Stay connected wherever business takes you with Qonto’s mobile data service. You can purchase data plans covering a specific country, a broader region, or with global access across 163 countries without relying on Wi-Fi or paying roaming fees through your existing phone plan.
The service runs on eSIM technology: a digital SIM card built directly into your phone that works alongside your existing plan. You install it once, and it’s ready to use each time you activate a new data plan.
Mobile data plans can be purchased and managed by Owners, Admins, and Managers from the Qonto app, for themselves or for team members.
How does eSIM installation work?
The installation is a one-time process done entirely digitally through your phone’s settings. Once your eSIM is installed, it stays on your device and is automatically ready to activate whenever you purchase a new data plan – no reinstallation needed.
If a manager purchases a data plan on your behalf, you will receive an email confirmation and be directed to the Mobile data section in the app, where you can install your eSIM. This setup only needs to be completed once, regardless of how many data plans you use in the future.
For a step-by-step installation and setup guide, see our dedicated article: How do I install and set up my Qonto eSIM?
Once the eSIM is installed, you’ll need to activate your data plan. See our guide: How do I activate my Qonto mobile data plan?
If your eSIM or data plan is not working as expected, see our dedicated troubleshooting article: What should I do if my Qonto eSIM or mobile data isn’t working?
Who can purchase and manage data plans?
Mobile data purchases are exclusively managed by Owners, Admins, and Managers. They can buy plans for themselves or for any team members, ensuring full control over all mobile data spending.
Employees can use any data plan purchased for them, but they cannot initiate purchases themselves.
Can I use my mobile data with hotspot (tethering)?
Yes, your mobile data can also be used for tethering.
⚠️ Keep in mind that tethering can consume a lot of data in a short time, so monitor your usage carefully if you rely on this feature.
Can I still use the Qonto app if I don't have an active data plan?
Yes. The Qonto app itself works normally regardless of whether you have an active data plan.
