## What is an eSIM?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM that lets you activate a cellular data plan without inserting a physical SIM card. You purchase a plan online, scan a QR code with your smartphone, and your device connects to local mobile networks in your destination country. eSIMs work on iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and most modern smartphones released after 2020.

## Common questions

**Does a Simology eSIM work in my destination?**
Yes. It connects to local mobile networks in 200+ countries and regions, giving you 4G/5G data as soon as you arrive — no physical SIM and no roaming fees.

**How much does a Simology eSIM cost?**
Plans start from roughly $1.50–$5 depending on the destination, data amount and validity; you only pay for what you need. Exact per-country pricing is in [llms-full.txt](https://simology.io/llms-full.txt).

**Which mobile networks does a Simology eSIM use?**
It roams onto established local carriers in each country (e.g. NTT Docomo in Japan, Turkcell in Turkey, Movistar in Spain) and automatically selects the best available signal. The full per-country carrier list is in llms-full.txt.

**Is an eSIM cheaper than roaming?**
Usually. A Simology eSIM is a fixed prepaid plan you buy before you travel, so you avoid pay-as-you-go roaming rates and surprise bills; roaming cost varies by your home carrier.

**Will my phone work with a Simology eSIM?**
Most eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked smartphones and tablets from the last few years work, including recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models.

**Can I hotspot or top up?**
Hotspot/tethering is supported on most plans, and you can top up data or buy another plan anytime in the Simology app or website.
