Important notice on Tunz eSIM usage in Russia.
On October 6th, 2025 we have been informed that due to Local Regulatory requirements, mobile operators in Russia apply a 24-hour service blocking period for Data to all roaming users (DENT eSIM uses roaming).
The blocking will be automatically applied from the moment of first registration in the network and will stay active for 24 hours, then it will be removed. If the eSIM is inactive for 3 days a new 24-hour block will be applied.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
We are happy to announce that UAE was added to our supported countries recently.
Due to national policies you cannot purchase a Tunz eSIM inside the UAE. So if you plan on traveling there, please buy and set up your Tunz eSIM beforehand. Don't forget to top up enough data for your trip.
In case your eSIM has not found a connection after some minutes, please try the following troubleshooting steps separately and give it some time after every change:
1. Ensure that your Tunz eSIM is activated in your settings.
2. Make sure Roaming is switched on in your settings.
3. Turn off Wifi and your physical SIM, restart your Device.
4. Remove some of your currently unused eSIM profiles as having many profiles installed can interfere with activation of a new profile.
5. Check your APN and if it is set to global.telcoequity you may change it to plus.
If you have tried all of these steps individually and it doesn't resolve your issue, please reach out to Support. Let them know what steps you have already taken and mention the country you are currently in.
In your email to Support please include a screenshot of your eSIM settings.
No worries, in the case that you got a new phone, please make sure to remove your Tunz eSIM profile from your old device first.
You can do this by going to your Settings App.
For Apple devices open "Cellular/ Mobile Data", select your Tunz eSIM and tap on “Remove Data Plan”.
For Google devices choose "Network & Internet", select "Advanced" and tap on "Erase eSIM".
For Samsung devices, please choose "Connections" => "SIM card manager", select your Tunz eSIM and tap on "Remove".
Now you can log in on your new device and your Tunz App will offer you the option to set up your Tunz eSIM on the Data Plans dashboard.
In case you forgot to remove your Tunz eSIM from your old device and don't have access to it any longer, please contact support.
No, Tunz is a mobile data service. We think that all you need for today's communication is mobile data: You can use any app for calls, and if you want, you can keep your primary phone number for calls and SMS, and run all your data through the Tunz eSIM.
Yes, you can use your physical SIM for calls and SMS and the Tunz eSIM for your data needs - if your device supports Dual SIM.
Many eSIM capable phones, e.g. Apple iPhone 11 Pro or Samsung S20, support Dual SIM. This allows you to have your physical SIM and your eSIM active at the same time. iPhone model 13 and higher support 2 active eSIMs at the same time.
Please check whether your phone settings and software versions support "Dual SIM Standby".
We at Tunz value our users and wanted to give back to them.
Therefore we created Kickback Rewards - a cash back system for DENT eSIM Data.
With every 500MB used you will now get back DENTs. The amount of DENTs depends mainly on the country you are in.
Kickback Rewards will show as cards on your Earn section. Once 500MB of eligible data has been used the card becomes active and the reward can be claimed. Please note that there is only a limited time to claim your reward.
Bonus data does not qualify for Kickback Rewards.

It has never been easier to set up a SIM. On your eSIM capable device: open the Tunz App and navigate to the Data tab on the left bottom. If you have a data package you will be presented with a button to set up your eSIM. Easy as 1-2-3.
If you are facing problems you can contact Support and ask for a QR code as well.
Please make sure that you have "Data Roaming" enabled and select Tunz for "Mobile Data" in the Settings app.
You will see your active and inactive Data Packages on your dashboard.
We at Tunz are on a mission to liberate mobile data and have the solution right here! In addition to your physical SIM card from your home provider, you can get a digital Tunz SIM card (eSIM - embedded SIM) for your next vacation or business travels and add the Data Package that suits you best.
This means that Tunz is now your Mobile Data Operator!
So next time you travel Overseas you don’t need to stand in line at an airport store and have someone you don’t know or trust handle your device. You can set up your Tunz eSIM before you leave home or when you get to your destination.
And the best of all: no more separate country plans for each country you visit. Our Data Packages are valid for ALL our supported countries. (Find a list of all 150 currently supported countries here.)
Of course, Tunz also works in your own country, if that country is supported.
International Mobile Data is available via eSIM. So if your phone is eSIM capable you can get started. You can find a current list of supported eSIM devices here.
Also make sure that your device is not SIM locked by your reseller.
Please note: for Data to work you need to activate data roaming in your phone preferences.
If you bought your iPhone in China mainland, Hong Kong or Macao please read the special notes from Apple here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209044
Getting new data has never been easier! Just tap on the Data icon at the bottom menu choice then select “Add Data Package”. Select the size that suits you most and head over to the summary where you can choose your payment method. After payment, please follow the setup process described in your Tunz App and you are ready to go. This may take some minutes, depending on your location and coverage. After installing the Tunz eSIM, you will find your active and inactive Data Packages on the Data dashboard.
In order for your eSIM to be installed, you will need to grant the Tunz App phone permission and activate roaming on your eSIM. If you haven’t done so already the Tunz App will guide you through during the installation process.
You can purchase data using multiple payment methods (e.g. DENT, PayPal, Credit Card) just tap on the “Add Data Package” button and top up your plan. Packages come in different sizes (e.g. 1, 3, 5 and 10GB) and validities (30 or 365 days).
Don't forget to check the Marketplace where other Tunz users sell their remaining data for reduced prices but make sure the left validity suits your needs.
The most likely reason for failure during your eSIM profile setup is that your phone is actually SIM locked. Please find out from your vendor if you can use any SIM with your phone. If you are certain that your phone has no restrictions, please contact our Support.
On iPhones you can check if your device is SIM locked following these steps:
Open Settings -> General -> About -> scroll down until you find: Network Provider Lock
Here you will see if your device has SIM restrictions.
