A SIM card built into your phone — no plastic needed
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card already built into modern iPhones and Android phones. Instead of inserting a physical card, you simply scan a QR code and you're connected.
With uPhone, you buy a data plan for your destination, scan the QR code we email you, and you'll have local mobile data in minutes — no airport SIM kiosks, no contracts, no roaming fees.
- Activate instantly — no waiting, no store visit
- Works alongside your existing SIM
- Switch countries without swapping cards
- Secure — tied to your specific device
From sign-up to connected in 4 steps
- Your 3-day free trial starts the moment you sign up.
- Cancel within 3 days → no charge, free eSIM is deactivated.
- Cancel after 3 days → you will be charged $9.99 for that month. Your free eSIM remains active for the billing period.
- Cancel anytime from your dashboard under Settings → Membership.
- The free test eSIM is one-time only — valid while your membership is active or trialling.
Do you need a credit card for the free eSIM trial?
Yes. The free eSIM trial asks for a card when you start, and nothing is charged for the first 3 days. Cancel from your dashboard within 3 days and you pay $0. If you stay, Test Flight is $9.99/month and the full $9.99 comes back to you as account credit to spend on any eSIM plan.
Is the free eSIM unlimited data?
No. The free trial eSIM comes with 1 GB of real mobile data in the country you choose. That's enough to check that your phone accepts an eSIM, that it connects to a local network, and that maps, messaging and your VPN work before your trip. For the trip itself, pick a destination plan, including unlimited-data plans in many countries.
How to get your free eSIM QR code
Start the trial, then claim your free test eSIM in your dashboard and choose a country. We email you the eSIM QR code straight away. On iPhone go to Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM; on Android open Settings → Network (or Connections) → SIMs → Add eSIM — menu names vary by brand. Scan the code and it installs in about two minutes.
