AIRALO the digital Simcard

Is the world’s first eSIM store that solves the pain of high roaming bills by giving travelers access to eSIMs (digital SIM cards). More than one million people are already using Airalo's eSIMs.

With eSIMs from Airalo, travelers can download and install a digital data pack for over 200 countries/regions and get connected anywhere in the world as soon as they land.

Benefits for customers

• With Airalo's eSIMs, travelers can access the Internet from virtually any country on the planet and don't have to pay excessive roaming charges.

• Travelers don’t need to waste their time looking for a local plastic SIM card. The eSIM can be activated either immediately after installation or upon arrival at the traveler’s destination.

• A wide range of eSIMs are available for different countries and regions. The tourist does not even have to buy a card for a specific country. If he/she intends to travel, he/she can buy a regional eSIM on Airalo. For example, there are eSIMs available for the entire continent of Europe.

• The support team is available 24/7/365, and are happy to offer prompt assistance via chat on the Airalo website, social media, or email.

An eSIM, short for "embedded Subscriber Identity Module," is a digital version of the traditional physical SIM card used in mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and other connected devices. Unlike physical SIM cards that need to be inserted and removed from a device's SIM card slot, an eSIM is embedded directly into the device's hardware or can be remotely programmed.

Here are some key characteristics and advantages of eSIMs:

1. Embedded Nature: eSIMs are soldered or integrated into the device during manufacturing, making them a permanent part of the device. However, some devices may also have a combination of eSIM and a physical SIM card slot.

2. Remote Activation: One of the main benefits of eSIMs is that they can be activated remotely by the user or the carrier. This means you can switch between mobile carriers or data plans without needing a physical SIM card swap. This is particularly convenient when traveling or changing carriers.

3. Multiple Profiles: Some devices with eSIM capabilities can store multiple profiles, allowing you to use different mobile carriers or data plans on the same device. This can be useful for travelers who want to switch to a local carrier when abroad.

4. No Physical Wear and Tear: Since eSIMs are not handled physically like traditional SIM cards, they don't wear out or get damaged over time. This can lead to increased durability and longer device lifespan.

5. Space-Saving: eSIMs take up very little physical space in a device, which can be crucial in smaller or more compact devices like smartwatches and IoT devices.

6. Enhanced Security: eSIMs can offer enhanced security features, such as remote disabling in case of theft, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to access your device and data.

7. Environmental Benefits: As eSIMs eliminate the need for physical SIM cards, they can contribute to reducing e-waste and the environmental impact associated with SIM card production and disposal.

It's important to note that not all devices support eSIM technology, and its availability may vary by region and carrier. To use eSIM functionality, you'll need a device that supports eSIMs and a mobile carrier or service provider that offers eSIM activation and management. The specific process for activating and managing eSIMs can also vary depending on the device and carrier.
