An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card built into your phone. Instead of buying a physical SIM at the airport, you download a carrier profile directly to your device — in minutes, from anywhere.
For digital nomads, this is transformative. You can purchase a European data plan before you land, switch between plans as you move between countries, and keep your home number active simultaneously.

Yes — your device must be carrier-unlocked to use a third-party eSIM plan. Contact your carrier to request an unlock if needed.
Yes — use Dual SIM. Keep your home SIM/eSIM for calls and texts, use your travel eSIM for data. Configure in cellular settings.
Install the eSIM profile at home on WiFi before departure. Activate (enable) it when you land or when you want data to start.
Most plans allow hotspot/tethering. Check your plan's terms. Hotspot uses data quickly — a video call uses 1-2GB per hour.
