No need to wait in line at a store or kiosk to get a travel SIM card. No more fumbling with ejector pins and SIM card trays. Your eSIM can be downloaded remotely and activated in your settings, so you'll be connected the moment your plane touches down at your destination.
By using a local eSIM, you avoid the often exorbitant roaming fees charged by your home network provider, potentially saving you a ton of money.
eSIM technology allows for dual SIM functionality, meaning you can stay reachable on your home number while using local data.
