What is an eSim and how does it work ?

What is an eSIM ?

An eSIM is a digital SIM card embedded directly into your mobile device. It allows you to activate a mobile plan without needing to insert a physical SIM card.

With Orange Travel, select your eSIM based on your destination, purchase it online, and instantly receive a QR code by email to activate it. Stay connected anywhere in just a few clicks.

4 reasons why adopt eSIM

No more switching SIMs

eSIM stands for "embedded SIM." This means no physical card to insert or swap. With eSIM, you can have multiple profiles stored on your device.

Get connected in minutes

No need to visit a store or wait for SIM card delivery. Use your eSIM immediately, wherever you are, as long as your device is recognized by the operator.

Take control of your consumption

Manage your data usage with ease through the Orange Travel app. Top-up packages when you need them and only pay for what you use.

Better for the environment

Switching to eSIM reduces plastic waste and streamlines the production process—from manufacturing to distribution.
