Does my phone support eSIM?

Questions

Before you buy

What is an eSIM?

A SIM you download. No plastic, no tray to open: you scan a QR and your phone adds a new data line next to the one you already have.

Will my phone work?

If it's an iPhone XS or later, a Pixel 3 or later, a Galaxy S20 or later, or almost any flagship from the last few years, yes. It must not be carrier-locked. To be sure, dial *#06#: if an “EID” shows up, it supports eSIM.

How many GB do I need?

Maps, WhatsApp and some browsing run about 1 GB a week. Add video or hotspot sharing and count on 5 GB for a week, 10 GB for two. You can always buy another eSIM if you run short.

I'm visiting several countries. Do I need several eSIMs?

If they're European, no: the Europe plan covers more than thirty countries on one eSIM. Same for the North America, South America, Asia and Global plans. For unrelated continents, one eSIM per destination usually works out better.

Can I buy it in advance?

Yes, and you should. The days don't start counting until the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination, so you can buy and install it weeks ahead without spending anything.

Are you an operator?

No. Zas sells travel eSIMs: we resell data from local operators. We are not an airline and not a traditional mobile operator.

Installing

When should I install it?

Before you leave, on Wi‑Fi. Downloading the profile needs a connection; activating it doesn't. If you wait until you land, you'll be without data exactly when you need it.

Can I install it on two phones?

No. The profile downloads once and stays tied to that handset. If you're changing phones before the trip, write to us before installing it.

I deleted the email. Can I get the QR back?

Yes. Sign in to your account with your email and you'll find the QR and codes for every order.

The QR doesn't work.

Use the manual install: the order page has the SM-DP+ address and activation code to type in by hand. If that fails too, write to us with your order number.

At your destination

When do the days start counting?

From the first time the eSIM connects to a network at your destination. Not from when you buy it, and not from when you install it.

How do I stop my home operator charging me?

When you land, switch on the Zas eSIM, set it as your data line and turn off data roaming on your physical SIM. Your usual number stays there for calls and SMS.

Do WhatsApp, Maps and Uber work?

Yes. Anything that runs on data works the same. Your WhatsApp account stays tied to your usual number.

Can I make calls and send SMS?

Not with the Zas eSIM: it's data only, with no number attached. Your usual SIM stays in the phone for calls and SMS. To talk, use WhatsApp calls or FaceTime.

Can I share data (hotspot)?

Yes, on every plan. It comes out of the same allowance.

What happens when I run out of data?

The eSIM stops carrying data. You buy another and install it there and then; there's nothing to wait for.

Money

Is that the final price?

Yes. Price in euros, VAT included, no charges on arrival. What the button says is what gets charged.

Do I get an invoice?

Yes, a PDF with VAT broken out. Request it from your account or by replying to the order email.

What if it doesn't work?

Write to us with your order number. If the eSIM can't be installed, or gets no signal at your destination and hasn't been used, we refund you.

Can I cancel after buying?

The eSIM is digital content delivered instantly, so paying waives the 14-day right of withdrawal. That doesn't change the line above: if the product fails, we answer for it.

Still stuck?

Write to ayuda@zasesim.com with your order number. We answer the same day.
