Travel eSIM for business: keeping your team online abroad

Business travel is back, and so are unexpected roaming bills. Staff need maps, email, messaging and video calls the moment they land. Travel data eSIMs make that simple and predictable.

What is a travel eSIM?

An eSIM is a digital SIM built into the phone. A travel eSIM adds a prepaid data plan for a specific country or region, which the traveller installs by scanning a QR code. No plastic SIM card, no shop visit.

Why businesses choose travel eSIMs

Predictable costs: prepaid bundles instead of open-ended roaming.
Online on arrival: install before departure, connect on landing.
Keep the normal number: the eSIM adds data alongside the main SIM.
One account for every traveller in the company.

How it works in practice

Choose a bundle for the destination: a country, a region or global.
Send the QR code to the traveller.
The traveller installs it before departure on Wi-Fi.
On arrival, the phone connects automatically and uses the eSIM for data.

Tips for travel managers

Keep a short list of supported phones for staff.
Choose bundles with enough data for video calls and hotspots.
Set up regional bundles for staff visiting several countries on one trip.

Frequently asked questions

Do all phones support eSIM?

Most recent smartphones support eSIM. Staff can check in their phone settings, or ask your IT team, before they travel.

Can staff still receive calls on their normal number?

Yes. The travel eSIM provides data only, alongside the phone’s main SIM, so the normal number stays active.

When should the eSIM be installed?

Ideally before departure, while connected to Wi-Fi. The data plan starts when the phone connects to a network in the destination.
