero hassle

Keep your home number active alongside your esimgomobile line. Switch data between them in your phone's settings.

✓

Top up anytime

Running low? Add data from your dashboard or automatically — your line never dies mid-trip.

Compatibility

Will it work on your phone?

Most phones from the last five years support eSIM. Search your model below — this covers the most common eSIM-capable devices.

Carrier-locked phones may need unlocking first. If your exact model isn't listed, check your manufacturer's specs for eSIM support — or use a virtual number, which works on any device.

Three steps between you and mobile data. Your progress is saved on this device.

What is an eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM embedded in your phone. Instead of inserting a plastic card, you install a mobile plan by scanning a QR code. You can store several eSIM profiles and switch between them.
Do esimgomobile eSIMs include a phone number?
Yes — that's what sets us apart from data-only travel eSIMs. Your line includes a real number with voice and SMS on compatible devices and networks, so verification codes and callbacks work.
Can I keep my existing number?
Yes, in supported countries — your number keeps working with your old provider until the port completes.
How do top-ups work?
Your dashboard shows live data balance per line. Top up manually anytime, or enable auto top-up so the line never runs dry mid-trip.
What if my phone doesn't support eSIM?
Use a virtual number instead — a real number that works for calls and texts from any device with internet, no eSIM hardware needed.

esimgomobile eSIM: the full picture

Everything on this page exists to answer one question well: how does esimgomobile fit into your trip? The sections below go deep so you never need a second tab.

The long version is the rest of this page — plans, mechanics, edge cases and honest trade-offs, written the way we'd explain it to a friend.

The short version: prepaid travel eSIMs across 195 destinations, installed by QR code in two minutes, managed from a dashboard, with an AI agent on call when you need a human-style answer fast.

Explainer

How it works, step by step

  1. Choose data that fits the trip
    • Short city break? 5 GB. Two weeks with maps and video calls? 20 GB. Working remotely or hotspotting? 50 GB or Unlimited.
    • Every plan shows exactly what you get — no asterisks.
  2. Install in two minutes
    • Buy, scan the QR code, done. The whole thing happens on your phone, wherever you are.
    • Install days before you fly or minutes before boarding — your call.
  3. Switch on and go
    • Enable the eSIM line in settings when you arrive. It connects to the fastest local partner network on its own.
    • Your home number keeps working for calls and texts on your physical SIM if you keep it active.

Explainer

Good to know

  • Turn off auto-play on social apps before you fly; it quietly eats roaming data.
  • Save your eSIM QR code somewhere safe (email it to yourself) in case you switch phones mid-trip.
  • WhatsApp, iMessage and FaceTime keep your existing number on a data eSIM — no need to tell anyone a new number.
  • If a page won't load, toggle airplane mode for ten seconds — it forces a fresh network attach.
  • Screenshot your hotel address and booking confirmations — you'll want them with no signal.
  • Keep your home SIM active for two-factor codes from your bank; run data on the eSIM line.

These are the details that separate a smooth trip from a stressful one — small, unglamorous, and worth more than any feature list.

Explainer

Why travelers switch

Roaming bills taught a generation to fear their phones abroad. The eSIM generation simply never learned that fear — data is prepaid, visible and finite.

And because everything is prepaid through Amazon Pay, the commercial relationship is simple: you pay for data, you get data, it ends when it ends.

The Tele Agent closes the remaining gap: a question at midnight in a foreign terminal gets an answer in seconds, not a support ticket.
