General
Can I use my eSIM for hotspot?
The answer is yes. You can share your internet while using our eSIMs. Choose the right amount of data and stay connected on all your devices with one eSIM.
Will an eSIM work with my physical SIM?
Yes, you can use an eSIM and your SIM card simultaneously. This feature is called Dual SIM and comes with a couple of advantages. You can use your ZIM eSIM and keep your mobile number and WhatsApp when travelling. You can name your eSIM and SIM card to differentiate their use. Note that not all devices that support Dual SIM are eSIM compatible. The iPhone 13 series and onwards support the Dual eSIM functionality, which allows you to use two eSIMs together.
What exactly is an eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM card built into most mobile phone models today. It allows you to access instant connectivity without switching out your physical SIM. Using this technology while travelling abroad can avoid high roaming fees, making switching network carriers easy.
