High roaming bills are the most common “hidden cost” of travel. With the new generation of smartphones, you no longer need to swap physical SIM cards.
Why eSIM?
- Instant Activation: Buy a plan on FlyNRun/Airalo before you land.
- Keep Your Number: Use your home SIM for WhatsApp/SMS while using the eSIM for cheap data.
- Cost: Data plans now start as low as $4.50 for 1GB in most countries.
Developer Note: Ensure your phone is “Carrier Unlocked” before trying to install an eSIM. Most phones sold after 2022 are compatible.
