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
- Check your phone. Your phone must support eSIM and be unlocked. Check compatibility.
- Choose a plan. Pick your destination, the amount of data and how many days you need in our eSIM store.
- Install it before you travel. Your eSIM arrives by email right after payment. Install it while you still have Wi-Fi at home.
- 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.
