**How to Select IMSI on Surfroam eSIM**

Surfroam uses multi-IMSI technology, meaning your eSIM carries multiple IMSI profiles (IMSI 2, 7, 10, 22, 25, and 26). Each country has specific available IMSIs with different coverage and rates.

By default, your eSIM automatically selects an IMSI, but you can manually switch IMSI for better coverage or lower rates.
