Staying Connected Abroad with eSIM Plans
eSIMs let you add international data plans without swapping physical SIM cards. Coverage, price, and speed vary widely by provider and region. Having a primary and backup plan prevents dead zones from killing your work day.

Choose a Provider
Airalo, Holafly, and Nomad are the main consumer eSIM aggregators. Airalo offers pay-per-GB plans. Holafly offers unlimited data. Compare coverage maps for your specific destination, not just the region headline.

:PATH
Activate Before You Fly
Download and install the eSIM profile while on WiFi at home. Set it to activate on arrival. Some eSIMs require a QR scan that needs your current connection to complete.

:PATH
Manage Multiple Plans
Keep your home SIM active for calls and banking verification codes. Use the eSIM for data only. Most dual-SIM phones let you set data routing per SIM without switching manually.
