Tartu eSIM: a few quick answers
Does my phone support eSIM?
Most smartphones from the last few years support eSIM, but checking your device’s network settings before you leave is an easy way to confirm.
Can I install it while still at home?
Yes, you can install the eSIM profile over wifi before you fly and then activate the data plan once you land in Estonia, so you are connected immediately.
Will it save me money compared to roaming?
Typically yes, as travel eSIMs are priced for short-term visits and tend to be far more economical than a home carrier’s roaming rates.
