Question General Questions About Using eSIMs

[WeekendWanderer]

My iPhone supports eSIMs and it's unlocked. I'm curious about using an eSIM from a company while traveling. How does it work exactly? Do you need to have a physical SIM card as well, or can you just use the eSIM? Also, how do you manage data plans and costs? If anyone has experience with this, I'd appreciate some insights or tips on getting started with eSIMs for travel.

Using an eSIM for travel is quite straightforward, especially with an unlocked iPhone. You don't need a physical SIM card; the eSIM acts as a digital SIM, allowing you to activate a cellular plan from a carrier. To get started, you'll typically download the eSIM profile from the provider's app or website, then follow the setup instructions on your phone. Managing data plans and costs is usually done through the provider's app, where you can monitor usage and top up as needed. It's a convenient option for travelers, offering flexibility and often better rates than roaming. Have you looked into any specific eSIM providers yet?
