About this app

With an eSIM from Airalo, get connected the moment you arrive at your destination, without worrying about roaming fees, SIM card hunting, or untrustworthy airport wifi.

Airalo is the world’s first and largest eSIM marketplace. Browse eSIMs in 200+ destinations — including Unlimited data packages in over 120+ destinations.

What’s an eSIM?

An eSIM is a digital SIM built right into your phone. No physical card, no fuss. Browse data packages, buy, install, and get online — all directly from the app.

Choose from any one of Airalo’s eSIM plans and packages:
- Local eSIMs for single-country trips, starting from just $4 USD
- Regional eSIMs for multi-country adventures across Europe, Asia, Latin America, and more
- Global eSIMs covering 160+ countries in one install — with data, calls, and texts
- Unlimited eSIMs for when you want peace of mind without having to worry about your data usage

How it works (it's really this easy)
1. Install the Airalo app
2. Choose your eSIM plan based on your travel needs (location, fixed GB or unlimited data, number of days)
3. Buy your eSIM
4. Install the eSIM directly on the Airalo app
5. Turn on your eSIM and get data as soon as you arrive in your new destination

Track your usage in real time, manage multiple eSIMs in one place, and top up on the fly — because plans change, and we help you adapt to them.

PS: If your device supports keeping two lines active at the same time, your original SIM can stay active, so you never miss a call or a 2FA code from home. Just make sure Mobile Data and Roaming are strictly assigned to your Airalo eSIM to prevent unexpected charges from your domestic carrier.

- We are fully transparent about our product, including the fair usage policy and data cap for our Unlimited data packages.
- Over 30 million travelers trust us to keep them connected across 200+ destinations.

- No hidden fees or surprise charges
- eSIM options for calls, text, and phone numbers

FAQs

Can I use my SIM card at the same time as an eSIM?
- 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 (just remember that these will be subject to roaming fees).

Do Airalo eSIMs come with phone numbers?
- Yes, we offer both options. Some of our eSIMs come with a phone number that includes data, calls, and texts, while others are data-only packages designed purely for internet connectivity. You can easily check which features are included in the plan's details before purchasing.

Can I make phone calls and send text messages with an Airalo eSIM?
- Yes, if you choose an eSIM that specifically includes data, calls, and texts. For data-only eSIMs, you won’t be able to make traditional phone calls or send SMS, but you can still use internet-based apps like WhatsApp to stay in touch seamlessly.

Their eSIMs are good value and we've had no issues with them, including the Internet speed. We've used them in about 10 different countries. They also give you a sort of cash back credit to buy the next eSIM. It's also nice that they offer 3 different ways to install the eSIM, including QR code so it's easy to just buy multiple eSIMs on one phone and install them on all the phones of the family.

When I first started using the app 2 years ago, they provided all the setup information required upfront and it worked great. Since their last update, crucial information has been near impossible to find (e.g. APN settings). Their chat bot claims the information is exposed when it actually isn't, so these days instead of having a connection upon arrival I am forced to connect to wifi and go through their AI chat to get the right setup information.

I rarely write a review for an app. This deserves 0 if I could give it. The eSIM disappeared after switching and it has happened twice within a day during my travel. Automated support was able to help resolve by offering a replacement the first time. The second time with an actual tech support was just the worst customer experience. I rather deal with an automated agent than an incompetent person.
