How does Simbye eSIM work for worldwide travel?
Pick your plan and get the QR code
Choose 20, 50 or 100 GB, pay online and the QR code plus an install link arrive by email straight away. Nothing to ship, nothing to wait for.
Install before you fly
Scan the QR code calmly at home – or tap the link later on airport Wi-Fi, in Dubai (DXB), Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK), Istanbul (IST), Singapore Changi (SIN), Tokyo Haneda (HND), New York (JFK), São Paulo Guarulhos (GRU) or Johannesburg (JNB). The 30 days only start when the eSIM first connects to a network abroad.
Switch it on after landing
Flight mode off, data roaming on for the eSIM line – done. From that moment you have internet, your +33 number for calls and texts, and a hotspot for laptop and tablet.
Check Device Compatibility
Make sure your device supports eSIM before purchasing
Which networks will you be on in over 140 countries?
How your phone gets online in every country – one setting is all it takes.
 |
|---|
In every country the eSIM picks an Orange Worldwide partner network by itself. There is almost nothing to set up: turn the phone on, allow data roaming for the eSIM line, wait a moment. No manual APN is needed. If nothing happens a few minutes after landing, flight mode on for ten seconds and off again fixes it almost every time; if that is not enough, run a manual network search in your mobile settings once and pick another network from the list – if it does not connect, switch back to automatic. On your next border crossing the phone switches over on its own, usually while you are still travelling or shortly after you land.
Coverage is dense in cities and metro areas – Bangkok, Dubai, Istanbul, Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, New York, Mexico City, São Paulo, Cape Town, Sydney. Along coastlines, in the classic holiday regions and on major highways you are normally connected the whole way. It thins out where almost nobody lives: the Sahara, the Amazon basin, the Australian outback, the high Andes, remote Pacific islands. A local SIM card usually has no signal there either. You get 5G wherever the local partner network offers it, otherwise the connection runs on 4G.
eSIM or a local SIM card in over 140 countries?
On a multi-country trip the eSIM wins outright: one +33 number and one plan carry across borders on their own, while local cards mean a new purchase, a new number and passport registration in places like Thailand or India.
| Feature |  Simbye eSIM |
Local SIM card |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | QR code from your email, done in a few minutes | Finding a shop at the airport, often with a queue |
| Crossing a border | Nothing to do, the phone joins the new network by itself | Buy and swap a new card in every country |
| ID and registration | Not required, you are a guest on the network | Passport registration in Thailand, the Emirates, India, Türkiye and many more |
| Phone number | One fixed +33 number for the whole trip | A new number in every country, old contacts cannot reach you |
| Paying | Online before you leave home | Cash or a local card at the counter, in local currency |
| Calls and texts | 15, 30 or 60 international minutes and 50 texts, depending on the plan | Usually local minutes only, international calls cost extra |
| SIM slot | Runs digitally alongside your home SIM | The card takes the slot, your home number is out |
| When something goes wrong | Help by email and WhatsApp in your language | Only the shop on site, usually only in the local language |
For most travelers the eSIM is the simpler choice: set up before departure, no queuing on arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions about Worldwide eSIM
Data, calls, real phone numbers, top-ups and setup — everything you need to know before you buy a Simbye eSIM.
An eSIM for worldwide travel is one that works in over 140 countries across every continent – Europe, North and South America, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. An eSIM for worldwide travel is a digital SIM card built into your phone. It does not literally cover every country on earth, so just ask us before you buy whether your route is covered – by email or WhatsApp.
Yes, you really get a phone number. You get a real number with the French +33 prefix. People can call you, you can call out and send texts – depending on the plan you get 15, 30 or 60 international call minutes and 50 texts.
Yes, data is shared across all countries. It is one allowance for the whole trip, whether you stay in one country or cross eight. Nothing is split per country.
No, you needn't register or show a passport. In many countries a local SIM card means showing your passport and being registered. That does not apply here – you travel as a guest on the partner networks.
Layovers and cruises differ: on land the eSIM connects automatically in the transit country, so a stopover costs no extra card. Out at sea there is no mobile network. The ship's own onboard service is not part of the coverage – in port and on land you are connected again.
You buy a worldwide eSIM online on this page — pick the data size and validity, pay, and the QR code plus your number arrive by email within minutes. Nothing is shipped, so you can order the night before departure. Scan the code at home over Wi-Fi and the line is ready to switch on at your first stop.
A worldwide eSIM starts at 30,95€, and the final price depends on the data volume and validity you choose – the table above on this page shows every plan with its current rate. A two-week multi-country trip needs less data than a months-long round-the-world route with daily streaming and video calls, so pick the size that matches your itinerary.
Yes, you can make and receive calls with this worldwide eSIM, since the plan comes with its own number. The included international minutes and texts differ per plan size — the plan table above on this page shows what each one contains. WhatsApp, Signal and FaceTime keep working over the data as usual.
Data needs for a multi-country trip depend on your daily pattern, not the number of countries. Maps, translation, WhatsApp and email sit near 200 MB a day. Add photo uploads and social feeds and you are at 500 MB. Streaming and a laptop on the hotspot mean 1 to 2 GB a day, so 30 to 60 over a month. The sizes sit in the plan table above.
The eSIM that is best for international travel is one that follows you across countries, rather than buying a new one at every border. This one picks an Orange Worldwide partner network in over 140 countries and brings a real +33 number with calls and texts. Coverage is dense in cities and along main roads and thinner far away from them. Validity is 30 days.
Yes. Because you get a real phone number, SMS verification codes arrive directly on your phone — so you can sign up for or verify WhatsApp, Telegram, banking apps and almost any service. No extra app required.
No. This is a real eSIM with a real number that works natively on your phone — calls use your normal dialer and texts land in your phone's Messages app. The Simbye app is optional and only used to manage your plan.
Yes. You can make and receive calls and SMS with your included number — just like a local SIM, with no contract and no roaming bills. International calls are included as a set number of minutes depending on your plan.
