BuddySIM eSIM FAQ.
Is there a BuddySIM discount code, and how much can I save?
+

You'll also find the code next to every BuddySIM plan in the table above, with a button to copy it.
Does BuddySIM have an eSIM for international travel, such as a Europe or global plan?
+

Global plans work in up to 105 countries and start at $22.37. If you're visiting several countries, one regional or global eSIM is simpler than buying a plan for each.
How much does a BuddySIM eSIM cost?

Prices depend on the country, the amount of data and the number of days. We check prices daily, so these figures are up to date. Sort the table above by price or by price per GB to compare.
Is my iPhone or Android phone compatible with a BuddySIM eSIM?
+
Yes, if your phone supports eSIM and isn't SIM-locked. BuddySIM works on iPhone XS, XR, SE 2020 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and many other models. Checking before you buy is up to you, so see BuddySIM's list of compatible devices.
The BuddySIM app is on iPhone and Android, though the iPhone app may not appear in the US App Store. You don't need it: buy on the website and the QR code arrives by email.
Does a BuddySIM eSIM come with a phone number?
+
No, BuddySIM eSIMs are data only, with no phone number and no SMS.
Call over data with WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram or Skype. On a dual-SIM phone, you can keep your own SIM on for calls and texts.
Which countries does a BuddySIM eSIM cover?
+
BuddySIM has plans for 194 countries and territories. To see the plans for your destination, choose it under Filters next to the plans.
Can I top up a BuddySIM eSIM with more data?
+
Yes, you can top up a BuddySIM eSIM in the BuddySIM app for iPhone and Android. The data goes onto the same eSIM, with no reinstall. There's no top-up on the website.
BuddySIM doesn't say whether a top-up extends your current package. Each package has its own validity, starting from first use.
The eSIM stays valid for six months after each use, so you can reload it for later trips.
Can I use my BuddySIM eSIM as a hotspot?
+
Yes, BuddySIM lists hotspot for every destination, though it can be restricted in some countries, networks or plans.
Connected devices use the same data. On unlimited Day Pass plans, the same full-speed allowance applies to hotspot as to your phone.
BuddySIM doesn't name a device limit or the countries where hotspot is restricted.
Can I get a refund for a BuddySIM eSIM?
+
Yes, within limits: BuddySIM gives a full refund within 14 days of purchase if the eSIM hasn't been activated or connected to a network. Installing it is fine.
If an activated eSIM doesn't work because of BuddySIM or its network partner, you can get part or all of it back. The No Net, No Pay guarantee refunds 100% if the network is down for over 90 minutes in a row.
Email [email protected] with your order number and proof. Money usually returns to your payment method in 5–10 working days.
Can I buy a BuddySIM eSIM in advance and install it before I travel?
+
Yes, you can buy a BuddySIM eSIM in advance, but if you buy on buddysim.com you must activate it within 60 days or it expires without a refund. Through a reseller, you get 6 months.
Install it at home on Wi-Fi and turn on data roaming only when you arrive. The package starts with your first connection to a network abroad.
On Global and Europe plans, Germany counts as a destination, so the package can start there.
Does BuddySIM really offer unlimited data?
+
Sometimes: BuddySIM sells unlimited data as a Day Pass, mainly in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Turkey. Elsewhere, plans have a fixed amount of data.
Most Day Passes give a full-speed allowance for the whole plan, to use whenever you like: 30 GB on 5 days, 60 GB on 10 and 90 GB on 15. After it, you stay online at up to 2 Mbit/s.
In Turkey, you get 2 GB at full speed per 24 hours, then up to 2 Mbit/s, resetting daily.
Unlimited plans start at $13.42.
