Cyber Monday eSIM deals: Buying advice

When does Black Friday/Cyber Monday eSIM deals start and end?

Black Friday is over, and we are on to Cyber Monday - most retailers still have discounts available today.

All eSIM deals listed on this page are active and will remain live until Cyber Monday, which falls on December 1, 2025.

Can I purchase a Cyber Monday eSIM deal now and activate it later when I travel?

Yes, absolutely! Most eSIM providers allow you to set an early installation date so you can travel hassle-free. After you purchase and install your eSIM, your provider will let you know the window in which you need to activate and use it. This can vary depending on the provider, so it’s always worth double-checking.

This is also why I recommend taking advantage of Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals. You can buy an eSIM at a discounted price now and activate it later whenever you’re ready to travel.

Are the Cyber Monday deals available for all countries/regions?

All the eSIM providers listed on this page are offering discounts on all their plans. This means you can use it for specific countries, regions, or global plans.

How can I check if my phone supports eSIM technology?

All iPhones from iPhone XS, XR, and newer support eSIM. If you have any model older than these, eSIM won’t be available.

To further check if your phone supports eSIM, follow these steps:

Go to Settings >General>About
Look for “Digital SIM” or “eSIM”
If you see “Digital SIM”, “eSIM”, or an EID number, your device supports eSIM
Then check if your phone is unlocked
Go to Settings>General>About>Carrier Lock
If it says "no SIM restrictions", your iPhone is unlocked and ready for an eSIM

Similarly, follow these steps for android devices:

Go to Settings> Connections (or Network & Internet)
Look for SIM options
Tap SIM Manager, Mobile Network, or SIM Cards depending on your phone
Search for “eSIM”, “Add eSIM”, or “Download SIM”
If you see “Add eSIM”, “Add mobile plan”, or “Download SIM”, your device supports eSIM
Make sure your device is unlocked
In Settings>About phone>Status, look for information on carrier lock

How do I set up and activate the eSIM on my device?

Once you’ve purchased an eSIM, you’ll receive an onboarding email with clear, step-by-step instructions on how to set it up.

If you buy your eSIM directly through the provider’s app, the activation process is even easier as you’ll be guided through everything on screen.

Typically, you’ll be asked to install the eSIM first. After installation, you can activate it in your phone’s settings. Make sure your device is connected to the internet and has enough battery before you begin. Most eSIMs can only be activated once, so it’s important to follow the steps carefully.

Activation usually takes just a few minutes. Once complete, you’ll see the new plan under your mobile services, and you can rename it if you prefer.
