Avoid roaming charges using your iPhone: eSimHolafly [Video]

When Apple announced the all-new iPhone 14 lineup, it decided to completely remove the physical SIM card tray from iPhones sold in the US. Many customers, especially international travellers, were angry that when traveling to another country, they bought a local sim card to avoid outrageous data roaming charges. But Holafly aims to alleviate this frustration by supporting over 130 destinations with their easy-to-use international eSIM solution that offers regular and unlimited data plans from 5 days up to 90 days.

Set up your international eSIM for iPhone:

eSIM technology has been introduced to the iPhone range, returning with the iPhone XS and iPhone XR. They have offered customers the option of having both a physical SIM card and a secondary eSIM card. Most customers in the US were unaware why they were still able to use a physical SIM card. But the addition of eSIM allows customers to have a secondary phone number and schedule on the same device. This made it extremely easy for travelers to switch between their home and travel lines.

Now that iPhones (in the US) only ship with eSIM support, a company like Holafly has become even more valuable. A Holafly eSIM allows you to keep your iPhone connected while traveling without being hit by ridiculous roaming charges. Simply switch to your secondary eSIM on your iPhone and you’ll be using a local eSIM from the country you’re visiting.

Some US-based carriers offer unlimited international roaming, but these are all limited by speed. This means that when you travel, you will be limited to 4G, 3G or even EDGE when it comes to your data speeds internationally. What makes Holafly unique is that it is truly unlimited with no hidden costs. So if you are planning a trip to the US, the US SIM it will give you unlimited data for five days up to 90 days, with prices ranging from $19.99 to $99.99 for the 90-day package.

Install the eSIM

eSIMs are the perfect travel companion. Unlike physical sims, you either have to go to a store, talk to an associate, and usually spend a lot of time there, or you may have ordered it online, but it still takes days to deliver. Purchasing, installing and using Holaflys eSIM was almost instantaneous. I went from receiving my welcome email to installing the eSIM in less than two minutes, meaning I was able to use my iPhone with data on a new network without needing a physical sim or without having to go into a shop.

They now offer a newer and more accessible option to install, activate and manage your eSIMS: the eSIM app, will allow you to install, activate and verify the details of your travel eSIMs in one place and verify the details on your floor.
