Keep your number. Add mobile data.
Use Bird eSIM for mobile data alongside your existing line on a compatible dual-SIM phone. Your number stays with your current provider for calls and messages. Bird eSIM does not transfer mobile numbers or import an existing profile, so check device support and coverage before buying.

Before you buy
Check the phone and the destination.
Confirm that the phone supports eSIM, accepts another carrier and can keep the required lines active together. Check the selected package’s covered countries, allowance and validity against your trip.
Check the exact device model
eSIM and dual-SIM support can vary by model and country of purchase. Use the manufacturer’s guidance for the exact device and confirm that it is unlocked.
Keep your existing line
Your number stays with your current provider. Keep that service active for calls and messages, and review its roaming charges before using it abroad.
Set up your data line
Install a separate profile for data.
After your order completes, open the installation instructions while the phone has an internet connection. Add the Bird eSIM and give it a recognizable label so you can choose the correct line for mobile data.
Choose your installation method
Use the QR code, the supported setup link on the phone or manual entry. Follow the supplied instructions for any roaming or APN settings.
Choose the line for each service
Keep calls and messages on your existing line and select the Bird eSIM for mobile data. A number displayed with an eSIM does not establish that ordinary calls or SMS are included.
Check your connection
Confirm that mobile data works.
In a covered destination, select the Bird eSIM for mobile data, briefly turn off Wi-Fi and open a webpage. A completed order or installed profile does not by itself confirm a working connection.
Check the package terms
Review when validity starts and ends, then check reported usage with its update time. Installation and package activation can happen at different times.
Plan the next trip
Check compatible top-ups before buying another profile. Cancel automatic renewal separately if you no longer need it; removing a profile from the phone does not stop scheduled purchases.
