An eSIM (Embedded SIM) is a digital version of a traditional SIM card built directly into your smartphone or device. It allows you to activate a mobile data plan without inserting any physical SIM card, making it ideal for travellers who want instant connectivity anywhere in the world.
GleeSIM takes this technology a step further by combining it with WhatsApp-based automation — making global connectivity simpler than ever. With GleeSIM, you can:
Instantly purchase and activate your travel eSIM online.
Receive full step-by-step guidance through WhatsApp, without the need to download any mobile app.
Get real-time usage updates, alerts at 80% and 90% consumption, and effortless top-ups for any destination.
In short, GleeSIM connects you to the world in minutes — all through WhatsApp.
No apps. No physical SIMs. Just seamless, reliable, and smart global data for travellers who value simplicity and innovation.

No, after an eSIM is being installed, it cannot be reused neither transferred. When changing devices, you may also have to call Gleesim Support and leave your new phone number in order to receive additional activation code and re-install the profile once again into the new cell phone.
At GleeSIM, we understand that travellers have a lot on their minds, and constantly checking data usage while on the move can be inconvenient — or even impossible.
That’s why GleeSIM proudly leads the industry as the world’s first Travel eSIM company to replace mobile app dependency with automated WhatsApp alerts.
Our intelligent system keeps you informed in real time by sending automatic notifications when your data usage reaches 80% and 90%, allowing you to conveniently recharge before running out of data.
Because at GleeSIM, we know your data is important — but ensuring a seamless, stress-free customer experience is even more important to us.
Absolutely. Your WhatsApp, Telegram, Snapchat and other messaging applications will keep on functioning normally on Gleesim with the same number and account even when you are in a different country.
No. Gleesim offers a pay-as-you-go type of business. Data plans are sold on a need basis only without any contractual obligations, no roaming charges, and this is fully flexible.
Gleesim uses encrypted eSIM technology and maintains activation and secure connection. Because it is integrated within a phone, the eSIM is more secure when traveling because it cannot be taken out and tampered with like a traditional SIM.
We will let you know via WhatsApp or email alert, on 80% and 90% usage with recharge/top up link to purchase additional data.
If a data is not consumed , we can refund back full amount excluding nominal admin processing charges. Requested plans cannot be reimbursed after being activated or utilized partially. Kindly go through our policy on refunds or ask our customer support team.
At GleeSIM, we believe in simplifying connectivity — not complicating it. Unlike conventional eSIM providers that require users to download and manage a separate mobile app, GleeSIM proudly introduces the world’s first Travel eSIM experience powered entirely through WhatsApp integration.
We do not believe in forcing our customers to download yet another app to stay connected. Instead, every step of your journey — from registration and eSIM installation to usage monitoring, top-ups, and destination changes — is managed seamlessly through WhatsApp.
Our intelligent WhatsApp system guides you in real-time, ensuring instant support, simple activation, and effortless management wherever you travel.

Yes, GleeSIM does offer a free trial eSIM. They are recognized as one of the first travel eSIM brands to provide a completely free eSIM trial with 500MB of data for all travelers.
You can get a free trial eSIM from GleeSIM and use data immediately upon arrival in destinations like Saudi Arabia (such as for Umrah or Hajj), China, Morocco, & Turkey. There are no hidden costs or contracts—simply register, scan your QR code, and you’re online.

One major benefit of our unlimited eSIMs is the ability to use your device freely as a hotspot. While many providers impose daily hotspot limits—often restricting usage to about 500 MB per day—GleeSIM takes a different approach. With a GleeSIM unlimited data eSIM, you can tether as many devices as you want, for as long as you need, with absolutely no restrictions. Enjoy truly unlimited hotspotting and share your connection worry-free on all our unlimited data plans.
Travellers shouldn’t have to worry about data limits—your focus should be on experiences, not gigabytes. With an unlimited eSIM, managing data is effortless; GleeSIM provides Auto alerts via whatsapp on Usage updates, so you’ll always know exactly where you stand.
When planning a journey, understanding typical data usage can help determine whether an unlimited eSIM is the best choice compared to traditional roaming fees. Here’s a general guide for travellers based on common activities and average 4G or Wi-Fi speeds:
2 hours on TikTok: 1.6 GB
45-minute HD Zoom call: 1.1 GB
1 hour of SD Netflix: 0.7–1 GB
30-minute FaceTime or WhatsApp video call: 90–240 MB
Uploading 50 holiday photos: 125–250 MB
1.5 hours of music streaming: 60–225 MB
45-minute podcast: 30–110 MB
20 minutes of live map navigation: 3–10 MB
Actual data usage may vary depending on device settings, video quality, and network conditions.
This is a vital question to ask when you're deciding between various eSIMs with Unlimited data. Most are usually subject to a fair usage policy.
At GleeSIM, we make these fair use details clear upfront, so you know how your plan works before you start using it.
Fair usage refers to a policy set by GleeSIM to ensure balanced and reliable access for all users. Under this policy, a provider may set a daily or periodic data threshold — typically within a 24‑hour cycle. Once you exceed this high‑speed data allowance, your connection speed may be temporarily reduced (throttled) to maintain network stability and fair access for other users.
For travelers, this means that after hitting the daily limit, data‑intensive activities such as streaming HD videos, making video calls, or gaming may experience slower speeds. However, this reduction is temporary — your eSIM automatically resets at the next cycle (for example, at midnight local time), restoring full‑speed connectivity.
In essence, a Fair Usage Policy isn’t a penalty — it’s a standard practice across mobile and eSIM networks designed to prevent network congestion and protect overall user experience while ensuring everyone enjoys a stable connection wherever they travel.
Most travellers don’t need to worry about this. Fair usage limits are generally set much higher than the amount of data an average traveller uses each day.
At GleeSIM, our unlimited eSIMs come with transparent and fair guidelines designed to keep your connection smooth throughout your journey. This means you’ll stay informed about how your plan works—without unexpected slowdowns or hidden restrictions.
In most cases, travellers never reach these limits and enjoy uninterrupted high-speed data for the entire trip.
It’s always a good idea to explore your options before picking an unlimited eSIM provider.
The right choice can make all the difference to your travel experience. At GleeSIM, transparency is part of everything we do — we clearly explain how our unlimited plans work, including fair usage and speed management, so you always know what to expect.
On our unlimited plans, speeds only reduce after using 3GB of data within a 24-hour period. Once the day resets (typically at midnight local time), your full speed is automatically restored.
No hidden surprises — just a clear, honest plan built around how travellers actually use data.
