Create an accountDelivered and managed by Inbox Number: one account, one bill, one support team.
How it works
Pick a plan by data and days, pay from your Inbox Number balance, and the eSIM appears in your account as a QR code. Scan it in your phone's settings (Mobile data, then Add eSIM) or enter the details by hand. The plan's days start when the eSIM first connects to a network.
Data only
These eSIMs are for mobile data. They don't come with a phone number, so they can't receive SMS. If you need texts or verification codes too, pair one with an Inbox Number virtual number.
Before you buy
Your phone must support eSIM and must not be carrier-locked. Coverage and speed depend on the local networks the plan uses, and an installed eSIM usually can't be moved to another phone.
