Running eSIMs for a team that travels often
For a team the problem is not price; it is who holds the QR, who can expense it, and who fixes it at 3am.

Quick answer
- Bulk ordering with one invoice removes far more paperwork than staff buying individually and claiming back.
- Nominate one administrator who holds the order list and deals with support on the team's behalf.
Past two or three travellers the real cost shifts from the plans to the administration. A team that runs this well knows who holds which profile, when it expires, and who to call when it breaks.
A structure that works
- Nominate one administrator per team or department
- Order against the travel calendar rather than the night before departure
- Deliver QR codes through a controlled channel, not an open group chat
- Keep order numbers and tax invoices in one place
An eSIM QR is sensitive: whoever scans it first can claim the profile. Send it one to one and ask staff to install promptly.
What finance usually asks for
- A tax invoice in the company name with the tax number
- A breakdown by employee or cost centre
- A billing cycle that matches the closing period
FAQ
What if someone leaves mid-trip?+
An installed profile is bound to that device and generally cannot move. Stop renewals and plan a new purchase for whoever takes over.
Is there an API for internal systems?+
Yes for business customers above a volume threshold; contact the business team to scope access and authentication.
