NOW eSIM?
NOW eSIM is a digital SIM made for travelers. Instead of a plastic card, you receive a QR code. Scan it and your phone downloads a data plan for the country or region you are visiting.
Your regular SIM stays where it is, so your number and messaging apps carry on as normal while you browse, stream and navigate on local data.
Plans are prepaid. You choose the data and the number of days before you go, and that price is all you pay.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about NOW eSIM.
NEED HELP?
Not sure which plan to choose?
Pick your destination and how long you will stay, then choose the plan that fits your trip.
What is NOW eSIM and how does it work?
NOW eSIM is a prepaid travel eSIM. After you buy a plan you receive a QR code. Scanning it adds a digital SIM profile to your phone, which then connects to local mobile networks at your destination for data.
Is my phone compatible with NOW eSIM?
Most iPhones from the XR and XS onward, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and Google Pixel 3 and newer support eSIM. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. To check, dial *#06#. If an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM.
When should I install my NOW eSIM?
Install it at home before your trip, while you are on reliable Wi-Fi. Keep the line switched off until you arrive, then turn it on and enable data roaming for it. Each plan's description explains when its validity period starts.
Can I use NOW eSIM and my regular SIM at the same time?
Yes. eSIM phones support two lines at once. Keep your home SIM for calls and texts and set NOW eSIM as your mobile data line. Your home carrier may still charge for calls or texts you make or receive abroad.
How do I install NOW eSIM on an iPhone?
Go to Settings > Mobile Data (or Cellular) > Add eSIM, choose Use QR Code and scan the code from your email. Give the new line a label such as “Travel”, then select it for mobile data when you arrive.
How do I install NOW eSIM on Android?
On Samsung, go to Settings > Connections > SIM manager > Add eSIM. On Google Pixel, go to Settings > Network & internet > SIMs > Add SIM. Scan the QR code and follow the prompts. Menu names vary slightly between brands.
Can I use one NOW eSIM in several countries?
Yes, with a regional or global plan. Single-country plans only work in the country they are sold for.
My NOW eSIM is not connecting. What should I do?
Check that the NOW eSIM line is switched on, selected for mobile data and has data roaming enabled. Then turn Airplane Mode on and off, or restart your phone. If it still won't connect, contact our support team with your order number.
