🚀 Getting Started

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan without needing a physical SIM card.

Benefits of eSIM:

  • Instant activation - no waiting for delivery
  • No need to swap physical SIM cards when traveling
  • Use multiple eSIMs on one device
  • More secure than physical SIMs

Compatible Devices:

  • iPhone XS, XS Max, XR and newer
  • iPhone SE (2nd generation) and newer
  • iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 Series

Important Notes:

  • iPhones purchased in mainland China do not support eSIM
  • Your device must be carrier-unlocked

Tip: You need a Wi-Fi connection to activate your eSIM.

Your eSIM should be ready within 1-2 minutes after activation. If it takes longer than 5 minutes:

Possible reasons:

  • Network congestion: Peak hours or crowded areas
  • Weak signal: Try moving to a different location
  • Carrier limitations: Some areas may have speed restrictions

All our plans offer unlimited speed - actual speed depends on local network quality.

Yes! All Beaver eSIM plans support hotspot sharing (tethering).

Note: Hotspot usage consumes data faster than regular usage.
