Frequently asked questions
What is an eSIM?+
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card built directly into your phone. Instead of inserting a physical SIM card, you activate a data plan by scanning a QR code. Your regular phone number and existing SIM stay active - the eSIM simply adds a second data connection for your destination.
Is my phone compatible with eSIM?+
Most modern smartphones support eSIM. Compatible devices include iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, and most flagship Android phones from 2020 onwards. Some budget and older devices may not support eSIM - check your phone settings under "Mobile Data" or "SIM & Network" to confirm.
How do I set up a Saily eSIM?+
Once you purchase a plan through Saily, you will receive a QR code by email. Simply open your phone's camera, scan the QR code, follow the on-screen prompts, and the eSIM will install in seconds. You can do this at home before you travel, then enable mobile data when you land.
Can I keep my regular phone number with an eSIM?+
Yes. eSIMs work in dual SIM mode alongside your existing physical SIM. Your regular number stays active for calls and texts, while the eSIM provides local data in your destination. You get the best of both.
How does eSIM compare to international roaming?+
International roaming through your UK provider can be very expensive - particularly outside the EU - and rates vary widely by destination. A Saily eSIM typically costs a fraction of roaming charges, with transparent pricing you choose in advance. There are no bill shock surprises.
Can one eSIM cover multiple countries?+
Yes. Saily offers regional plans that cover multiple countries under a single purchase. Their Europe plan, for example, covers 30+ countries - ideal if you are crossing borders on a multi-country trip.
What happens if I run out of data?+
You can top up your Saily eSIM remotely at any time via the Saily app or website - no need to find a local store or buy a new SIM card. Additional data is available to purchase instantly.
Is there a limit to how many eSIMs I can have?+
Most eSIM-compatible phones can store multiple eSIM profiles, though typically only one can be active at a time. This means you can purchase eSIMs for future trips in advance and switch between them as needed.
Does an eSIM work for calls and texts?+
Saily eSIM plans are data-only. For calls and texts, your regular physical SIM remains active. If you need to make calls while abroad, you can use data-based services like WhatsApp, FaceTime or Google Meet over your eSIM data connection.
What is Saily and why does Timms Travel use them?+
