Global eSIM

After purchasing a global eSIM plan through eSIM Cards, a QR code is sent to your email. To activate, go into your phone's settings — under Cellular, Mobile Data, or SIM, depending on your device — and look for the option to add a new plan or eSIM. Scan the QR code with your camera, and the profile installs in about a minute.

Setting up an eSIM is simple. Purchase the plan from our website. Once the payment is done, you will get a QR code mailed, scan it in your cellular settings to add the plan. eSIM starts working as soon as you enter the covered area.

The best global eSIM providers are the ones that are upfront about coverage, offer flexible validity lengths, and actually deliver reliable connectivity across the countries they list. eSIM Cards stand out for a few reasons — coverage across 190+ countries, plan validity options ranging from 7 days to a full year, 5G access where available, hotspot support, and a 24/7 support team.

We offer you a variety of eSIM plans that keep on adding. Check our plans section for the current deals offered by us.

Yes, entirely online. Visit the global eSIM page on our website, choose the plan that suits your trip, pay through the secure checkout, and the QR code arrives in your email.

Yes — and that is actually the recommended approach. You can purchase and install the global eSIM well before your trip. Scan the QR code at home over Wi-Fi, the profile installs, and then it simply sits inactive on your phone until you land in Spain and your phone picks up a local network.

Log in to your eSIM Cards account and open the dashboard — your active global eSIM plan will show remaining data and days left on the validity period. Some phones also show a per-line data usage figure in the mobile data section of settings, which you can reset at the start of each plan period to track usage from that point.

For most tourists, yes — it is considerably more practical than the alternatives. Buying a local SIM on arrival means finding a shop, dealing with potential language barriers, showing ID in some countries, and repeating the whole process at each destination if you are moving between countries.

Refund eligibility depends on whether the eSIM has been activated and data has been used. If you purchased a plan but the QR code has not been scanned, and the plan has not connected to any network, a refund request has a reasonable basis.

Yes. WhatsApp runs over a data connection, and the global eSIM provides exactly that across all 100+ covered countries. Once the plan is active, WhatsApp works the same way it does on any mobile data connection — messages, voice calls, video calls, and file sharing all function normally.
