Apps — Comparing travel connectivity

esim0 Team

A physical SIM, travel eSIM, home-carrier roaming and a portable Wi-Fi router meet different needs. Compare total cost, device compatibility, coverage, battery requirements and sharing options.

Navigation & Transport

  • Google Maps: The gold standard for navigation. Download offline maps before you go.
  • Citymapper: Essential for navigating complex public transport systems in major cities.
  • Uber/Grab/Bolt: Don't get stranded. Have the local ride-share app ready.

Language & Currency

  • Google Translate: The camera translation feature is a lifesaver for menus and signs.
  • XE Currency: Real-time exchange rates to ensure you're getting a fair deal.

Organization

  • TripIt: Organizes all your flight and hotel confirmations into one master itinerary.
  • Manage esim0 purchases, QR codes and usage in your browser account. Available top-ups appear for eligible eSIMs. Check compatibility and activation rules before paying.

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