Questions and answers

eSIM, installation, travel and payment in short. Can't find the answer? Message us.

Buying

What is an eSIM?

A SIM built into your phone. We sell travel eSIMs with mobile data: installed in a minute, no plastic card, no store visit.

How do I buy?

Pick a country and a plan, enter your e-mail and pay. The eSIM appears on the order page and arrives by e-mail. The Telegram bot @tutuesimbot does the same with Telegram Stars.

Do I need documents?

No. No passport, no contract — just an e-mail.

Plan or unlimited?

A plan is a fixed amount of data for a period. Unlimited gives 2 GB a day at full speed, then up to 1 Mbps without cutting you off. For short trips with maps and messengers a plan is enough; for work and video, take unlimited.

Where are my purchases?

On the “My purchases” page: purchases from this browser show up right away, and we'll e-mail you a link to all your eSIMs.

Installation

When should I install it?

At home, while you have Wi-Fi. A plan usually starts when you first connect to a network at your destination, not when you install it.

Does my phone support eSIM?

Dial *#06# — if you see an EID line, eSIM is supported. See the “Compatible devices” page for models.

Can I install the eSIM twice?

No, the profile downloads once. Don't delete the eSIM from your phone until the trip is over.

How do I install it on iPhone in one tap?

Open the order page on your iPhone and tap “Install on iPhone” — it works on iOS 17.4 and newer.

On the trip

Will my number still work?

Yes. Your main SIM stays in the phone: calls and texts work as usual (roaming rates of your carrier apply), while data goes through the eSIM.

Does the eSIM have a phone number?

No, it's data only. Call through messengers: Telegram, WhatsApp, FaceTime.

Can I use it as a hotspot?

Yes, tethering works on most plans.

What if I run out of data?

We'll e-mail you at 80% usage. Top up with another plan on the website or in the bot — it takes a minute.

Payment and refunds

How do I pay?

On the website — with crypto (USDT, TON, BTC and more via @CryptoBot). In the Telegram bot — with Telegram Stars, bought with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Card payments on the website are coming soon.

Why are prices in US dollars?

Operators worldwide bill in dollars — so the price is the same for everyone, with no hidden conversions.

Can I get a refund?

If we can't deliver the eSIM or it doesn't work through our fault — yes. An installed and used eSIM can't be refunded. See “Refunds” for details.
