What is an eSIM and how does Globeelink work?
Last updated June 1, 2026
What an eSIM is
An eSIM is a SIM card built into your phone — there's no tiny plastic card to swap. You add a plan digitally, which means you can be ready to go before you've even left home.
How Globeelink works
You buy a plan for where you’re travelling, add it to your phone, and it connects to local partner networks when you arrive. Your home number stays put for calls and texts.
Why it's handy for travel
No hunting for a SIM at the airport, no surprise roaming bills. You set it up once, and your data just works when you land.
Your phone keeps its normal SIM too. The Globeelink eSIM sits alongside it as a second line you can switch on for data.
