Frequently Asked Questions

An eSIM is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a data plan on your phone without needing to insert a physical card. With a travel eSIM, you can buy your plan online, install it in seconds, and have internet at your destination from the very first moment—without searching for stores or paying roaming fees.

MyRoamUp plans include mobile data, so they don’t offer traditional calls or SMS. However, you can still communicate using your usual number through apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram, Skype, Google Meet, or Zoom, which work perfectly with your internet connection.

Yes. In cities such as Cape Town, Johannesburg, or Durban, there is advanced mobile infrastructure that allows you to use mobile data for maps, bookings, or communication during your trip.

This makes it easier to get around the city, look for restaurants, or find tourist attractions.

In natural parks such as Kruger National Park, coverage may vary depending on the area. Near lodges, campsites, or tourist areas, it is usually possible to use mobile internet.

Most recent smartphones are already eSIM compatible. These include many iPhone XS and newer iPhones, as well as models from Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Huawei, Oppo, and Xiaomi.

You can check if your phone supports eSIM in several ways:

Dial #06# on your phone
If an EID code appears on the screen, your device is eSIM compatible.

Check your phone settings
On many devices, you can find it under:
Settings → Mobile Data / Connections → Add eSIM or Add Mobile Plan.

Check the list of compatible devices
If you’re unsure, you can review the list of eSIM-compatible devices on our website or on the manufacturer’s website.

If your phone is compatible, you’ll be able to install your eSIM in just a few minutes and have internet at your destination without changing your regular SIM.

No problem. If you use up all the GB in your plan, you can easily top up your data from your private customer area on MyRoamUp.

Simply log in to your account and choose the GB package that best suits your trip. The top-up will be activated within minutes so you can keep using the internet at your destination without interruptions.

Many travelers explore South Africa by visiting Cape Town, the Garden Route, or Johannesburg. On main roads and in cities, it is common to be able to use mobile data during the trip to check routes or look up information.

Many travelers use an eSIM for South Africa, which allows them to activate mobile data directly on their phone.

This lets you have internet throughout your itinerary without having to buy a local SIM card or change your SIM card when arriving in the country.

What people say about us...

★★★★★
I bought the eSIM for my trip to South Korea and honestly, 10/10. As soon as I got off the plane, I already had data—I didn’t have to do anything else. I got around Seoul using only Google Maps and it never failed me.
Carlos Mendez
★★★★★
I used it in Italy and Switzerland. It worked well most of the time, although it got a bit slow on the train—nothing serious. I’d still use it again because it’s more convenient than buying a physical SIM card.
Maru.Gonzalez
★★★★★
I’m not very tech-savvy, but it was quite easy to install. I followed the steps and that was it—I thought it would be more complicated. It worked perfectly for me in Paris for 12 days.

★★★★★
I bought it for a business trip to the USA and honestly, super practical. I arrived, activated it, and was already connected. No crazy roaming charges or anything unusual.

★★★★★
It worked well for me in Lisbon and Porto, but in a more rural area it took a bit longer to reconnect… still, it was very useful and I never ran out of data.

★★★★★
I used it in Thailand and Vietnam and honestly had zero issues. I uploaded photos every day and even made video calls. It’s great for backpackers.

★★★★★
The activation was simple, although I had to restart my phone once—I’m not sure why. After that, everything worked normally. Good speed for social media and maps.
Roberto Sánchez C.
★★★★★
This is the second time I’ve bought an eSIM for traveling (I used it in Germany before), and it has always worked well for me. I like that I don’t have to keep swapping physical SIM cards every time.
Lau_martins
★★★★★
The signal in Japan was quite stable, even in the subway. The only thing is that support took a while to respond to a query, but they did reply and resolved it.

★★★★★
The best option if you don’t want to pay roaming. I bought it for Canada for 30 days and even had data left over—I was able to share internet with my girlfriend. Highly recommended, easy and quick to activate.
