Everything you need to know before purchase and activation
Vlex eSIM is a digital SIM — no shop visit or delivery. Pay online, receive a QR code by email, and scan it on your phone. Your physical SIM stays in the device for calls and SMS.
On the Russian site (vlex-esim.ru) we accept SBP and MIR cards. On the international site you pay in USD/EUR via Stripe.
