What is an eSim and how does it work ?

What is an eSIM ?

  • An eSIM is a SIM profile loaded on an embedded and non-removable SIM card inside a mobile device enabling the use of a mobile plan without having to insert a physical SIM card into a mobile.
  • With Orange Travel, choose the eSIM you need according to your travel destination, make your purchase and immediately receive by e-mail your QR code to install your eSIM card on your device or install it right away using our app

4 reasons why adopt eSIM

No more switching SIMs

eSIM stands for embedded SIM. This means that it is not a physical SIM card that requires insertion or swapping. It’s a downsized version fully integrated in the device. It is possible to have several eSIMs installed on your mobile.

Get connected in minutes

No need to go to a shop or wait for delivery of a SIM card. You can use the eSIM immediately wherever you are, the eSIM just has to be recognized by the operator network. Click to know if your mobile is compatible with eSIM.

Take control of your consumption

Data usage isn’t predictable, so we made it easy to top-up within the Orange Travel app. You can add top-up packages whenever you want, and you only pay for what you need.

Better for the environment

Not only is plastic waste minimized if the SIM goes fully digital, but also the entire production process, from plastic sourcing to distribution, is eliminated.
