Scan to install — no SIM swap, ready right away. Major carrier networks across five continents, plans from $1.9.
A travel eSIM is a prepaid mobile data plan that downloads onto your phone as a digital profile instead of arriving as a plastic SIM card. You buy it online, receive a QR code by email within one to two minutes, scan it before you fly, and switch on data roaming when you land — there is nothing to ship and no counter to queue at.
Code eSIM sells travel eSIMs for 191 countries and regions, with more than 1,700 data plans starting at $1.90. Plans run on local 5G and 4G LTE networks through partner carriers on five continents. Delivery is automatic: the QR code arrives as soon as payment clears, with no waiting for business hours. Your existing SIM stays in place, so your own number keeps receiving calls and verification codes while the eSIM handles data. Unactivated eSIMs can be refunded within 14 days.

Most phones released since 2018 do: iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, Google Pixel 3 and later. Mainland-China iPhones are the main exception. Dial *#06# — if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. The phone also has to be carrier-unlocked.
Install it before you fly, over Wi-Fi at home. Installing is not the same as activating: most plans only start counting validity when the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination, so an early install does not waste days.
