Global eSIM Data Plans, Stay Connected Abroad
A SMSBulk eSIM gives you mobile data in 200+ destinations without a physical SIM card or a roaming bill. Buy a plan with your existing balance, scan the QR code, and you are online in minutes. Plans are pay as you go, the price is shown before you buy, and you keep one wallet for SMS, email and eSIM.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM built into modern phones. Instead of slotting in a plastic card, you install a mobile data plan as a software profile, usually by scanning a QR code. Most recent iPhone, Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy devices support eSIM, and you can keep your normal SIM active at the same time.
For travel this means you land in a new country and already have data, without hunting for a local SIM kiosk or paying your home carrier’s roaming rates. The plan covers exactly the destination and data amount you choose, and when it expires you simply buy another.
How a SMSBulk eSIM works
The flow is three steps and takes just a couple of minutes.
Choose your destination
Pick a country, a region, or a global plan. Every plan shows the data amount and validity up front before you buy.
Pay from your balance
Buy the plan with your SMSBulk wallet, the same balance you use for SMS and email. Any loyalty discount is already applied.
Scan and install
Scan the QR code, or on iPhone tap install directly. The eSIM activates in minutes and you are online, with no extra app to download.
There is nothing to ship and nothing to return. Your plan lives on your phone as a profile, and you can install it before you travel so you are connected the moment you land.

eSIM pricing and value
eSIM plans are pay as you go. You pick the destination and data amount, and the price is shown before you confirm. There is no subscription and no minimum.
- One wallet. eSIM is paid from the same SMSBulk balance as SMS and email, topped up with cryptocurrency through Cryptomus.
- Loyalty pricing. Your loyalty tier discount applies to eSIM plans just like the rest of the platform.
- No roaming surprises. You pay a fixed price for a known data amount, so there is no bill shock when you get home.
- Pay for what you need. Plans range from small short trip bundles to larger long stay allowances; pick the one that fits and buy another any time.
Prices vary by destination and change with availability. You always see the exact price before you buy, and the data amount and validity are stated on every plan.

eSIM vs roaming and physical SIM cards
There are three common ways to get data abroad. An eSIM is usually the fastest and most predictable.
- vs roaming: Carrier roaming works everywhere but often costs several times the local rate, sometimes billed by the megabyte. An eSIM is a fixed price for a known allowance.
- vs a local SIM: A local SIM can be cheap but means finding a shop, showing ID, and swapping out your home SIM. An eSIM installs from your seat before you land and keeps your main number active.
- vs pocket Wi-Fi: A rented hotspot is one more device to carry and charge. An eSIM lives on the phone you already have.
If your phone supports eSIM, a travel data plan is the simplest option: buy it in advance, install once, and arrive already connected. For phone number verification while you travel, SMSBulk also offers SMS verification from 200+ countries.
Frequently asked questions
Will an eSIM work on my phone?
Most phones from the last few years support eSIM, including recent iPhone, Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy models. Your phone also needs to be carrier unlocked. You can check in your phone settings for an "Add eSIM" or "Add data plan" option.
How do I install the eSIM?
After you buy a plan, SMSBulk shows you a QR code. Scan it from another screen, or on iPhone tap the install link directly. The profile installs in about a minute and you choose when to switch your data to it.
Does it replace my normal SIM?
No. An eSIM is added alongside your existing SIM, so you keep your usual number for calls and texts while using the eSIM for data.
When does the plan start?
Validity typically begins when the eSIM connects to a network in the destination, not when you install it, so you can set it up before you travel. The exact terms are shown on each plan.
What if I run out of data?
You can buy another plan at any time from your dashboard. Plans are pay as you go, so you only ever buy what you need.
How do I pay?
eSIM plans are paid from your SMSBulk balance, the same wallet used for SMS and email verification, which you top up with cryptocurrency through Cryptomus.
