All about your SIM card

Physical or digital, there’s a SIM for everyone!

Choices, choices…

Size does matter, at least when it comes to your physical SIM card. Depending on your device, you’ll need a standard, micro or nano SIM.

When you order, we’ll send you a 3-in-1 SIM card, so you’re always covered. It’s standard SIM size, but you can pop out the two smaller formats if needed.

Or go fully digital with an eSIM. Super fast, eco-friendly, and no more fiddling with physical cards.

Physical SIM card

  • A traditional SIM card is sent by regular post after you place your order.

  • Works in every smartphone.

  • You will receive this SIM card after 3 to 5 working days.

  • Quite a hassle to switch a SIM card like that. Used many paperclips, have you?

eSIM

  • You will immediately receive an email to activate your eSIM.

  • After activation you will receive a personal QR code. Simply scan it and off you go!

  • Easily switch between two numbers if your phone supports Dual SIM.

  • Use a local SIM when travelling outside the EU.

  • A more eco-friendly choice.

  • Only compatible with certain smartphones. Check if yours is supported on our eSIM page via the button below.
