Guide

How SIM and eSIM work for telecom and retail.

Mobile operators and retailers already sell phones, plans, and travel goods. A travel plan fits where roaming stops, where a new phone is set up, and where shoppers buy for the holidays.

01

Where the offer meets the traveler

On the roaming page and the add-on list of an operator app, at the phone counter during the setup of a new phone, and at the service desk of a supermarket or a convenience store before the holidays.

02

SIM pack or eSIM

An operator sells eSIM in its app through the API. A phone shop sells SIM packs for phones with only a SIM slot and installs eSIM vouchers on the store Wi-Fi. A chain keeps packs at the desk and sells eSIM in its app.

03

Who pays

The customer pays your retail price. Commercial terms are agreed privately. A large operator can add a co-branded eSIM store.

04

What to check

Show the plan only where the roaming of a plan does not cover the trip. SIM packs stay at a staffed desk, where staff check the phone. A shopper with an EU SIM roams like at home inside the EU.

Commercial model

You set the retail price.

Buy at partner rates, keep the customer relationship, and agree the support split privately. One catalogue, three commercial shapes.

01
Partner rates

Wholesale pricing before your retail price.

02
Your retail price

You decide what the customer pays.

03
Private terms

Support, refunds, and volume in the agreement.
