Skip home-carrier data roaming, physical SIM swaps, contracts, airport kiosk queues and ID checks. You only need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone, with no physical SIM to collect before using your data.
Keep your own number while the eSIM handles data only. Your own SIM stays in your phone, so calls, SMS, WhatsApp and bank codes can still reach your existing number.
Choose a short plan for a Gibraltar city break exploring Main Street and the Rock. Longer plans suit extended stays visiting family or spending more time around Catalan Bay.
Get your eSIM installed before departure, ready to connect on arrival. You can use mobile data before passport control, without searching for airport Wi-Fi to get online.
What it is not: a phone number. For a local number to receive sign-up codes or bookings, add a virtual number next to the data plan.
How it works

Pay and scan the QR code
Pay from your balance and get the QR code at once.
3
Turn it on when you land
Turn on data roaming and it finds a network itself.

FAQ
Using an eSIM in Gibraltar: your questions
You need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone to use these plans in Gibraltar. Dial *#06# to look for an EID, which identifies eSIM support.
Yes, your own SIM stays in your phone for calls and SMS. The Gibraltar eSIM supplies data, while WhatsApp keeps using your existing number.
Your own SIM receives SMS codes, not your Gibraltar data eSIM. Keep that SIM turned on; delivery relies on your home carrier and the sender.
A phone hotspot shares its mobile data connection with a laptop. If you share data in Gibraltar, that usage comes from your plan's allowance.
You can buy another plan using your prepaid account balance. Your new Gibraltar plan arrives with its own QR code and manual activation code.
You can buy another Gibraltar plan for the extra time. Its validity starts on first connection, so buying it early does not start the clock.
Select your eSIM for mobile data and turn on its data roaming. Turn flight mode on, then off, so your phone tries connecting again.
