How a travel eSIM works: QR code by email, scan to install

Frequently Asked Questions about Canada eSIM

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM, or embedded Subscriber Identity Module, is a virtual SIM card integrated into devices like smartphones and smartwatches. Unlike physical SIM cards, eSIMs are programmed remotely, enabling easy network switching and activation without needing physical swaps. They offer flexibility for changing carriers and plans, convenient international travel connectivity, and the management of multiple numbers on one device. While not universally supported, eSIM technology reduces the reliance on physical cards and simplifies the user experience by allowing remote provisioning of cellular services.

Is the Canada eSIM's unlimited data really unlimited?

Unlimited plans include 4 GB of high-speed data per day, then unlimited data at 1 Mbps. High-speed data resets every 24 hours. Hotspot isn't available on Unlimited, so choose a GB plan if you need to share your connection.

Which networks does the Canada eSIM use?

The Canada eSIM uses the Bell and Telus networks. Your phone connects to the available network automatically, with 5G where it's available and 4G LTE elsewhere.

Can I use hotspot with the Canada eSIM?

Yes, on all GB plans. Unlimited plans are for use on one device, so hotspot isn't available on them. Choose a GB plan if you need to share your connection with a laptop or another phone.

Does the Canada eSIM work in the USA?

No. The Canada eSIM works in Canada only, including near the border. If your trip also includes the USA or Mexico, choose the North America eSIM: one plan covers all three countries.

Do I need to turn on data roaming for the Canada eSIM?

Yes. Turn on Data Roaming for the Canada eSIM line in your phone's settings and leave it on while you're in Canada. You can keep roaming off on your home SIM.

Which Canada eSIM plans last 7 or 15 days?

1 GB lasts 7 days, 2 GB lasts 15 days, and Unlimited comes in 7, 15 or 30 days. All other GB plans last 30 days. Validity starts when the eSIM first connects in Canada, not when you buy or install it.

Which Canada eSIM plan should I choose?

For maps and messaging on a short trip, 1 GB (7 days) or 3 GB (30 days) may be enough. For regular use over one or two weeks, choose a 10 GB or 20 GB plan, valid for 30 days. If you stream, video-call often or don't want to track usage, choose Unlimited for 7, 15 or 30 days.

Can I top up the Canada eSIM?

Yes, on every plan except the 20 GB / 30 days plan. If you use up that plan, buy a new Canada eSIM plan. Unlimited plans don't run out: after 4 GB of high-speed data in a day, you stay online at 1 Mbps.

How to activate the eSim?

After purchase, you will receive a QR code by email. Scan it with your phone's camera to install the eSIM on your device. The eSIM activates, and your plan's validity starts, when it first connects to a network at your destination, so you can install it before you travel.

How do I install the eSIM on an iPhone?

Your QR code arrives by email right after purchase. Install it before you travel, while connected to Wi-Fi:

  1. Open Settings → Mobile Service (or Cellular) → Add eSIM.
  2. Tap Use QR Code and scan the QR code from your email. If you can't scan it, tap Enter Details Manually and type the SM-DP+ address and activation code from the same email.
  3. Label the new line (for example "Travel") and keep your home SIM as the primary line for calls and SMS.
  4. When you arrive, choose the travel eSIM for Mobile Data. Turn on Data Roaming for that line if your plan requires it.

Step-by-step help: iPhone installation guide.

Do I need to submit any documents or ID?

No. There’s no KYC or paperwork. Just purchase, receive, and activate.

How do I check my balance?

Log in to My Account with the email you used to buy the eSIM, then click View Balance next to your order. You can also email support@etravelsim.com with your order number.

Works but slow

You only get LTE, which is not a problem in general , but internet connection speed is most times super-slow. Independent if you’re in a city area or country side. Used another SIM from another carrier which worked much better for my Canada trip.

Jesua Silva
Works well once it’s set up, but the setup process was not easy.

I had to go back and forth with customer support several times before the eSIM finally worked. The instructions could be clearer, especially regarding the APN settings, which I had to configure manually with the help of support. Once everything was set up, the service worked well. Overall, the service is good, but the installation process could be much more straightforward.

Hi Jesua, thank you for your feedback. We're glad the service works well once set up, and we'll work on improving the instructions to make the process smoother. Your input is valuable to us!
