One of the main recommendations for your visit is precisely to avoid data roaming. Every time we connect or make calls from the Principality, an extra charge is applied. One way to avoid surprises on your bill is to use one of these digital SIM cards. They are easy to connect, affordable, and do not interfere with your usual operator, as they can be activated without the need to visit a store. Let’s see what eSIMs are, how they work in Andorra, and, most importantly, which types of phones are compatible with them.
Why use an eSIM in Andorra?
An eSIM is a chip embedded in the phone that can be used on any type of mobile network. Its name reminds us of English terms like email or ecommerce. However, in this case, the "e" does not refer to "electronic" but to embedded or integrated. This solution replaces or complements the nano SIM that all devices need to make calls or browse the internet.
In the Pyrenean country, it is possible to use mobile services contracted in our country, but with an extra charge. To avoid significant additional costs, you can purchase a prepaid SIM card or eSIM either in Andorra or before your arrival. Both options offer unlimited connection rates at national prices. What is the difference between the two?
For example, the main operator, Andorra Telecom, offers an eSIM that can be activated online. This means that while visiting the country, you can switch to this operator without changing your number or losing features on your device. Additionally, you can download the data plan before traveling and activate it upon arrival, without needing to look for a store at the airport or interrupt your vacation time.
Another advantage of the prepaid eSIM in Andorra is that it does not require handling the device, which eliminates the risk of damaging or losing the physical SIM card.
