What is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan without using a physical SIM card. It is built directly into your device and can be programmed remotely.
Key Benefits
- No physical card needed — activate instantly via QR code or app
- Multiple plans — store several eSIM profiles on one device
- Travel-friendly — get local data plans before you arrive at your destination
- Eco-friendly — no plastic SIM cards or packaging waste
How does it work?
When you purchase a Flyahoy eSIM plan, you receive a QR code. Simply scan this code with your device camera to install the eSIM profile. Once installed, you can activate the data plan whenever you need it — even before your flight lands.
