Whether you plan on traveling for work or pleasure this year, you’ve likely thought about the high roaming fees that can add up during international trips. Instead of relying on your standard data plan, you can harness the technology of a Holafly eSIM to use your phone’s embedded hardware and avoid extra charges.

How Does an eSIM Work?

Tourists and professionals alike will appreciate eSIM cards for international travel. These digital alternatives to traditional SIM cards require less time and effort, and many devices are already set up to embrace their travel-approved advantages.

Differences Between an eSIM and SIM Card

Unlike the physical SIM card many of us are familiar with, an eSIM, or “embedded SIM,” is completely virtual. These tourist sim cards can already be found in devices from some of the world’s top manufacturers, including Apple, Google, and Samsung. A microchip installed on eSIM-compatible devices allows you to set up multiple profiles, which is similar to having access to several SIM cards at once. Since each profile can be assigned its own phone number and data plan, using an eSIM abroad to save money is easy. When you purchase a data plan from another country and assign it to one of your phone’s profiles, you won’t have to worry about paying roaming fees as you travel.

Dual SIM Function, but Digital

Installing an eSIM travel data plan gives you the benefits of having multiple SIM cards in a single device with none of the hassle. Gone are the days of waiting for your new plastic card to be delivered or trekking to the store to find one that’s compatible with your phone. Using an eSIM also allows for much more data storage than traditional memory chips, as well as the use of additional phone numbers and data plans. Gaining access to all of the benefits that eSIMs have to offer is as simple as shopping online and can be done in minutes from the comfort of your own home.

How to Get an International eSIM

Buying access to an international eSIM online is fast, easy, and available almost instantly. To activate the eSIM chip in your phone, it first needs to be unlocked. Since only unlocked phones can access the integrated eSIM, you’ll need to make sure your phone is unlocked prior to purchasing an eSIM.

Once your phone is ready and connected to the internet, open Settings > Mobile Data > Add Data Plan on your phone to open the camera and scan the QR code shown on the provider’s website. The configuration will then be transferred to your phone’s eSIM, and a series of a few simple steps will complete the process. You can choose whether the eSIM will be used for calls and data, or data only, depending on your needs. You can even configure the same eSIM as many times as you want, which is great if you plan to travel often.
