Travel Tuesday: Escape WiFi & Roaming Charges Forever

International Roaming

Data roaming might be convenient but it's expensive and unpredictable. Unexpected roaming charges happen all the time. Plus, coverage can be slow and unreliable as local users typically get network priority.

WiFi

It might be free but Wi-Fi availability varies widely from country to country, and you’re not always guaranteed to find a strong (or secure) connection. More importantly, you waste precious time looking for internet.

Travel SIM Card

Traditionally, the travel SIM card was the go-to solution for connectivity abroad. However, it involves finding a store, purchasing the card, and physically swapping it with your current SIM—a process that can be quite tedious.

A travel eSIM is a digital SIM that unlocks affordable travel data anywhere. No need to find a store or worry about roaming charges. Connect to local networks in 150+ countries!

Use code UNLIMITED20 at checkout.

Hurry! This Black Friday sale ends at midnight (GST) on Travel Tuesday.

How do I install a travel eSIM?
Plus icon

After purchasing a plan from Sim Local, simply follow the guided instructions to get connected. We recommend that you download and install your eSIM on your departure day, and when you have a Wi-Fi connection.

Can I use a travel eSIM alongside my regular SIM card?
Plus icon

Yes, most modern smartphones support dual SIM functionality, allowing you to receive calls from your regular SIM card and access data on your eSIM simultaneously.

What happens if I run out of data on my travel eSIM?
Plus icon

You can top up your eSIM plan, depending on the provider (*Smartroam only). Download the Sim Local app to check your data balance* and top up in seconds*.

Are travel eSIMs secure to use?
Plus icon

Yes! An eSIM uses the same security protocols as physical SIM cards, including encryption to protect your data. And since an eSIM is embedded—it cannot be removed from your device, so is safer than a traditional SIM card.

How do I switch back to my existing plan?
Plus icon

When you return home, it only takes a few seconds to switch back to your existing plan. Simply go to your phone settings and select your primary SIM card.

What does validity mean?
Plus icon

Validity refers to the number of days a plan can be used for.

The validity period will start when you install your plan or when you arrive at your destination, depending on the provider. Your plan details will state when the validity period starts.

Can I keep my eSIM if I change my phone number?
Plus icon

Yes! Your eSIM is associated with your smartphone rather than your operator plan or phone number.

Can I use more than one eSIM at a time?
Plus icon

You can have several plans on your smartphone and switch between them instantly, depending on where you are and the plan you wish to use. Some devices support a dual-eSIM configuration, but usually you cannot use more than two at the same time. Check your device manufacturer guidelines for more information.

Can I switch between eSIM profiles?
Plus icon

Yes! You can have multiple active plans (usually up to 10) on your phone and instantly switch between them depending on where you are and the plan you wish to use.  However, some devices will limit the number of eSIMs you can store on your phone. You may need to remove an old eSIM to activate a new one.
