Description

esim.me is a unique solution that adds eSIM compatibility to your existing smartphones via a physical eSIM.me card inserted in the SIM slot and managed by the free app. Covering 144 countries through its marketplace, it allows downloading data eSIM profiles (from 1GB to unlimited, 1-30 days) for trips, with prices from €10.
