eSIM gift cards
A gift for someone who is about to travel, or who travels constantly and has run out of things to be given. Any amount from $10 to $500, delivered by email within seconds, redeemable against any plan in the catalogue.
Why data makes a better gift than it sounds
The first hour in a new country is the one where connectivity matters most and is hardest to buy: you need a map, a ride and a message home before you have found a shop, a queue or a working ATM. A gift card covers exactly that, and it is one of the few presents a frequent traveller will actually use rather than store.
It also avoids the usual problem with giving travel gear, which is that you have to guess. You do not need to know where they are going, which phone they carry or how much data they use — the balance works against whatever they pick when the trip is booked.
How it works
Choose an amount, add the recipient's name and email and a message if you want one, and pay. The card is emailed to them in seconds, so it works as a last-minute gift in a way a physical one does not.
They redeem it at checkout against any plan in the catalogue: single-country, regional or global. If the plan costs less than the balance the remainder stays on the card, and if it costs more they pay the difference.
Amounts, expiry and coverage
Amounts run from $10 to $500, and a custom figure is allowed in between. At the low end $10 covers a short trip's data in most of the catalogue; at the high end a card comfortably covers a year of regular travel for one person.
The balance does not expire, which is the part that matters if you are buying for a trip that has not been booked yet. Coverage is the full esimbloom catalogue — 200+ countries and territories — rather than a restricted gift-only subset.
Frequently asked questions
Does an esimbloom gift card expire?
No. The balance stays on the card until it is spent, so it is safe to buy before a trip is planned.
What can the balance be spent on?
Any plan in the catalogue — single-country, regional or global. If the plan costs less than the balance, the remainder stays on the card; if it costs more, the recipient pays the difference.
How quickly does it arrive?
The card is emailed to the recipient within seconds of payment, which makes it workable as a same-day gift.
How much should I give?
$10 covers a short trip's data across most of the catalogue. Amounts run to $500, and any custom figure in between is allowed, so match it to how often they travel rather than to a round number.
