How to switch
How to replace carrier roaming with an eSIM
- 1Check eSIM compatibility.Go to Settings > General > About (iPhone) or Settings > Network > SIMs (Android). If you see 'eSIM' or 'Digital SIM', your phone supports it. Most phones from 2019 onward do.
- 2Pick a provider and buy a plan.Holafly, HelloRoam, and Airalo all offer plans for Greenland. Purchase online or through their app. You get a QR code immediately.
- 3Install the eSIM before your flight.Scan the QR code in your phone settings. Label the new line 'Travel Data'. This takes under 60 seconds and works on Wi-Fi.
- 4Turn on airplane mode before takeoff.This prevents your carrier from auto-enrolling you in a roaming pass. One background app sync can trigger the full $12/day charge.
- 5Switch to the eSIM for data after landing.Set your travel eSIM as the default data line. Keep your carrier line active for incoming calls and texts. Your phone number stays the same.
