No problem: The traveler\u2019s guide to eSIMs"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

The reasons you\u2019ll want to stay connected while traveling are pretty obvious: unless you\u2019re planning an Into the Wild<\/em> style off the grid experience, you\u2019ll probably want to be able to use your data to find your way around, buy tickets, upload photos onto social media, fire up that local dating app, or whatever you like to do while abroad.<\/p>\n

But, international data<\/a> and calling rates can place a hefty burden on your travel budget, not to mention roaming fees which vary with every border you cross. That\u2019s why buying physical SIM cards has been the option of choice for many travellers, until now.<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re finally entering the age of electronic SIM cards, better known as eSIMs, that store your phone\u2019s data in the cloud and can be installed and switched virtually. Basically an eSIM is a SIM card that\u2019s embedded directly into your device and can connect to any operator offering eSIM services. For travellers, this is good news because it means you can also buy prepaid cards for any country or region you plan to visit online before your trip. And there are now a number of options available such as Holafly eSIM<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve compiled this handy guide with everything travellersneed to know about eSIMs in 2023:<\/p>\n

1. Convenience<\/strong><\/p>\n

First and foremost, the biggest benefit to eSIMs is that you don\u2019t have to go to a physical store or even be in the country to purchase your data. Instead, you can shop online, choose a provider, and install it directly onto your phone (more on that later). This means that the moment you hit the ground you\u2019ll be connected, making it easier to order an Uber, find your way through a complex tube system, or just find the nearest bar with a happy hour.<\/p>\n

Then, once you\u2019re back home, you can just switch back to your local eSIM in a few clicks (don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ll share tips on that too).<\/p>\n

2. You can use multiple eSIMs<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is also a convenient option if you travel between countries often. iPhones that support eSIM allow you to have multiple cards and even use Dual SIMs, meaning you can have two activated at the same time.<\/p>\n

For example, if you\u2019re crossing borders back and forth on a regular basis, having Dual SIMs activated would allow you to automatically use whichever SIM is locally connected, without having to change your settings. You can also buy an eSIM for an entire region, for example, buying an eSIM for Europe will cover a number of different countries.<\/p>\n
