# How do I install and activate my eSIM?


# eSIMs make it quick and easy to connect – no plastic, no fuss. Here's how to install your eSIM and get started quickly.

#### 💡 What is an eSIM?

An eSIM (short for “embedded SIM”) is a digital version of the plastic SIM card. It works the same way – connecting your device to a mobile network – but it’s built into your phone or tablet, so there’s no need to swap anything out.

It’s fast, secure, and better for the planet – no postage, no plastic, and fewer emissions.
