eSIM for business,
run like
software
A business eSIM is a company mobile plan installed as software on an employee’s phone, with no plastic SIM to post. The business owns the line, so IT can assign it, set a budget against it, see what it costs, and switch it off the day someone leaves.
eSIM Copilot is where you run them: assign plans, approve spend in Slack or Teams, and see what the team actually uses.
Multiple entities, thousands of people and devices, or a formal procurement process? That is the enterprise side of the platform.

How a business eSIM works
Three steps, and the line is live on a phone the employee already owns. You can run this on eSIM Copilot plans, on your existing carrier contract, or on both while you move across.

Network, data, and access controls
For business teams, eSIM value is visibility and control: which network a user is on, how much data is used, and whether company connectivity should still be available.

Cost against roaming
One employee, five days abroad
Roaming passes are priced per line and per day, so the bill grows with headcount and trip length. Here is the same trip costed both ways.
Carrier roaming day pass
$60
AT&T charges $12 a day for the first line on its International Day Pass, so five days is $60. It stops charging after 10 daily fees per line in a billing period, which caps a single line at $120.
eSIM Copilot Day Pass
$7.50 to $25.00
Our day rate runs from $1.50 to $5.00 for 1 GB, depending on the country, across 166 of them. Days the employee does not use data are not charged at all.
The two are not identical. A carrier day pass carries calls and texts on the employee’s own number, while the Day Pass covers data, so the personal line keeps the calls. Figures in US dollars, checked September 2026. Source: AT&T International Day Pass.
Pricing
From $1.50 per employee, per day of travel.
Day passes from $1.50, charged only on the days people travel. Monthly plans start with Starter, 5 GB/mo per employee at $9.99. Scale to Pro or Ultra as the team grows. No multi-year contract. No setup fees.

FAQ
Common questions.
What is a business eSIM?
A business eSIM is a mobile plan the company owns, installed as software on an employee’s phone instead of a plastic SIM card. IT assigns it, sets what it can spend, sees what it costs, and switches it off when the person leaves. The employee’s personal number is not touched.
Which devices work with a business eSIM?
Every iPhone from the iPhone XS onwards, Google Pixel from the Pixel 3 onwards, and Samsung Galaxy from the S20 onwards. Recent iPads, Apple Watches and a long list of other Android phones carry an eSIM too. If you are unsure about a particular handset, check it on our device list before you order.
What does a business eSIM cost?
Day passes start at $1.50 per employee for each day they use data, and nothing at all on the days nobody travels. Monthly plans start at $9.99 for 5 GB/mo per employee, with larger tiers above that. There is no setup fee and no multi-year contract. Prices here are in US dollars; the pricing page also shows pounds and euros.
How long does it take to set up?
A small team can be running the same day. An admin assigns a plan from the dashboard, Slack or Teams, the employee taps the install link they receive, and the eSIM activates on the phone they already carry. There is no hardware to order and nothing to post, so nobody waits on a courier.
Does this work on company-owned devices?
Yes, and on personal phones under a BYOD policy. On a company-owned handset the business eSIM is usually the only line on the device. On a personal phone it sits alongside the employee’s own SIM, so work data runs on the company plan while the personal number stays theirs and stays private.
How secure is it, and what happens when someone leaves?
The line belongs to the company, so access ends when you end it. One action in the dashboard disables an employee’s business eSIM in seconds, without touching their personal SIM or waiting on a carrier ticket. Admin access is protected by SSO and role-based permissions, and changes are logged. It sits under your MDM rather than replacing it: Jamf, Intune or Kandji manage apps and policy on the device, eSIM Copilot manages the cellular line beneath them.
