Connectivity allows me to use the navigation apps to drive vehicles in European countries. Sometimes there are areas where service drops out.

About Airalo

Written by the company

Stay connected wherever you travel. With an Airalo eSIM (digital SIM), stay connected easily in 200+ destinations worldwide. No roaming fees or hidden costs — just easy, affordable, global connectivity.

What is an eSIM?

An eSIM is like a SIM card, but digital. It's built into your phone and functions just like a physical SIM.

Instead of having to go hunt for a physical SIM card, you can purchase an eSIM directly from the Airalo app, install it on your device, and instantly connect to a mobile network at your destination.

What is an Airalo eSIM plan?

An Airalo eSIM plan gives you access to mobile data, call, and text services. Choose between local, regional, or global eSIM plan to get online in 200+ destinations. You can also choose between Airalo's Unlimited packages for peace of mind, or choose a specific data package, over a number of days. Simply download the Airalo app, purchase your chosen eSIM, install it on your device, and connect to a mobile network when you arrive at your destination!

How does it work?

  1. Install the Airalo app.
  2. Purchase an eSIM plan for your travel destination.
  3. Install the eSIM.
  4. Turn on your eSIM and connect to the internet upon arrival.

Airalo eSIMs are available for 200+ destinations, including:

 

Why choose Airalo?

  • Our core values (empathy, ownership, innovation, trust, growth, and customer-first) dictate everything we do.
  • We are fully transparent about our eSIMs and prices, including the data cap and reset for our Unlimited packages.

eSIM FAQ

What does an Airalo eSIM package come with?

An Airalo package comes with a fixed amount of data (e.g., 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, etc.) valid for a specified time period (e.g., 7 days, 15 days, 30 days, etc.). You can also choose Unlimited data packages for a specified period. Airalo also offers calls, texts, and a phone number for 30+ destinations. If you run out of data or your validity period expires, you can top up your eSIM or download a new one right from the Airalo app.

How much does it cost?

eSIMs from Airalo start from US$4.50 for 1GB of data.

Does an eSIM come with a number?

Some eSIMs come with a phone number so you can call, text, and access data. Check your eSIM description for details before purchase.

 

What devices are ready?

You can find a regularly updated list of eSIM-compatible devices at this link:

Who is Airalo best for?

  • Anyone who travels, whether it's for business or vacation.
  • Digital nomads who need to stay connected to work while abroad.
  • Crew members (e.g., seafarers, flight attendants, etc.) who need to stay connected while they travel.
  • Anyone who wants an easy and affordable data alternative to their home network.

Can I use my SIM card at the same time?

Yes! Most devices allow you to use multiple SIMs and/or eSIMs simultaneously. You can keep your primary line active to receive text messages, calls, and 2FA authentication (but remember, they'll be subject to roaming fees).

Happy travels!

It was great overall

It was great overall - strong, fast signal, reliable… Until that one day (6/24/26) when our services were interrupted for several hours. There were 3 of us on Airalo for 15 days - my husband, my son, and I for our trip to Japan. Good thing we completed our train rides from a day trip in Kyoto and already walking to our hotel. That was probably between 530 and 6PM. Our map suddenly was giving us funny directions. When we reached our hotel, all 3 phones were showing SOS. We went out for a walk hoping that it was the hotel area that had no signal. We couldn’t find a restaurant to eat in because all menus were in Japanese and our translator wouldnt work. We ended up buying dinner from 7Eleven. Imagine if we were still in Kyoto and couldnt figure out how to ride a train back to Osaka. At the hotel, we were forced to use their wifi, which was almost inexistent. We spent the night in the hotel, doing nothing, as it would be useless going out without wifi on our phones. That was really frustrating. It was actually a great experience with Airalo except for those 5 or 6 hours without signal. =(

Seamless Connectivity and Outstanding Travel Experience

I’ve tried several eSIM providers over the years, and Airalo has been the best experience by far. Everything worked exactly as promised—from purchasing the eSIM to activation and using it throughout my trip. The connection was fast, stable, and reliable wherever I traveled.

What impressed me most was how simple and stress-free the whole experience was. I never had to look for a local SIM card or worry about expensive roaming charges. Airalo made staying connected effortless.

Thank you for creating such an excellent service. I’ll definitely be using Airalo for all my future trips and recommending it to my family and friends. Keep up the great work!

Mobile internet is useless

Mobile internet is useless. It’s VERY slow to the point where Google maps can’t even load 100%.
I’m using my wife’s phone which has international roaming to get around.
Had I known this from the beginning, I definitely would not have purchased the $72 dollar 15 day no limit data In Macedonia.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Aytekin.

We're sorry to hear the connection wasn't fast enough to support something as essential as navigation during your trip. We understand how disappointing it is when you're relying on your eSIM and have to switch to another connection instead.

Please reach out to our Support team via the in-app chat or through WhatsApp on our website or app. Via our in-app chat, we have live human agents available 24/7. Simply ask to speak with an agent, and you'll be immediately connected. We'll review your eSIM, check what may have affected the connection, and work with you to find the most appropriate solution.

It’s a bit pricy. But easy to use. We are seniors and it’s easier than purchasing a new SIM card for us.
