What an eSIM is
A digital SIM you download instead of a plastic card. Your home number keeps working for calls and texts while data runs on the eSIM.
Does your phone support it
Most phones from 2019 onwards do, including recent iPhone, Pixel and Galaxy models. Look for “Add eSIM” in your mobile data settings.
When to install it
Install over Wi-Fi the day before you fly, then switch it on when you land.
