What is an eSIM, and how do I get one?

An eSIM is a SIM that lives inside your phone instead of on a little plastic card.

An eSIM is a SIM built into your phone. No plastic card, no post, no tiny tray to poke open. It does exactly what a SIM card does: gives you a number, calls, texts and data.

How you get one. Join Simp+ or Simp Pro, then tap Install eSIM in the Simp app. Your phone adds the new line itself, so there is no code to scan.

Only in the app. You install your eSIM from the Simp app, and that's the only way. We never email a QR code and we never post a SIM card, so if anyone sends you a code claiming to be your Simp eSIM, it isn't from us.

Simp AI doesn't come with an eSIM at all, because it works alongside the network you already have.

Why it's nice.

• It arrives in minutes, not days.
• Nothing to lose or snap.
• Your phone can hold your Simp line and another line together, handy if you keep a work number.
• If your phone is lost or stolen, nobody can pop your SIM out and use it.

You need a phone that supports eSIM. Most recent phones do: see Will my phone work with Simp?
