I always recommend Airalo to collegues. I travel a reasonable amount and Airalo has been reliable for me and available in a lot of countries. Last year they didn't have Singapore (I think this was re-added?) and it was annoying and expensive to buy an eSim at the airport. Reminded me how great their service is.

I used to use that provider in Germany - I don't like it because for some reason it only uses LTE and half the time I need it it's not working at all. :-)
The MobiMatter app that someone suggested above seems to be cheaper and also support normal 5G networks. It's been pretty reliable to me so far, i could recommend it.

#34Can you explain how your paid tier works? Is it 1.95€ a day unlimited worldwide, or are there charges on top of that?
I'm not affiliated, just randomly stumbled upon it.
In the app, it seems to scale between
1 day - 3.50 Euro
30 days - 59.40 Euro (1.98/day)
The pricing doesn't seem great, but also not terrible. So it could work out for them, due to convenience.

#36This is so backwards. We now have cheap and fast cryptocurrency (I build Tonkeeper, a wallet for TON) and eSIMs that cover big chunks of world at a time. The cost is low, it's one-click purchase and you have a reliable connection without spam.
Basic human right is not to sell your soul for pennies, but to be able to buy things you need, cheap and easy without lame border controls and obnoxious banking fees.

+1 for Airalo.
Used Airalo recently on a trip to Switzerland. I think I paid 5€ for the cheapest plan and got a 3.5€ voucher that made my wife's eSIM 1.5€. Worked very well the whole time and everything was very smooth.
The standard EU free roaming does not cover CH, at least not on my plan, so I needed something like this.

#38Earlier quoted context omitted.
It does say, “Pay a fair local rate.” So, I'm going to assume it is €1,95/day + local rate (not roaming rate).
What is the definition of "fair"?
I believe, it is going to be -- if the local rate is X, we just charge you that and nothing more added on top.

#39This is really nice. I think you should you clarify in the app if the 2GB on the paid plan are per day.

#40Word of caution for people trying to activate this outside the supported regions: it does not work, it just stays stuck at “Activating” state on iOS with no way to remove the eSIM.
