Pick your plan
Choose a destination and the data plan that matches your trip. Your first purchase is also the only time you'll ever set up your eSIM. Every plan after this is loaded to the same one.
What is MTN Travel eSIM?
Meet MTN Travel eSIM, the last eSIM you'll ever install. Add it to your phone once, every destination after that is just a plan you add. No new QR codes, no reinstalling, no matter how many trips you take.
Scan to activate
We email you a QR code as soon as you buy. Scan it once and you're set. No physical SIM, no carrier store, no waiting.
Switch when you land
Make your MTN eSIM the primary data line. Your phone can hold several profiles, but only one handles data at a time, so switching tells it which.
Next trip, add a plan
Going somewhere new? Just buy that destination's plan and it lands on your MTN eSIM in seconds. No new QR code, no setup, no starting over.

24/7 support, if you need it
Nothing to figure out alone, whether it's your first installation or your fifth destination. Help's a message away, day or night.
Questions, answered.
For travel, usually. It does the same job without the physical card: nothing to lose, no carrier store, and it runs alongside your regular SIM so your own number stays active. The trade-off is that your phone has to support it, and moving to a new phone means installing the profile again.
No. Your existing SIM stays in the phone and keeps handling calls and texts on your normal number. The eSIM sits beside it and takes over data while you are away.
Yes, as long as you leave your home SIM switched on. Keep the eSIM as your data line and your usual number keeps ringing, though your home carrier may still charge its own roaming rates for those calls and texts.
The profile cannot be installed, so check your model before you buy. iPhone XR and later, most Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and Pixel 3 and later all support eSIM; a few older or carrier-locked handsets do not.
That depends on the plan. Regional and global plans cover a list of countries on a single profile, while a single-country plan covers only that country. Check the coverage list on the plan before you buy.
