eSIM in a Nutshell

eSIM (electronic SIM card) is a digital chip already built into your device. Instead of a plastic card you insert physically, you install a profile by scanning a QR code — and within a minute you're connected.

How Does It Work Abroad?

Buy a package for your destination, receive a QR code, scan it on your travel day. When you land, the eSIM automatically connects to the local network — no expensive roaming and no need to hunt for a store.

The Advantages

  • Fixed, known price in advance (no surprises)
  • Instant activation, no physical card
  • Your Israeli line stays active at the same time
  • You can buy ahead from home

Who Supports It?

Most devices from 2018 onwards (iPhone XS+, Galaxy S20+, Pixel 3+ and more). Quick check: dial *#06# and look for "EID".
