What is an eSIM?
eSIM stands for “embedded” SIM which is installed in your phone by scanning a QR code or tapping a notification. If an activation date is required the QR code / Notification is sent after activation, else 24hours after completing your documentation.
eSIM Advantages
- Easy to use: Set up your plan by scanning a simple QR code or tapping a notification.
- Save on Shipping cost: No physical delivery requirement
- Save on time: In a rush to travel? We will send eSIM QR Code via email. Scan it as per instructions and It will be ready to use upon arrival.
- Keep your original SIM: The eSIM is in addition to your original SIM which will work as usual if you need it.
eSIM Disadvantages
- Unfamiliar: Since it is a new technology expect to be learning a bit.
- eSIM Compatible Phones: eSIM will only work in eSIM compatible phones. As a general rule, iPhone 11 and Android model 2021 and higher models are compatible with eSIM.
- Single Use Only: Most eSIM codes can be used only once. Please do not delete the eSIM created on your phone, since it cannot be recreated on your phone or any other phone. However you can de-activate the eSIM when not needed from your settings.
- Transfer of eSIM: To transfer an eSIM from one phone to another you must visit the store of the Operator concerned. However some USA eSIMs can be transferred from one iPhone to another.
Activating eSIM on your Device using a QR Code
Most eSIMs are installed using a QR code. The QR code is sent to you by eMail. You need an Internet connection to install an eSIM
iPhone XR, XS and newer
- Go to Settings, then Cellular.
- Select Add a plan, and the Camera app will open.
- Point your camera at the QR activation code until you see a message that says Installing cellular plan.
2021 Android and newer
- Go to Settings > Connections > SIM card manager
- Tap Add mobile plan
- Tap Add using QR code
- Scan the QR activation code
Activating eSIM on your Device using an Operator Notification
T-mobile, AT&T and some other operators make it even simpler to install eSIMs. They send a notification directly to your phone. Just tap on the notification and follow the instructions as in images below. The notification is sent to the phone you intend to use on your trip for which you have given us the EID and IMEI number by dialing *#06#.

Outgoing calls work without hitch. Internet speed good.
Drawbacks – 1. it’s an international call for even local guys calling you because it’s a UK number +44.
2. India calling not convenient because of 2 stage dialling. U have to key in the number after dialling the access number.
Services Tsim (verified owner) –
It is true the 2 stage dialing to India is not as convenient as direct dial, however we do have many direct dial options available in the drop down. Thank you for your balanced review.
Purvi Gandhi (verified owner) –
Absolutely amazing. No hassle. The moment I turned ON my mobile after reaching to Frankfurt, SIM started working. Network and speed was also nice. No problem for entire my trip. Thank you so much. Will definitely recommend and buy for my another foreign trip.

Shalin (verified owner) –
would like it if esim is available for this
Services Tsim (verified owner) –
Many European operators have not yet issued eSIMs for their offers. We are working with some operators to get more eSIM options and hope to have many more soon. Thank you for your suggestion.
Jai Anand (verified owner) –
2nd time I’m using this SIM card, it’s very good… As promised, SIM got activated after i reached the destination… Budget friendly SIM with good data speed..
Services Tsim (verified owner) –
Thank you for your kind words.
Tanusha C (verified owner) –
Was not able to use the SIM card as I was not provided SIM pin via email. Very disappointing and I faced issues abraod
Services Tsim (verified owner) –
The SIM PIN is printed on the extended SIM card. We do understand it is less convenient however many operators require it as a security measure. Thank you for taking the time to record your experience.
Rohit Gupta (verified owner) –
Absolutely amazing service by Tsim! The sim activated on arrival as promised (needs reboot once or twice/don’t forget to turn on international roaming and primary sim). The two stage dial was convenient, just dial the given two stage number followed by the Indian no. with country code. It worked every time. The coverage was too good, beyond my expectation. Right from small rural areas in Italy to top of Swiss mountains. The usage logged was fair, even with heavy usage I consumed about 5GB data in 13 days. I would definitely recommend Tsim to anyone going for a trip to Europe and looking for a local sim.

Thank you for your kind words and detailed review.
Savita (verified owner) –
I initially had an issue with the delivery date of the sim however the customer support team contacted me and offered another option of the e sim and they followed up with me even when I had reached my destination to check if my e sim was working or not.
I appreciate the attention and response to resolve the problem!
The e sim worked perfectly internationally, no problems at all. I recommend it!

Sourav (verified owner) –
I would recommend TSim to anyone travelling to Europe. Took the 10 GB 30 days plan with 2 stage dialing to India. Data worked flawlessly throughout my visit to Germany and Norway. 2 stage dialing mostly worked although faced issues on few occasions during my stay in Norway.
Services Tsim (verified owner) –
Thank you for your balanced review and recommendation.
Savitha (verified owner) –
Worked perfectly without any glitch! It would be great if we can have e-SIM option for this exact pack as well!
Services Tsim (verified owner) –
Thank you for your kind review. Unfortunately that operator has still not issued eSIMs. We will be the first to offer them when they do!
Atul (verified owner) –
Received the sim on time. Too many messages and email about dispatch and delivery. Too few messages about the actual phone number of the sim. I had to really work hard to find out the sim number.
I had opted for 10gb data and unlimited calls. However upon activation I found out it is 300 minutes of call ( not unlimited) but 50gb of data ( instead of 10gb).
So I started using the sim liberally thinking that I have 50gb data.
Then at 9gb usage I get a message that I have already used 90% of the data, as it was on roaming apparently.
Luckily it was towards the end of trip, so it was ok. But this could easily confuse others and become an issue.
Services Tsim (verified owner) –
It is true that operators send a confusing series of messages about the SIM cards. In the option you took the data available is higher in Spain (currently 50GB) and the message you received from the operator was about that limit. However in rest of Europe you get 10GB which is the limit we quote. We are constantly trying to improve our communication about the plan and feedback such as yours is invaluable in this process. We will also look into the number of messages regarding delivery. Thank you for your balanced review.

Divyanshu Jain (verified owner) –
The sim was delivered on time and worked perfectly.
Just 1 issue, terms said unlimited local calls and 10GB data.
But we received 300 mins calling and 50GB data.
But it was enough for my trip, so no issues
Services Tsim (verified owner) –
It is true the Operator has reduced the unlimited local calls in this option. The website has been modified. Thank you for pointing out the discrepancy and for your kind review.
rohit koul (verified owner) –
The sim works perfectly fine in all of the Europe. Didn’t face any issues while accessing the net or making calls. Will surely order again in case I am going for international travel

uma (verified owner) –
TSIM delivered the SIM in just 3 days. On reaching Paris airport, it got activated automatically. Speed was 4G at most of the locations in France and Italy. Coverage was also available more than 95% of the time I required. Overall it was worth. However, I would have been happy had there been any package of value around Rs 1000/- with proportionate data and voice, because this Rs 2000+ package, much of the data and voice was left waste for me.
Services Tsim (verified owner) –
Thank you for your balanced review. We are always on the look out for cheaper options.
Taru Raaj Agrawal (verified owner) –
