The Ontop eSIM is an international mobile connectivity solution designed for workers who travel and need internet access from the very first minute—without relying on roaming, physical SIM cards, or local stores.
You can purchase your eSIM directly from Ontop and pay using the available balance in your Ontop Wallet 👛.
The connectivity service is provided by our partner Holafly.
🔄 How does the Ontop eSIM work?
An eSIM is a digital SIM that installs directly on your compatible phone.
You don’t need a physical SIM card or to change your phone number.
The flow works as follows:
- Select the country or region you’re traveling to
- Purchase the eSIM using your Ontop Wallet balance
- Receive an email with a Holafly QR code
- Install the eSIM on your phone
- Once you arrive at your destination, activate mobile data and connect
The entire process is 100% digital and takes just a few minutes ⚡.
