How it works
Three steps, both products
The same flow for an eSIM data plan and a verifiable phone number: pick, activate, use.
- Step 01
Pick a destination
Search any of 190+ countries or a regional bundle. See live coverage, supported carriers and per-day pricing before you pay.
- Step 02
Activate in under a minute
Scan the QR code from your phone settings, or open the app for one-tap install. eSIMs activate the moment you land. Virtual numbers are instant.
- Step 03
Use it. Top up. Move on.
Top up data or extend your number from the same wallet. When the trip ends, the eSIM and number expire on their own. Nothing to remove, nothing to leak.
Not sure your phone takes an eSIM?Check your model
Your regular SIM and number stay active the whole time. eSIMs run on a second profile; virtual numbers are separate from your real line.

FAQ
eSIM questions, answered
The shortlist travelers ask most before activating.
Most phones from 2018 onwards support eSIM. Confirmed support: iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, most current Huawei, Xiaomi and Oppo flagships. The country page links to the live device list before checkout.
Yes. Install on Wi-Fi at home and toggle it on after landing. The validity period only starts the moment your eSIM connects to a local network.
Yes. Your home SIM stays active in slot one. Set the GetSim eSIM as the default for cellular data and keep your real number for calls and SMS.
Roaming charges per minute / per MB on top of your home plan, often $5–$15 per day. GetSim eSIMs are fixed-price local data plans. You pay once, you know what you get.
On most plans you can top up directly from the dashboard. The eSIM stays installed; you just buy more data on the same profile. Some legacy plans require a fresh package. The country page tells you which kind you are buying.
No. eSIM profiles bind to a single device by design. To share data, use your phone as a hotspot (allowed on all GetSim plans).
GetSim eSIMs are data-only. Calls and SMS run over apps (WhatsApp, iMessage, FaceTime). For verifications, pair the eSIM with a virtual number from the same wallet.
Contact support from the dashboard. Most issues resolve within minutes. Unused eSIMs (no data consumed) are fully refundable.
