Lithuania eSIM

An eSIM — embedded SIM — is a programmable chip built into your phone rather than a separate piece of plastic you insert. For Lithuania, the process is: buy a plan online, receive a QR code, scan it in your device's SIM settings, and the profile downloads over the air.

Yes, both run at the same time. Your home SIM stays in the phone, taking care of calls and texts as it normally would. The eSIM operates alongside it and handles data.

Most flagship phones made from 2020 onwards support eSIM. That includes iPhones from the XS (2018) through the current range, Samsung Galaxy S and Z series from 2020, Google Pixel 3 and later, and several other Android handsets.

Head to the eSIM Lithuania page on eSIM Cards, pick a plan that fits your trip, and complete checkout. A QR code comes through to your email. From there, go into your phone's cellular settings, choose to add a new plan, and scan the code.

Log in to your eSIM Cards account – your active plan will appear there with your current data balance, expiry date, and options to recharge.

Switching an eSIM between devices is not as simple as swapping out a physical SIM — eSIM profiles are usually locked to the device they were activated on. If you change phones in the middle of your trip, please contact our support team before doing anything.

Yes. If you burn through your data before the plan expires, you can top up through your eSIM Cards account. Log in, find the active plan, and add more data from there.

Generally, yes — and there is not much reason not to. Buying an eSIM before departure means you step off the plane with data ready rather than spending your first hour trying to find connectivity.

Absolutely — WhatsApp works normally in Lithuania. There are no restrictions on messaging apps, VoIP calls, or social media.

If you have not scanned your QR code, you can get a refund on your eSIM in genuine cases. After scanning and using the eSIM refund is unavailable.
