Travel is exciting. The phone bill that arrives two weeks later isn't.
International roaming still catches people off guard and the usual workaround means hunting for a local SIM at the airport.
Travel eSIM by Truecaller is built to skip all of that.
What is Travel eSIM?
Travel eSIM is a digital data plan you can buy and activate in the Truecaller app or on the web - no physical SIM, no shop visit, no swapping cards. You pick a country, pick a plan, and you're online the moment you land.
At launch, it works across 29 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and 18 destinations across Europe.
Setup takes only a few minutes and it's best to do it before you fly:
- Pick your country and plan. Open the Truecaller app or visit the web, choose where you're going, and pick the plan that fits your trip.
- Pay. Use your card to complete the purchase.
- Add it to your phone. Tap the activation link or scan the QR code. Follow the prompts in your phone settings to install the eSIM.
- Switch it on when you land. Turn on Travel eSIM in your settings, and you're online.
How Travel eSIM helps
✔ ️ No roaming bill surprises
You see the price upfront and pay before you travel. No mystery charges when you get home.
✔ ️ Set up in minutes
Buy and activate from the Truecaller app or the web — before you leave, or right after you land.
✔ ️ Plans for every kind of trip
From 1 GB for a quick visit to 20 GB for a month away, you only pay for what you actually need.
✔ ️ Keep your number
Travel eSIM runs alongside your existing line. Your regular number stays active; data routes through the eSIM.
✔ ️ Stay in touch like usual
You get data, not a new phone line. So WhatsApp, FaceTime, and any other app you normally use to call or message work just like they do at home.
Phone compatibility
You can currently purchase your plan through the Truecaller app on iPhone or directly on our website.
iPhone: Most models from the XS and XR onwards are eSIM-ready.
Android: While our dedicated Android app integration is coming soon, you can use our eSIM on Android today! Simply purchase via our web store and install it on any eSIM-compatible Android device.
Traveling shouldn't start with worrying about a local SIM card and end with a phone bill. Travel eSIM by Truecaller is something you set up once before you leave and don't think about again.
