Your Questions Answered

Data, calls, real phone numbers, top-ups and setup — everything you need to know before you buy a Simbye eSIM.

What is an eSIM and how does it work for travel?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card built into your phone that lets you activate a prepaid travel data plan without a physical SIM. Instead of hunting for a local SIM card at the airport, you scan a QR code and connect instantly to local networks in 190+ countries. With Simbye you get plans from $2.99, no roaming fees and instant QR delivery — and some eSIMs even include a real phone number for calls and texts.

Can I top up or recharge my eSIM?

Yes — all Simbye data eSIMs are rechargeable: top up anytime you need more data without buying a new eSIM. Just enter your order number on our top-up page and choose a new data package; your existing eSIM stays active. Our recharge prices are among the lowest available, so a single eSIM can cover trip after trip. Note: eSIMs that include calls & a phone number are not rechargeable — once they expire, you simply order a new one.

Which phones are eSIM compatible?

Most smartphones from 2018 onwards support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer (iPhone 14, 15, 16), Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3+ and Huawei P40+. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. Check our compatibility page for your exact model, or search 'eSIM' in your phone's settings to confirm before you buy.

eSIM Compatible Devices

How fast will I receive my eSIM after purchase?

Does a travel eSIM come with a phone number?

Most travel data eSIMs are data-only, so you simply keep your own number for WhatsApp, iMessage and app-based calls. But Simbye goes further: we also offer eSIMs that include a real phone number — a US eSIM with a +1 number, a UK eSIM with a +44 number, and country eSIMs that include calls and a real phone number — plus virtual US and UK numbers for receiving SMS verification codes abroad. With those you can call, text and register WhatsApp, Telegram or any app, and the codes arrive right on your phone — no extra app needed.

Do I need to activate data roaming on my device?

Yes, you need to enable data roaming in your device settings for your Simbye eSIM to work properly. Don't worry – with Simbye you won't face any roaming charges! Simply go to your phone's settings, select your Simbye eSIM, and turn on data roaming. You'll be connected instantly without extra fees.

What happens when my data runs out?

When your data is depleted, the eSIM simply stops working — no surprise charges or roaming fees! You’ll get low-data and expiry alerts and can check your live usage in the Simbye app anytime. You can top up instantly through our app or website to continue using your eSIM.

Top Up

Does the eSIM work for WhatsApp calls and video?

Can I keep my WhatsApp number?

Yes, absolutely! Your WhatsApp number stays the same because it's linked to your original phone number, not your SIM card. With Simbye eSIM providing data, you can continue using WhatsApp with your existing number and contacts worldwide. Stay connected without changing a thing!

How do I install and activate my eSIM?

Installing your Simbye eSIM takes less than 60 seconds — one of the fastest setups of any eSIM provider! After buying your eSIM online, you receive a QR code via email. Scan it with your phone camera (iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM; Samsung: Settings → Connections → SIM Manager), follow the prompts, and your eSIM activates instantly. No app download required — though our Simbye app makes managing multiple eSIMs even easier.

Installation guides

When should I set up my eSIM?

You need WiFi to install your eSIM, so we recommend setting it up shortly before your departure while you're still at home. Alternatively, you can wait until you arrive at your destination and connect to airport or hotel WiFi. Just remember – you'll need an internet connection for the initial setup, but after that, you're good to go!

Can I use my eSIM as a mobile hotspot?

Most Simbye eSIMs support hotspot/tethering: simply enable hotspot in your device settings and connect your laptop, tablet or other devices. Keep in mind that hotspot usage counts toward your data package, and a few unlimited plans limit or exclude hotspot — you’ll find the details on each product page.

How many times can I use my eSIM?

Your Simbye eSIM can be used until the data runs out or the validity period expires. Once installed, it stays on your device and can be topped up anytime with new data packages — no need to install a new eSIM. After 180 days of inactivity, the eSIM profile may expire and you would need to purchase a new one.

Is there any speed throttling on eSIM data plans?

No throttling on Simbye’s regular data plans — you get full 4G/5G speeds (up to 1 Gbit/s where the local network allows) on premium local carriers in 190+ countries, so you browse at the same speed as locals. On some unlimited plans a fair-use policy applies (a high-speed allowance, then reduced speed) — you’ll find the exact details on each product page.

How does Simbye compare to Airalo, Holafly & Saily?

Simbye is one of the most affordable eSIM providers on the market — often up to 85% cheaper for the same data. And unlike most providers, many Simbye eSIMs include real calls and a phone number, data eSIMs can be topped up again and again — and you always reach a real human on WhatsApp or email.

How can I check my remaining eSIM data?

Simbye offers three easy ways to track your eSIM data usage: use the Simbye app for real-time monitoring, check via our website with your order number, or use the link in your confirmation email. You’ll also get low-data and expiry alerts — a feature not all eSIM providers offer. When data runs low, top up instantly without buying a new eSIM — and every app purchase earns you 5% wallet cashback.
