eSIM & Connectivity

eSIMs let you get mobile data in your destination without changing your physical SIM card. Install a digital plan before you travel or on arrival, and stay connected for maps, messaging, and work. Ouoba partners with Yesim and Airalo, which offer plans in hundreds of countries. Compatible with many modern smartphones and some tablets.

How It Works
Download the partner app or visit the website. Check that your device and destination are supported.
Choose a plan (data amount and validity). Purchase and receive your eSIM profile by email or in-app.
Install the eSIM on your device (usually before you leave or when you land). Turn on data roaming for the eSIM and connect.
FAQ
- Will it work on my phone?
- Most recent iPhones (XR and later) and many Android phones support eSIM. Check your device settings for 'Add cellular plan' or 'eSIM' and the provider's compatibility list.
- Can I keep my regular number?
- Yes. An eSIM adds a second 'line' for data. Your normal SIM stays in place for calls and SMS unless you choose to use the eSIM for everything in the app.
- What if I run out of data?
- Many providers let you top up in the app. Plan validity and top-up options vary by country and product—check before you buy.
