eSIM Global

eSIM Global: one prepaid data plan for 149 countries, from $6

Some trips simply refuse to stay in one region: a round-the-world ticket, a sales tour that touches three continents in a fortnight, or a gap year that drifts from Lisbon to Bangkok to Sydney. A Global eSIM handles all of it with one QR code and one dashboard. Buy online, install over Wi-Fi before the first flight, and the phone connects automatically in each covered country while your own number stays live on your primary SIM for calls and WhatsApp. No airport SIM queues, no roaming surprises, no card swapping at every border.

Global eSIM plans and validity

Plans start from $6 for 1GB and are available in 2GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB, 15GB and 20GB. Validity follows the size: 1GB for 7 days, 2GB for 10 days, 3GB for 14 days, 5GB for 21 days, and 10GB, 15GB and 20GB for 30 days. A short multi-stop business trip built on email, maps and ride-hailing fits into 3GB to 5GB; a month-long route with photo backups, streaming during layovers and video calls home is better served by 10GB or more; anyone tethering a laptop should look at 15GB or 20GB. The validity clock starts only when the eSIM first connects to a supported network somewhere in the covered list, so installing weeks ahead costs nothing.

Countries and coverage worldwide

The eSIM Global covers 149 countries across every inhabited continent, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Australia, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates and South Africa. In each country the device attaches to our partner network there, and moving between countries is automatic: land, switch on the phone, and it joins the local partner network without a new QR code or any manual configuration. Coverage is strongest in cities, airports and along main routes; remote regions, mountains and open countryside are weaker on any network, wherever in the world you are.

Installing your Global eSIM

• Order online and receive the QR code by email within minutes.
• Install over Wi-Fi before you leave home, on iPhone, Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel.
• On arrival in the first covered country, set the eSIM as your data line and enable data roaming for it.
• Your primary SIM stays active, so your own number keeps working alongside the eSIM.
• Hotspot and tethering are supported; top-ups are a tap away in the GlobaleSIM dashboard or app.

Calls and a phone number wherever you go

A voice-minutes bundle (+100, +200 or +300 minutes) adds a dedicated international phone number, US +1 or UK +44, to your Global eSIM for calls and SMS. On a multi-continent route that number is the one constant: hotels, airlines, banks and verification codes all reach you on the same line whether you are in Tokyo or Toronto. Data-only travelers do not get calling, but messaging apps keep working on the existing number since both SIMs run side by side.

Tips for multi-country and round-the-world routes

Check the covered-countries list on this page against every stop on your itinerary before you buy, including short layovers where you might want to message someone. Keep boarding passes, hotel confirmations and offline maps saved locally, because the first minutes after landing in a new country are exactly when you need them and the network is still connecting. Airport and hotel Wi-Fi vary enormously from country to country, so the eSIM should be your main line and Wi-Fi the backup. For a single-country trip, GlobaleSIM’s single-country and regional plans are usually the better fit.
