Frequently Asked Questions about Ireland eSIM

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM, or embedded Subscriber Identity Module, is a virtual SIM card integrated into devices like smartphones and smartwatches. Unlike physical SIM cards, eSIMs are programmed remotely, enabling easy network switching and activation without needing physical swaps. They offer flexibility for changing carriers and plans, convenient international travel connectivity, and the management of multiple numbers on one device. While not universally supported, eSIM technology reduces the reliance on physical cards and simplifies the user experience by allowing remote provisioning of cellular services.

What is the Ireland eSIM?

The ETravelSim Ireland eSIM is a prepaid, data-only eSIM on the Three and Eir networks, with GB plans for 30 days and Unlimited plans for 7, 15 or 30 days.

Is the Unlimited plan really unlimited?

There is no total data cap, but speed changes. You get 4 GB per day at high speed, then unlimited data at 1 Mbps. The allowance resets every 24 hours.

What can I do at 1 Mbps?

Messaging, maps and everyday browsing still work. Video and large uploads will be slower until your high-speed allowance resets.

How much data do I need for a week in Ireland?

As a guide, 3–5 GB suits maps, messaging and browsing, and 10 GB suits heavier use. Choose Unlimited if you do not want to count data.

Can I use a hotspot with the Ireland eSIM?

Yes. Hotspot is allowed on all plans, including Unlimited.

Does it include a phone number or calls?

No. The Ireland eSIM is data only, with no phone number, call minutes or SMS.

Can I make WhatsApp calls?

Yes. WhatsApp and FaceTime calls run over your data connection, and your existing WhatsApp number stays the same.

Can I top up the Ireland eSIM?

Yes. Email support@etravelsim.com with your order number and we will top up your eSIM.

Which networks does the Ireland eSIM use?

It uses Three and Eir.

Does it work in Dublin, Cork and Galway?

Yes. The eSIM connects to Three and Eir in Ireland's cities. Actual speed varies with location, device and network load.

Does it work in Northern Ireland?

Yes. The Ireland eSIM also works in Northern Ireland, so you can use it on both sides of the border.

Does it work on the Wild Atlantic Way and at the Cliffs of Moher?

It connects wherever Three or Eir has signal, but signal can drop in remote areas. Download offline maps before you leave Wi-Fi.

When do I get the QR code?

Instantly by email, with installation instructions, the SM-DP+ address and the activation code.

When should I install it?

Install it before you travel, while on Wi-Fi. Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Ireland, not when you install it.

When does my plan start?

When the eSIM first connects to a network in Ireland. A 7-day plan runs for 7 days from that connection.

What do I do when I land?

Turn on the eSIM line and select it for mobile data. Turn on Data Roaming for that line, which is required. Turn off Data Roaming on your home SIM to avoid charges.

Will my phone work?

It must be eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked. iPhone XR/XS and newer support eSIM. To check any phone, dial *#06#: if you see an EID, it supports eSIM.

Can I keep my home number active?

Yes. Most eSIM phones run two lines, so your home SIM can stay on for calls and SMS while the eSIM handles data. Your home carrier may charge for roaming on that line.

Do I need to submit any documentation?

No, however, at ETravelSim, we take the security of our customers seriously. To protect our customers from fraudulent activities and maintain a safe shopping environment, we may request additional identity verification for transactions flagged by our payment gateway as suspicious or potentially fraudulent.

If your transaction is marked as such, we kindly ask you to cooperate with our verification process. This may involve asking for valid proof of identity, such as a government-issued ID or passport. Rest assured that all personal information will be handled securely per our privacy policy.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. It is an essential step to ensure the safety and integrity of our services. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this regard.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this process, please don't hesitate to contact our customer support team at support@etravelsim.com.

How do I check my balance?

Log in to My Account with the email you used to buy the eSIM, then click View Balance next to your order. You can also email support@etravelsim.com with your order number.

What if it does not work or I change my mind?

Contact us within 5 days of purchase. You get a full refund if the activation email never arrived, the eSIM has a defect we cannot fix, or the product was not as described (reviewed case by case). Orders placed by mistake or for an incompatible phone are refunded minus USD 5, provided the eSIM has not been installed or used. See the Refund Policy.
