Getting started

What is an eSIM and how does TraveleSIM work?

An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone. You buy a data plan online, install it in minutes and are online when you land.

Instead of inserting a plastic SIM card, you download the mobile plan to your phone, with one tap or by scanning a QR code.

How it works with TraveleSIM

  1. Check your phone. Your phone must support eSIM and be unlocked. Check compatibility.
  2. Choose a plan. Pick your destination, the amount of data and how many days you need in our eSIM store.
  3. Install it before you travel. Your eSIM arrives by email right after payment. Install it while you still have Wi-Fi at home.
  4. Turn it on when you arrive. Switch your mobile data to the TraveleSIM eSIM and turn on data roaming for it. That is all.

Why travel with an eSIM?

  • No local SIM card to find, no passport registration at a shop counter.
  • Your own number stays in the phone, so calls and SMS from home (for example bank codes) still reach you.
  • Clear prepaid prices, no roaming bills afterwards.

TraveleSIM.ch is run by ConnectLingua Sàrl, a Swiss company based in Bulle. Everything happens online: there is no shop to visit.
