Travel eSIMs
Get mobile data in another country without swapping your SIM. Buy a plan, scan the QR code on your phone and connect — your regular number stays active for calls and texts while the eSIM handles data.
How it works
- Choose your destination country or region and pick a data plan — prices are shown in naira before you confirm.
- After purchase a QR code appears on your order page instantly.
- Open your phone's camera or eSIM settings, scan the QR code and follow the prompts to install the plan.
- Turn on the eSIM line when you arrive at your destination and you are connected.
Why use a travel eSIM
No SIM swap — your physical SIM stays in the phone. You keep your number for calls and texts while the eSIM provides data.
Instant delivery — the QR code is ready on your order page the moment you buy. No waiting for a card in the post or visiting a shop at the airport.
Pay in naira — all eSIM plans are priced from your NUMBAXS wallet. No foreign currency charges or surprise roaming bills.
Top up if you need more — additional data packages can be added from your order page without installing a new eSIM.
Device compatibility
Most modern smartphones support eSIM, including iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and many other recent Android devices. To check, look for "Add eSIM" or "Add cellular plan" in your phone's mobile network settings. If the option is not there, your device may not support eSIM or may be carrier-locked.
Common questions
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM that lives inside your phone instead of a physical card. You activate it by scanning a QR code — no need to visit a shop, swap trays or carry a second phone.
Which phones support eSIM?
Most iPhones from the XS onward, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and many other recent Android devices. Check your phone's settings for an "Add eSIM" or "Add cellular plan" option to confirm.
Can I use an eSIM alongside my regular SIM?
Yes. The eSIM runs as a second line — your regular number stays active for calls and texts while the eSIM provides data in the destination country.
How do I activate the eSIM?
After purchase you receive a QR code on your order page. Open your phone's camera or eSIM settings, scan the code, and follow the on-screen prompts. Activation is usually instant.
What happens when I use all the data?
You can top up from your order page if additional data packages are available for your destination. If no top-up is available, the eSIM simply stops providing data — it does not incur any overage charges.
