How it works

Sorted before you take off.

Four steps. No SIM swapping.

An eSIM is a SIM that lives inside your phone. Buy it here, install it at home in a couple of minutes, and it switches on when you land.

  1. Pick a plan
  2. Install it
  3. Roaming on
  4. Land & go

The steps

From checkout to connected.

Show steps for

  1. 01 At home

    Pick a plan.

    Search your destination, then choose fixed data or unlimited days. Check out and you’re done. You can buy up to 12 months before you travel.

    Find a plan
  2. 02 BEFORE YOU FLY, ON WI-FI

    Install it.

    Do it just before you fly, once your trip's locked in. We email you a link to your QR code. Scan it and your phone adds the eSIM in about two minutes. Lost the email? Your code is always at data.pocketroam.com.

    Where to scan

    iPhone: Settings › Mobile › Add eSIM

    Android: Settings › Connections › SIM manager › Add eSIM

    Samsung shown. On Pixel and others, look for “SIMs” or “Mobile network”.

  3. 03 AT HOME OR THE AIRPORT

    Turn roaming on.

    Set Pocket Roam as your line for mobile data and switch on Data Roaming for it. Keep your home SIM on for calls and texts, with its roaming off, so there’s no bill shock.

    Where to find it

    iPhone: Settings › Mobile › Pocket Roam › Data Roaming

    Android: Settings › Connections › Mobile networks › Data roaming

  4. 04 On arrival

    Land & go.

    Switch off flight mode and you’re online. Your plan only starts the first time you connect in your destination, so installing early never costs you a day. Need more? Top up at data.pocketroam.com.

Two kinds of plan

Fixed or unlimited?

Both work the same way. The difference is whether you count gigabytes or days.

Fixed

A set amount of data.

Starting from 1GB, valid for up to 30 days.

  • Maps, messages and socials
  • Short trips and stopovers
  • Watching every dollar

Run out? Your data stops, with no surprise charges. Top up in a few taps.

Unlimited

All the data, by the day.

1 to 30 days.

  • Using data all day
  • Not counting anything
  • Streaming and hotspotting (go Boost or Max)

1GB at full speed every day (2GB on Max), then unlimited at a slower speed. Choose Standard, Boost or Max.

Still wondering?

Quick answers.

All FAQs
When does my plan start?

The first time your phone connects to a network in your destination. Installing at home doesn’t use any of it.

Can I keep my own number?

Yes. If your phone takes two SIMs, keep your home SIM on for calls and texts, turn its roaming off, and use Pocket Roam for data.

Can I use one eSIM for a few countries?

Yes. Regional eSIMs like Europe & UK cover a whole trip on one plan. For many destinations you can also add bundles to the same eSIM, and each one waits until you arrive. The portal will tell you if a destination needs a new eSIM.

What happens when my data runs out?

Your data stops, with no surprise charges. Buy another bundle and add it to the same eSIM at data.pocketroam.com. No need to set it up again.

My QR code won’t scan. Help?

Make sure you’re on Wi-Fi, clean your camera lens, and restart your phone. Still stuck? Message the crew and we’ll sort it.
