Connected worldwide: what is an eSIM and why does it make travel so easy?

The eSIM is your ticket to digital freedom on the go. Unlike a physical SIM, it's built right into your phone and is simply loaded with a plan via software.

• No tangle of tariffs,
• no shop at the airport,
• no removing or swapping cards.

Anyone who uses an eSIM simply books online, scans a QR code and is ready to go a few minutes later.

Especially handy: Several eSIM profiles can be stored on one device – so you can flexibly activate the right plan for every destination.

Do you have a recent smartphone from Apple, Samsung, Google or another manufacturer? Then you most likely already own an eSIM-capable device. If you're unsure, use the support check on the BuddySIM website or get live advice. That gives you peace of mind while planning your trip and saves headaches once you're there.

• Order the eSIM: Choose the right plan on the BuddySIM website or another provider and complete your order online.
• Receive your profile: You'll get a QR code or installation link straight to your email.
• Scan the profile: Open your smartphone settings (under "Cellular" or "Mobile Data") and scan the code.
• Activate the profile: The eSIM installs in just a few seconds. The data plan is often activated automatically once you log on in your destination country.
• Start surfing right away! You're reachable worldwide, with no complicated settings while abroad.

Tip: Set up your eSIM on your home Wi-Fi before you leave – then you can board your flight relaxed and use support if you have any questions.
