Most likely you have heard of eSIM (Embedded Subscriber Identity Module/embedded SIM – a SIM where the subscriber profile can be changed over the air without changing the actual SIM card) or you might have even used it already on your travels. But have you ever considered using eSIM in your own country with your current provider plan? If you don’t have an unlimited data plan with your current provider and have exhausted all your data for that month, most likely you would be able to purchase additional data from your carrier but that could be expensive. Some carriers only offer specific add-on plans you won’t really need, so why not purchase an eSIM from Red Bull MOBILE and choose how much data you want. 1GB starts as low as €2 and the first 100MB are completely free!
In order to install the eSIM from Red Bull MOBILE, you will need to see if your device is eSim compatible. You can check if your smartphone is supported by looking it up in Settings:
iOS devices: Go to Settings > Mobile Data or Cellular Data, if you have the Add Mobile Plan or Add Data Plan option, your iPhone supports eSIMs.
Supported devices include iPhone XS, XR and newer models.
Android devices: Go to Settings > Connections > SIM card manager. If you have the “Add mobile plan” option, your smartphone supports eSIMs.
The majority of newer Android smartphones are supported including the Samsung Galaxy S20 or newer models, Google Pixel 3 or newer models, Huawei P40 and many more.
Once you have checked if your system is compatible with eSIM you will need to download the Red Bull MOBILE Data app to purchase and set up your eSIM.
When you have downloaded the app from Red Bull MOBILE, you will then need to set up your profile. After you have completed that step, click on the + sign on the bottom of the screen, and search for the country you want to purchase more data in. You will also have the option to purchase data for the European Union if you know you might be traveling within the EU and need to use that data in several EU countries. Data Packages are available in over 60 countries.
Once you select which country you want to purchase data for, you can use the slider below the picture and select from 1GB all the way up to 10GB. In addition, the first 100MB are completely free of charge!
After your purchase is completed, just follow the prompts, finish your set-up and you will be able to use your data immediately.
With the additional data you will be able to stay in touch with family & friends, share your pictures and impressions, or stay connected via email, WhatsApp, chats and social postings.
With the use of eSIM you can add data to your existing local data plan and roam around the world and avoid high roaming costs. eSIM offers you not only cost and environmental benefits, you can also activate the eSIM from Red Bull MOBILE directly on your device without having to purchase an expensive add-on data plan from your cell phone provider.
In addition, with the use of eSIM you no longer have to swap out multiple SIM cards if you want to change plans. You can simply do that in your settings, directly on your device.
With an eSIM from Red Bull MOBILE you will be covered in over 60 countries and never have to worry about running out of data.
