Travel Data Alternatives for the Garmin Forerunner 955

This device has no built-in eSIM, so travel eSIMs can't be installed on it. For data abroad you can: ① buy a local or travel physical SIM at your destination; ② rent a pocket Wi-Fi (see the pocket WiFi vs eSIM cost breakdown first); ③ install a travel eSIM on another eSIM-capable phone or tablet and share its hotspot. When upgrading, an eSIM-capable model makes travel much easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Garmin Forerunner 955 support eSIM?

No. The Garmin Forerunner 955 (2022) has no eSIM that third-party carriers can write to — either the model carries no cellular radio at all, or its embedded SIM is reserved for the manufacturer's own subscription service. See the note on this page for which applies.

Can I use a travel eSIM on the Garmin Forerunner 955?

No — MyeSIM's travel eSIMs, and any other carrier's, cannot be installed on it. Install the travel eSIM on the phone you pair the watch with: the watch then reaches the internet over Bluetooth from that phone, which covers notifications, live tracking and syncing while you travel.

Which devices should I put the travel eSIM on instead?

Your phone, or a tablet with a cellular model. Check it in our device database or the interactive compatibility checker first — then the watch simply follows the phone.
