📘About Zapesim & eSIMs

🤔 What Are eSIMs?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital version of a traditional SIM card — but with none of the plastic, shipping, or swapping hassles. It’s built into your device and allows you to activate a mobile data plan directly from your phone or tablet in just a few taps. 📲✨

With Zapesim, you can install your eSIM instantly through our app or manually using a simple code — no need to scan a QR or wait for delivery. 💡📡

🌟 Why Use eSIMs?

✅ Easy & Instant Setup

Forget visiting stores or dealing with shipping delays. Activate your plan on the go — ideal for travelers who want internet access as soon as they land. ✈️🌍

📂 Multiple Plans, One Device

Manage several data plans on a single device. Perfect for frequent flyers, digital nomads, or users who want separate work and personal plans. 💼🧳

🌱 Eco-Friendly

No more plastic SIMs. eSIMs reduce waste, making them a smart and sustainable choice for modern connectivity. ♻️🌿

🔒 More Secure

Because eSIMs are embedded in your device, they’re less prone to damage or loss. If your phone is lost or stolen, your eSIM can be remotely disabled or reissued. 🛡️📵

📍 Country-Specific eSIMs

Local Zapesim eSIMs are designed for use in one specific country. For example:

For multi-country trips, choose a regional or global eSIM:

  • Regional eSIMs work in several countries within a specific region (like Europe, Asia, or the Middle East).

  • Global eSIMs cover a wide range of destinations and are ideal if you're traveling across multiple continents.

To check which countries are covered, simply open the Zapesim app, tap on your preferred eSIM plan, and view the full list of supported destinations.

📝 Pro Tip

Make sure to select an eSIM that matches your full itinerary before your trip.

📲 Can I Use Multiple eSIMs on One Device?

Yes! Most modern smartphones allow you to install and store multiple eSIMs at once. This is ideal if you’re traveling to different countries or want separate data plans for various destinations.

⚡ Do Zapesim eSIMs Work with 5G Networks?

Yes — Zapesim eSIMs are compatible with 5G, but your ability to connect to a 5G network depends on a few key factors. Let’s break them down.

✅ 5G Compatibility Checklist

To access 5G with your Zapesim eSIM, you’ll need:

  • A 5G-compatible device 📱 (Check your phone’s specs to make sure it supports 5G.)

  • A 5G-supported Zapesim plan 📶 (Some plans are limited to 4G/LTE. You’ll see this info when choosing a plan.)

  • 5G coverage in your current location 🗺️ (If 5G towers aren’t nearby, your device will automatically fall back to 4G/LTE.)

🔍 What If You See LTE or 4G Instead?

That’s totally normal. Your eSIM will always connect to the best available network. If 5G isn’t accessible in your area or plan, your Zapesim will seamlessly connect to 4G/LTE, which still delivers fast and reliable internet.
