Yes, as long as your device supports the simultaneous use of a physical SIM and eSIM. You can keep using the phone number on your regular SIM to send and receive calls and text messages. Otherwise, select your new eSIM for data use only, so you don't have to worry about expensive roaming fees for data usage.

You'll receive your eSIM immediately once you've purchased a data plan. Just follow the instructions after checkout to install it. No wait and no queues: it's that easy.

If your phone is carrier-unlocked and compatible with eSIM, you should have no trouble installing and using holiday.com. For more details, see our Compatible Devices list.

You have 1 year from the day of purchase to activate and start using the eSIM, and this does not affect the duration of the plan. For example, if you arrive at your destination and turn on the eSIM on day 365 from purchase, you'll still enjoy the full duration of the plan.
