A SIM-only plan gives you mobile data, calls and texts without a new handset. It can be a flexible 30-day plan or a longer fixed term.
Usually, yes. Your current provider can give you a PAC, which you give to your new provider to move the number. Check the provider’s instructions before ordering.
A 30-day plan is more flexible. A 12-month plan normally commits you for longer, so compare the minimum contract cost as well as the monthly price.
An eSIM is a digital SIM built into a compatible phone. Availability and setup depend on the provider and your handset.
Roaming rules differ by provider and plan. Check the included destinations, data limits and any fair-use terms before travelling.
