Sim Local discount code ESIMDISCOUNT10 gives 10% off the total of a travel eSIM order at online checkout, but the discount is fixed at payment, so the settings that follow have to be handled on the phone itself. The code is typed into the discount field before payment, and it cannot be added to an order after payment has been made.

The discount only changes the price. Once you have confirmed a discount line and the 10% drop in the total, the order is paid and the rest of the work happens on your phone. The published steps leave that work until after payment, so it is worth knowing what it involves before you start the purchase.

Sim Local describes the app as the fastest install route, with the plan downloadable in a couple of minutes. Separate quick install guides are published for iOS and Android. For iOS, the stated path is Settings, then Cellular or Mobile Service, then Add eSIM, and then scanning the QR code. The guidance is to install the eSIM about a day before travel.

Sim Local advises turning home SIM data roaming off after installing the eSIM. This matters because the eSIM is meant to replace roaming charges on your home line. You keep your existing number and physical SIM while using the eSIM, so the home line stays in place; only its data roaming is switched off.

A data-only eSIM does not give you a local phone number. If your plan includes calls and texts or a local number, that is a feature of the plan you chose, not of the discount.

The knowledge does not give the exact menu labels for every phone, so the iOS path above and the separate Android guide are the only stated routes. Check the screen labels on your own device against those guides rather than assuming them.

Plan validity is another point to keep in mind. Validity typically starts on the first connection abroad, but this varies by carrier. The knowledge does not say whether a plan starts at purchase for every carrier, so do not rely on a start time you have not seen in the order details or the guides.

Phones can usually hold up to about 10 eSIM profiles, and some devices cap storage. If you have installed several profiles over time, check how many are already on the phone before adding another.

Before you leave, confirm the following on the phone:

The discount itself is only confirmed at checkout, when the discount line appears and the total has dropped by 10%. If that line was not there before payment, the code cannot be added afterwards, so the check at the payment stage is the one that counts.
