What is eSIM? Explained in the Simplest Way 

1. What is an eSIM?

eSIM stands for embedded SIM. Unlike traditional physical SIM cards that you insert into your phone, an eSIM is a built-in digital chip embedded directly into your device.

This chip allows you to activate a mobile plan digitally, without needing a plastic SIM card.

In short: eSIM is the digital version of a SIM card — no physical swapping, no shipping, no hassle.

2. How Does eSIM Work?

9. Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I set up my EasyAlo eSIM?

To set up your EasyAlo eSIM, ensure you’re connected to Wi-Fi first. We recommend installing and activating your eSIM shortly before your trip. While it's also possible to activate it upon arrival, Wi-Fi is required for setup. This way, you're ready to connect the moment you land.

2. I'm having trouble setting up the eSIM. What should I do?

If you're trying to install the eSIM manually, you may encounter issues. We suggest using the QR code method. You can save the QR code to your gallery by tapping the "share" button or taking a screenshot. During setup, choose “Open Photos” when scanning and select the saved QR code. If problems persist, restart your phone and try again.

3. I've installed eSIM but can't connect to the internet. Why?

After installing your eSIM, you may need to adjust some settings. Make sure "Data Roaming" is turned on under Settings > Cellular > eSIM. Depending on your device language or brand, this option might be named "International Data" or "Data Roaming". Enabling it should restore internet connectivity.

4. Why choose eSIM for travel?

eSIM technology allows travelers to easily connect to local mobile networks without needing a physical SIM card. It’s a cost-effective, convenient solution, especially as roaming charges evolve. At EasyAlo, we aim to provide seamless connectivity with local rates and simple activation — wherever you go.

5. Can I store multiple eSIM profiles on my device?

Yes. The number of profiles your device can store depends on the model. For example, recent iPhones allow you to save multiple eSIMs but use only one at a time. Dual SIM devices let you use both a physical SIM and eSIM simultaneously. EasyAlo’s flexible setup makes switching between profiles easy.

6. Can I use my SIM card and EasyAlo eSIM at the same time?

Absolutely. You can keep your physical SIM active for calls and SMS, while using EasyAlo eSIM for data. This is perfect for avoiding roaming charges. Just remember, using your SIM for calls/texts abroad might incur charges from your home carrier — check their policies beforehand.

7. Can I keep my WhatsApp number?

Yes. Your WhatsApp number, contacts, and chats are linked to your account — not your SIM card. So you can continue using WhatsApp without making any changes, even after switching to EasyAlo eSIM.

10. In Summary: Why Choose eSIM?

• It’s faster, smarter, and greener
• You’re no longer tied to a physical card
• It’s made for the modern, connected lifestyle
