San Marino eSIM

For sure. Tourists are allowed to buy a San Marino eSIM. Actually, when it comes to visitors, it is by far the most practical option — the country doesn’t have an international airport, so there is no natural place to get a local physical SIM upon arrival.

Yes. Once your device is within coverage and connects to a local network, the eSIM San Marino plan will be activated automatically. No need to do anything when you get there.

Yes, hotspot sharing is available on plans that use eSIM cards. You can use the classic hotspot option on your phone and share your San Marino eSIM data with a laptop, tablet, or even another phone.

Yes. eSIM technology itself is secure — profiles are encrypted and tied to the specific device they are installed on. On the purchasing side, eSIM Cards uses a secure checkout system, and your payment details are not stored. The best eSIM for San Marino also gives you your own private data connection, which is considerably more secure than using public Wi-Fi hotspots in cafes or hotels.

If the eSIM profile is deleted from your device, please contact our support team immediately. In some circumstances, you can rescan the original QR code to reinstall the profile, but this is not guaranteed for all devices and carriers. Contacting support first is the advised step -- they can see what options are available for your particular plan and situation.

Upgrade options vary according to the that which plan you bought. Log in to your eSIM Cards account and see your dashboard if you have any upgrade/top-up offers for your active San Marino eSIM. If nothing comes up, or you are unsure, the support team can let you know the fastest way to get more data sorted.

No. That is one of the more practical advantages of eSIM. The eSIM plan installs digitally and runs alongside whatever physical SIM is already in your phone. Your home SIM stays in the device and continues handling calls and texts on your regular number. The eSIM handles data separately. No swapping, no risk of losing a tiny card somewhere on the road.

Most flagship smartphones released from 2018 to 2020 support eSIM. This covers iPhones from the XS model onwards, Samsung Galaxy S and Z series from 2020, Google Pixel 3 and above, and various other Android handsets. Before purchasing, it is worth checking the supported devices list on the eSIM Cards site to confirm your specific model is compatible — especially if you are using a device that was bought in a market where eSIM support was locked by the carrier.

Yes — this is a much-asked-about question, so I will be clear about it here: Hotspot is fully supported. You can turn your eSIM data into a mobile hotspot and use it on any other device. Just turn on the feature in your phone's settings, then connect to the network with your device like you would any Wi-Fi network. The data you use counts toward your plan allowance as usual.

Yes. The eSIM plans from eSIM Cards support both 4G and 5G, where the local network infrastructure provides it. San Marino is a small territory, and coverage is generally solid across the main areas that visitors go to. If 5G is available at your location and your device supports it, the plan will use it automatically.
