eSIM Frequently Asked Questions

An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of inserting a chip, you scan a QR code and your phone downloads the data plan. When you arrive at your destination you connect to local 4G/5G networks, with no roaming and without removing your usual SIM. Read the complete eSIM guide.

Because you pay once, a final price, with no contracts and no surprise bills when you get home. With MiSimCard.com you get unlimited data with plans from USD 2.89, your eSIM arrives instantly and you keep using WhatsApp with your usual number. Carrier roaming is usually charged per day or per MB and can be much more expensive.

Choose based on your destination:

• One country: that country’s eSIM, for example the USA eSIM or the Mexico eSIM.
• Several European countries: the Europe eSIM.
• USA, Mexico and Canada on the same trip: the North America eSIM.
• Several continents: the International eSIM.

If you’re only going to the USA or only to Europe, that destination’s eSIM costs less than the International one. Not sure? Message us on WhatsApp and we’ll help you 24/7.
