An eSIM, or embedded SIM, is a digital SIM card embedded in your device. It allows you to activate a mobile data plan without a physical SIM card. Whether on a cruise or on land, eSIMs are supported by various carriers. An eSIM does everything that a traditional SIM card does, but surely makes things a lot easier for so many smartphone users. Almost any new phone you buy nowadays features eSIM technology.
Our Cruise + Land plan is available on a number of different cruise lines. These include:

GigSky offers the only eSIM plan that provides mobile data on your cruise, while in port AND while on land. GigSky has the same technology as your home carrier and any surfing you do will be on the fastest, most reliable network with local prices that are a fraction of what you would otherwise pay.
It will work virtually everywhere. While on the ship, you must be 12 nautical miles offshore before your service will begin. That’s usually an hour after the ship leaves port. While in port or off the ship, your connection will rely on cell towers that are on land, the range of which can vary based on a number of factors. As such, you may experience brief periods after leaving port when you are out of range of a land signal but not far enough out at sea for the Cellular at Sea signal to be available.
Absolutely. Your Cruise + Land plan can be used the moment you land on your vacation, even on the tarmac of the airport. So even if you are starting your trip a number of days before your cruise, or traveling after your cruise in one of the countries covered by the plan you select, you can continue to get the fastest, most reliable cellular service for as long as you need it with the same plan.
Yes, eSIM data plans are versatile and can be used across various devices, including smartphones, tablets, and even smartwatches that support eSIM technology. You can see the full list of compatible devices here.
Activation processes may be based on the device you have but are generally quite simple. You can see iOS and Android activation instructions here.
Most modern smartphones, including iPhones and most Android devices, support eSIM technology. Additionally, some tablets and smartwatches are also compatible.
While eSIMs are widely supported, it's essential to ensure that your device is compatible. Additionally, some older devices may not support eSIM technology, so it's crucial to check compatibility before opting for an eSIM data plan. Some carriers may also lock your device, preventing you from using eSIMs. Though locking is not allowed in most countries, when it is done, it almost always comes with post-paid plans where your device is being financed.
