What is an eSIM? Definition, benefits and European data plans
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into your phone. It lets you add a mobile data plan without swapping the physical SIM. With eSIM Nelimitat, the plan arrives by email as a QR code seconds after payment.
Definition: An eSIM is an operator profile stored in your device’s eSIM chip. After you scan the QR code, the phone downloads the profile, registers on the partner network and uses the purchased data allowance.
What eSIM Nelimitat offers
eSIM Nelimitat is a store for mobile data eSIM plans for travellers, international drivers, fleets and business trips. You buy a plan, receive a QR code by email and go online in the covered countries — no contract and no home-operator roaming.
Benefits versus classic roaming
- Keep your home SIM for calls and SMS; data runs on the eSIM.
- Avoid expensive roaming from your home operator.
- Activate before departure or after landing, using Wi-Fi.
- Hotspot is allowed on eSIM Nelimitat plans so you can share data with a laptop.
Compare data volume, validity and coverage, then activate from your phone settings.
