Privacy Policy: the full picture

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.

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 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. Buy before you fly
    • Order from home, the hotel, or the departure lounge — delivery is instant and digital.
    • No shipping, no pickup counters, no airport SIM queues.
  2. Add the eSIM
    • One QR scan adds the plan to your phone. iPhone and Android both walk you through it in under a minute.
    • You can install now and activate later — the plan starts when you choose.
  3. Stay online abroad
    • Data, maps, translation and messaging work the moment you land.
    • Running low? Top up in one tap from your dashboard — no new QR code needed.

Explainer

Good to know

  • Hotspot sparingly: one laptop tethered all day can burn through a week of phone data.
  • Check that your phone is carrier-unlocked before you buy any eSIM — locked phones can't add one.
  • WhatsApp, iMessage and FaceTime keep your existing number on a data eSIM — no need to tell anyone a new number.
  • Keep your home SIM active for two-factor codes from your bank; run data on the eSIM line.
  • Screenshot your hotel address and booking confirmations — you'll want them with no signal.
  • Download offline maps for your destination — they save data and work in dead zones.

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

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

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.
