Do I Need an Account to Buy an eSIM?

You Can Browse and Buy Without an Account

Only eSIM is designed to get you connected quickly. You can browse all available plans, compare data packages, and start the checkout process without signing in or creating an account first.

At checkout, you'll need to provide an email address. This is essential because it's where we send:

• Your QR code to install the eSIM on your phone
• Your order confirmation with plan details and receipt
• Any important updates about your order

That's all you need to complete a purchase. Enter your email, pay, and your eSIM details arrive in your inbox within minutes.

What Creating an Account Gets You

While you don't strictly need an account to buy, creating one gives you access to useful features:

• Order history — see all your past and current purchases in one place
• QR code access — retrieve your QR code anytime without digging through emails
• eSIM status — check whether your plan is active, expired, or depleted
• Top-ups — easily add more data to an existing plan
• Faster future purchases — your email is already on file, so checkout is quicker

If you travel regularly, having an account makes managing multiple eSIM plans much easier.

Creating an Account Takes 30 Seconds

There's no lengthy sign-up form and no password to create. You have two options:

Option 1: Sign in with Google

1. Go to onlyesim.com and click Sign In
2. Click Continue with Google and select your Google account
3. You're in -- instant, no codes to enter

Option 2: Sign in with email OTP

1. Go to onlyesim.com and click Sign In
2. Enter your email address and we'll send you a one-time verification code
3. Check your inbox, enter the code, and you're in

No password. No profile to fill out. No verification hoops to jump through.

Already Bought as a Guest? Here's What to Do

If you've already completed a purchase without an account, nothing is lost. Here's how to connect that order to a dashboard:

1. Find your confirmation email — search your inbox (and spam folder) for "Only eSIM" to locate the email with your QR code and order details
2. Sign in with the same email — go to onlyesim.com, click Sign In, and either click Continue with Google (if your Google account uses the same email) or enter the exact email address you used at checkout
3. Verify — if using email OTP, check your inbox for the verification code and enter it. If using Google Sign-In, you're already in.
4. Your orders appear automatically — any purchases made with that email address will be linked to your new account

Important: You must use the same email address you provided during checkout. If you sign in with a different email, your previous orders won't show up because they're tied to the original address.

Which Should You Choose?

Here's a simple way to think about it:

• Buying one eSIM for a single trip? Guest checkout works great. You'll get everything you need via email.
• Travel regularly or want easy access to your QR code? Create an account. It takes 30 seconds and makes your life easier down the road.

Either way, you'll get the same eSIM, the same QR code, and the same data plan. The only difference is how you access your order details afterward.
