Going overseas? Choose an eSIM for the most budget-friendly connection!

You’ve booked the flights. Planned the itinerary. Grabbed the travel insurance. Now, you’re counting down the days until your trip. But there is one more thing to consider. How will you use your mobile phone once you hop off the plane? Connecting to mobile data as soon as you arrive will make it a lot easier to find transport to your accommodation, notify family back home that you landed, and help you find the best local eateries while out-and-about.

Your first thought may be to just grab a mobile roaming data plan from your mobile provider. Unfortunately, this is the most expensive option. These are also charged on a daily basis and can add up quickly! 

Choose an eSIM for the most convenient, and cheapest way to stay connected when you arrive at your destination. 

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM is an embedded sim that is built into your smartphone. The chip is reprogrammable and, when you purchase an eSIM plan, will recognise you as a mobile subscriber and connect you to the network when you arrive at your destination. It is all completely digital, and doesn’t require a physical sim. 

What is Roaming Data?

Roaming data is another way to stay connected, using your mobile provider from home. Roaming data plans get you connected when overseas, via your domestic phone plan for a daily fee. This daily fee can add up, and turn into an expensive endeavour.
