Question 1

What is an eSIM?

Accepted Answer

An eSIM is a digital SIM card built directly into your device. Instead of inserting a physical SIM card, you install it by scanning or activating a QR code.

It connects you to mobile networks in over 190 destinations worldwide, automatically selecting the best and fastest available network in your chosen country for reliably high-speed internet.

Question 2

What is the difference between an eSIM and a physical SIM card?

Accepted Answer

An eSIM works just like a traditional SIM card: it connects your device to a mobile network. The key difference is that an eSIM is built into your device and activated digitally, so there is no need to insert a physical SIM card.

You can keep using your physical SIM for calls and texts while using your eSIM for mobile data, which makes it ideal for travel.

Question 3

Do I need a separate phone number for my eSIM?

Accepted Answer

No. peydsim currently offers data-only eSIM plans, so you will not receive a new phone number.

You can keep using your existing SIM card and phone number for calls and SMS, while your peydsim eSIM provides mobile data during your trip. This lets you stay connected without changing your primary number.

Question 4

Which countries does my eSIM work in?

Accepted Answer

The countries your eSIM works in depend on the plan you choose. We offer local plans for a single country and regional plans that cover multiple destinations.

You can view the full list of supported countries on each plan’s product page before purchasing.
