Global
A global eSIM is one profile that works in 139 countries: install it once, keep it on your phone, and top it up per trip instead of installing a new eSIM each time. You pay for that reach — per GB it costs several times a single-country plan — so it suits multi-country trips and frequent flyers, not single-destination holidays..

ℹ Before you buy
Global plans trade price for reach: per GB they cost several times a single-country plan from the same catalogue. Buying for one destination? The country plan is almost always the better deal — compare before you choose.

- Already installed from a previous trip? Just enable the line and data roaming after landing — no QR, no Wi-Fi hunt. First time: install it at home over Wi-Fi before you fly, like any eSIM.
Common questions
- Is a global eSIM cheaper than buying a plan per country?
- Almost never. Per GB it costs several times the single-country rate on this same site. It wins on convenience — one install, top-ups everywhere — and on itineraries crossing three or more countries, where separate plans stack up.
- Do I need to reinstall it for each trip?
- No — that is the point. Install once, keep the profile on your phone with data roaming off between trips, and buy a top-up when you travel. The validity clock of each top-up starts when you first connect, not when you install.
- Does it include calls or SMS?
- No. It is data-only, with no phone number, so ordinary calls and SMS — including bank one-time codes — will not work. WhatsApp, iMessage and other data messaging work normally. Keep your home SIM active for codes.
