What is an eSIM and how does it work?

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card built into your phone. Instead of a physical card, you scan a QR code to activate a mobile data plan. Penyu offers eSIM plans for 200+ countries - you buy online, scan the QR code, and get connected instantly without roaming charges.

Which devices support eSIM?

Most modern smartphones support eSIM, including iPhone XS (2018) and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and many other Android devices. You can check your device settings to confirm eSIM support.

How quickly is the eSIM activated after purchase?

Penyu eSIM plans are activated instantly after purchase. You receive a QR code by email and in the app. Scanning it takes less than a minute. The data plan activates when you first connect in the destination country.

Is there an AI travel assistant on Penyu?
