Do I need an account to buy an eSIM?

Quick answer

No. You can pay as a guest with just an email address, and you do not need an eSiMAZE account to receive or use the eSIM. Once fulfilment succeeds, we email all usable installation details available for your eSIM to the address you paid with, together with any package-specific settings that apply. The exact installation method varies by eSIM. An account is optional, and gives you a dashboard as an additional way to reach the same eSIM.

What happens after a guest purchase

• Payment being confirmed starts fulfilment. It does not by itself mean your eSIM is ready.
• When fulfilment actually succeeds, the installation email is sent to the exact address entered at checkout. That address is the only place we send it.
• If a purchase fails, is still being verified, or is refunded before it was ever fulfilled, no "your eSIM is ready" email is sent - because there are no installation details to send.

If the email has not arrived

• Check spam and any filtered folders, and confirm the address you typed at checkout.
• Allow a little time. Fulfilment is usually quick but is not guaranteed to be instant.
• Do not buy again. See why haven't I received my eSIM or top-up yet, then contact us if it still has not arrived.

Adding a guest purchase to a dashboard

A dashboard is optional, but if you want one:

1. Straight after paying, in the same browser, tap Sign Up on the checkout confirmation page.
2. Create the account with the same email address you used at checkout - it must be the exact same address - and confirm it from the message we send.
3. Sign in and open /app/esims.

Doing this in the same browser links your purchase to the new account automatically. This is currently the only self-service way to bring a guest purchase into an account - signing up later from a different browser, a different device, or after clearing your cookies will not automatically bring in a purchase made as a guest, even with the matching email address. That affects dashboard access only: your installation email still works, and you can still install and use the eSIM from it.

If you no longer have that browser session

You can still install the eSIM from the email. If you also want it in a dashboard, contact us with the email address used at checkout, the approximate purchase date, and, if you have it, the order or plan name.

If you already have an account

• You receive exactly the same installation email as a guest does, sent to your checkout address.
• Your eSIMs also stay at /app/esims and your receipts at /app/orders.
• You can raise a support ticket from /app/support. Mention your order or destination in the message if the ticket relates to a purchase.

Important

Keep the installation credentials in that email private. Depending on the eSIM, these may include a QR code, an installation link, or activation values, and whoever installs them first may consume the package.
