How to choose a travel eSIM
A travel eSIM is a data plan you download to your phone instead of buying a local SIM card. Four checks get you the right one.
Check your phone
Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Check your model before you buy.
Match the plan to your route
One country: buy a country plan. Several countries in one region: compare a regional plan. Several regions: consider a global plan, and check every stop is on its country list.
Pick data and days
Maps and messaging use about 1–3 GB a week; social media and video use more. Our travel data calculator estimates your trip.
Install before you fly
Install on Wi-Fi a day or two before you leave, then switch the travel eSIM on for data when you land. Check whether your plan starts when installed or when it first connects.

Travel eSIM questions, answered
Everything you need to know before your next trip.
How do eSIMs work for travel?
A travel eSIM is a digital SIM for a compatible, carrier-unlocked phone. Choose a plan for your destination and follow its installation instructions. You can keep your home line for calls and texts, but your home carrier may charge for using it abroad. Use the travel eSIM for mobile data and disable automatic data switching.Should you buy an eSIM before you travel?
Compare plans before you travel, but check the activation timing before buying. Some plans start after purchase or installation; others start on the first supported network connection. Follow the selected plan's instructions so you do not use up validity before your trip.Are travel eSIMs safe?
Keep your installation QR code private, use the official checkout, and follow the setup instructions supplied with your plan. Check device compatibility before paying. If a message asks you to share your password or installation code, contact Wanderly through the Help Center.How does an eSIM work for international travel?
Choose coverage for every country you will visit, then compare data allowance, validity and total price. Install using the instructions delivered by email. At your destination, select the travel eSIM for mobile data and enable roaming on that line if instructed; keep data roaming off on your home line.Do I need to activate my eSIM before travel?
Installation and activation are different steps, and timing varies by plan. Some plans start when purchased or installed, even if you leave the line switched off. Others start when they first connect to a supported network. Check the activation details before purchasing or installing.Which travel eSIM is best?
Choose a plan that covers your destination and lasts for your whole trip. Compare the total price, data allowance, supported networks and activation timing. If you need hotspot, calls, texts or top-ups, check those features on the selected plan; they are not included with every eSIM.
