Buy an eSIM and stay connected while you travel the world

eSIM compatibility varies by device. Check your device specifications for eSIM support.

Yes! Using an eSIM offers flexibility to switch operators without changing SIM cards, convenience of multiple plans on one device, and no need for physical cards.

In most countries, eSIMs can be activated remotely without the need to visit a store. However, in compliance with local regulations, some SIM providers require a KYC (Know Your Customer) process, which may involve sharing identification documents. In certain cases, a physical store visit might also be necessary for identity verification purposes (e.g., UAE, Israel). Our product listings provide information on instant activation or requiring a KYC check.

To set up an eSIM on your device, access your device settings, locate the eSIM or mobile network section, and follow instructions or use a provided QR code to add or activate your eSIM. You can also download our handy guide that explains the eSIM setup process.

We primarily offer data eSIMs, which are perfect for staying connected on the go. However, we understand that customer and regulatory requirements may vary, so we also provide eSIMs with talking minutes included. For example, our UAE eSIM is unique in that it comes with preloaded talking minutes, ensuring you have all-in-one connectivity options.

To change APN settings on your device, go to the device settings, find the mobile network settings or APN settings section, and enter the desired APN information . Please do not hesitate to reach out to us on care@alike.io if you have any questions.

Several of the plans we offer support up to 5G cellular or mobile networks. However, 5G availability may vary across different countries and regions.

You can access most apps and websites using your eSIM mobile data as you would with your regular data. However, some apps or websites may have restrictions based on security protocols, or location/service provider limitations which may limit your ability to access those site/apps when you are traveling in a different country.

You can safely remove eSIMs from your device when there is no longer an active data package for the eSIM or when you no longer have a use for it. For removing an eSIM from your device navigate to your device's Mobile/Cellular Settings, tap on the eSIM you want to delete, and select "Remove Mobile Data Plan" or a similar option.

eSIM compatible devices allow you to install multiple eSIMs. However, the number of active eSIMs you can have simultaneously may vary depending on the device model. For instance, iPhones can store 5-10 eSIMs, but the number of active eSIMs depends on the device's storage. With models like iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, and iPhone 13 mini, you can use Dual SIM with two active eSIMs or a nano-SIM and an eSIM. iPhone 12 models, iPhone 11 models, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR feature Dual SIM with a nano-SIM and an eSIM, but only one eSIM can be active at a time.

DSDS allows you to stay connected with both your physical SIM and eSIM simultaneously. The number of active eSIMs on your device depends on the device model. For example, iPhone 13 Pro Max support Dual SIM with two active eSIMs or a nano-SIM and an eSIM, however for iPhone 12 models Dual SIM is supported with a nano-SIM and an eSIM, but only one eSIM can be active at a time.

No, you cannot install the same eSIM on multiple devices. An eSIM can only be installed on one device, and most eSIMs can be installed only once. Once you remove the eSIM from a device, it cannot be reinstalled.

Yes, you can use tethering, also known as Personal Hotspot, with your eSIM data as long as your device and network support this feature.
