eSIM explained
What exactly is an eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM card built into your phone. Instead of inserting a physical SIM card, you download a data plan directly onto your device using a QR code. Most smartphones made after 2019 have eSIM capability built in.
No physical SIM needed
Traditional SIMs are small plastic cards you insert into your phone. eSIM is the same thing, but digital, installed via a QR code in seconds.
Two SIMs, one phone
Your UK SIM card stays in your phone as normal. SimScrubs installs as a second, digital SIM alongside it. You use SimScrubs for data, your UK SIM for calls.
Instant activation
No waiting for a card to arrive in the post. No visiting a shop. Your eSIM is ready to install the moment you complete checkout.
Secure and reliable
eSIM technology is GSMA certified and used by hundreds of millions of people globally. The same technology is used by Apple, Google and Samsung for their own connectivity products.
