Compare the current plan price, data allowance, validity and covered countries before buying. Daily allowances, hotspot access and top-ups depend on the selected plan.

What is Roaming?

A travel eSIM provides mobile data. Calls, SMS and Wi-Fi calling on your home number remain subject to your home carrier’s terms and charges. Turning off data roaming does not disable calls.

The Alternative: eSIM

Prices and availability can change. Check the data allowance, coverage and activation rules of your selected plan before paying.

Tips to Avoid Charges

  • Turn off "Data Roaming" for your primary SIM.
  • An eSIM does not prevent phishing or make every connection safe. HTTPS helps protect data on both Wi-Fi and mobile networks. Keep software updated, check website addresses and protect your accounts.
  • Switch to a local eSIM for data needs.
