What are MobileTopup data-only eSIM plans?

Updated September 3, 2026|Category General

MobileTopup offers prepaid, data-only eSIM plans for supported destinations. An eSIM is a digital SIM that you install on an eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone. There is no physical SIM card to collect or swap.

What is included

  • Mobile data for the destination or region shown on the plan.
  • A fixed data allowance and validity period shown before payment.
  • Digital delivery, with an installation link and QR code sent after payment.

These are data-only eSIMs. They do not include a local phone number, voice calls, or SMS. You can continue using your usual SIM for calls and messages if your device supports dual SIM.

Before you buy

  • Make sure your phone supports eSIM and is unlocked for use with other networks.
  • Choose the destination, data allowance, and validity period that match your trip.
  • Check the plan details at checkout, including the coverage area and whether the plan can be topped up later.

How to buy and install an eSIM

  1. Choose an eSIM plan on MobileTopup.com.
  2. Complete payment and provide an email address for delivery.
  3. Open the installation details we email to you, or use the installation link from your order.
  4. Scan the QR code on your phone and follow your device's eSIM setup steps.
  5. When you arrive, select the eSIM for mobile data and allow data roaming if the plan instructions require it.

Most plans activate when the eSIM first connects to a supported local network. You can normally install the eSIM before you travel and connect when you arrive.

Managing your plan

Your order includes the eSIM installation details. Use your phone settings to confirm that the eSIM is enabled for data. Some plans support adding more data; where available, the top-up option and eligible packages are shown for your eSIM order.

Refunds

If MobileTopup cannot prepare or deliver your eSIM after payment, we process a refund automatically.

If an eSIM has been delivered but you have not used any data, you can request a refund from your order history. We verify usage with the eSIM provider before approving the request. An eSIM with any recorded data usage cannot be refunded.

If you need help with an eSIM order or cannot access the refund option, contact us with your order details.
