When traveling overseas, your local phone plan likely doesn’t include data access in your destination country. If you have an eSIM on your iPhone, it will make it easier to stay connected without the hassles of buying, carrying, and swapping physical SIM cards.
If you are planning an international trip soon, here are tips on how to use an eSIM on your iPhone.
eSIMs and iPhones
If you won an iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, or later versions, your iPhone is compatible with an eSIM. Some iPhones have a SIM tray that can be used for both a physical SIM and an eSIM.
To install an eSIM on your iPhone, select a wireless carrier or worldwide service provider that supports eSIM, like RemitBee. Your phone must also be connected to a Wi-Fi network. If your iPhone is locked to a carrier, you can only use the services of that carrier. You can add multiple eSIMs and plans through it. To know if your iPhone is unlocked, go to Settings > General > About. “No SIM restrictions” will appear next to Carrier Lock if your iPhone is unlocked.
The Convenience of eSIMs for International Travels
Having an eSIM on your iPhone when traveling internationally is convenient. Imagine, you don’t need to problematize about buying and swapping physical SIM cards. If your iPhone has more than one eSIM installed, you can have up to eight eSIMs (depending on the iPhone model) and use them for different purposes, such as personal or business.
Using an eSIM on your iPhone is also economical because you can stay constantly connected abroad while dodging the expensive roaming charges local networks charge on data plans.
Many eSIM carriers offer prepaid plan options you can buy on their websites or apps before you arrive at your destination. You can also visit your carrier’s kiosk or store at the airport or other locations to purchase your specific plan. They may offer more affordable local data, voice, and text plans. To activate your eSIM digitally, carriers will provide the steps via a QR code or the carrier app.
