What is an eSIM?
eSIM is short for embedded SIM, which is a small chip inside your phone or mobile device that lets you instantly download a data plan and get connected.
In other words, you don’t need to remove or replace your physical SIM card to add a secondary data plan to your device.

★★★★★
The best one out there with 2 year data validity and the prices are best as well, I have been using it over two years now and has not faced any issue, one of the best option available.
★★★★★
After a failed eSIM purchase, I went with Eskimo. Purchased 30 GB - Global eSim valid for 2 years and it worked straight away. Each country I arrived in, the eSIM connected straight away and was of high speed on the data networks. Highly recommended for those that travel frequently.
★★★★★
I’ve used it in South Korea 🇰🇷 , The Philippines 🇵🇭 , Indonesia 🇮🇩, and Thailand 🇹🇭. Worked everywhere. No need for any other app.
★★★★★
Great eSim. Only needs one installation, intelligently switches packages depending on the country. Valid for 2 years. Better and cheaper than two others I've tried.
★★★★★
Easy to set up and use. The ability to transfer data is very convenient as well. Fairly priced compared to similar products out there. Absolutely no issues with this eSIM.
★★★★★
Was introduced to use the eSIM for global auto roaming services and found it to be very easy to use and activate. Good referral program and very happy w its speed and reliability
★★★★★
The instructions for installation and setting up is clear and easy to understand. When i used in China, no restrictions to WhatsApp and other social media. Highly recommended to stay connected!
★★★★★
Like many people, I love to travel. In September I activated the ESIM and within a month I used it while traveling in Latvia, Germany, Span and in Russia. I liked the quality. And most importantly, it helped me, without delays in purchasing local SIM cards, I could immediately order a taxi through apps at the airport.
★★★★★
Changed phones and the data that I had previously purchased didn't transfer over automatically. Eskimos customer support was amazing at troubleshooting and finding a solution to my problem. I would recommend based on service alone but data was also great while I was in Taiwan and Japan.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about eSIMs, using Eskimo, and staying connected while you travel.
What is a free eSIM trial?
A free eSIM trial is a 500MB data-only eSIM that lets you test network coverage, speeds, and setup before committing to a paid plan. It’s a simple way to stay connected during international travel without relying on roaming or public Wi-Fi. No credit card or purchase required.
What’s included in the free eSIM?
The free eSIM includes 500MB of mobile data with coverage in 109 supported countries, covering many popular travel destinations. This includes places like the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Thailand, and other major travel hubs. It’s suitable for light usage such as maps, messaging apps, ride-hailing, and quick browsing while testing the service on your device.
Do I need a credit card to get the free eSIM?
No. You don’t need to enter a credit card or any payment details to claim or use the free eSIM. You’ll only be asked for payment information if you later choose to top up to continue using data.
How does a free trial eSIM differ from a paid plan?
There’s no difference in terms of network coverage or connection quality. You can use the free eSIM in 109 supported countries at LTE or 5G speeds, just like you would with a paid eSIM. The main difference is the data allowance.
What devices are compatible with the free eSIM?
To use the free eSIM, you’ll need an eSIM-compatible device. Most modern smartphones support eSIM, including iPhones from the iPhone XR and newer models. You can check compatibility before installing to be sure.
How do I install and activate the free eSIM?
You can install the free eSIM through the app using the direct install method, or by scanning a QR code. The QR code will be available after you log in to the app on a compatible device, and the app includes step-by-step guidance to ensure a smooth installation and activation process, with guides available for iOS and Android.
When should I redeem the free eSIM?
You can claim the free eSIM now and activate it closer to your travel date. The free eSIM can be stored for up to 2 years, and once you start using it, the validity resets, giving you plenty of time to use the data without rushing.
Do I need to remove my primary SIM card to use the free eSIM?
No. You can activate and use the free eSIM alongside your primary SIM card. This allows you to keep your regular number active to receive SMS messages or OTPs, while using the free eSIM for mobile data abroad.
Can I use hotspot or tethering with the free eSIM?
Yes, the free eSIM allows hotspot and tethering, and connected devices will use the same mobile network as your phone. Keep in mind that speeds may vary when sharing data, especially if multiple devices are connected, and the 500MB data allowance can be used up quickly. It’s best suited for light or short-term use.
What happens after the free eSIM data runs out?
Once the 500MB is fully used, your data connection will stop automatically. Eskimo will not auto-charge you. If you want to continue using data, you can choose to top up with a prepaid eSIM plan, and there’s no need to reinstall the eSIM.
Can I extend my free trial or get more data?
The free eSIM trial itself can’t be extended automatically. However, you can earn more free data through Eskimo’s referral program. When you invite a friend, and they join using an eSIM-compatible device, both of you receive 500MB of free Global data (up to 15GB). What’s more, complete milestones, and stand a chance to earn up to 300GB of Global data through sure-win scratch cards.
How long will the free eSIM offer be available?
The free eSIM trial is offered for a limited time and may change or end without notice. If you’re planning a trip, it’s best to claim the free eSIM early so you don’t miss out.
