Long-term travelers and digital nomads have to find ways to find a local and regional SIM when they travel. Sometimes, it’s quite easy. But some other times, it can get challenging. When your phone only supports one SIM card, you got to choose or worst, you have to start swapping SIM card to use your banking app. Ew. Been there, done that.

This is where Airalo comes in. Imagine if you could have an eSIM instead. You could top up anywhere, anytime without having to find a kiosk at the airport, without having to swap your SIM card. Airalo and eSIM make your life easy!

In this post, I’ll give you more details on what is an eSIM and how Airalo can suit your needs. There’s a catch – eSIM isn’t supported for all the phones yet – so keep reading to learn more about it.

What devices support eSIM?

As stated previously, an eSIM is already built into phones so you don’t need to install anything new into your device. The downside to this is that while eSIMs are now implemented into new devices, they are unable to service older phone models for the time being.

Phones are not the only thing that can take advantage of the eSIM for travel. Tablets and laptop computers are also being built with an eSIM chip installed which will make it really easy to work from anywhere and will add to the freedom that this lifestyle offers!

Another thing to note when trying to figure out if your device is compatible or not is where you have purchased it. Different countries often have different makes of the same device due to restrictions of that country.

What is Airalo?

Airalo is an eSIM store made to cater to the world traveler in all of us. They support eSIMs in over 100 countries all over the world and have made it easy for you to access data plans no matter where you are.

The creators of this first-ever eSIM store are travelers themselves so they understand the struggles of staying connected while in a foreign land. They strive to connect their customers with the best local rates and options so that you can find a package that is perfect for your needs.

If you haven’t arrived at your new destination yet, just got off the plane, or are there already and needing a better data plan; you can log into your Airalo profile to purchase a plan that will start working immediately.

What are the benefits of using Airalo?

There are three main things that we all need to take care of as soon as we get off the plane. Get through and survive the typically long immigration queues, exchange or withdraw money, and purchase and connect a travel sim.

One of the best things about having an account with Airalo and using their global SIM is the convenience. Airalo takes aways all the stress that comes with trying to buy a SIM when arriving at your destination country.

With Airalo, you can connect to the local network as soon as the pilot turns that seatbelt sign off. No more hoping and struggling to connect to the airport’s free wifi. You are also able to store multiple eSIMs in your Airalo account and effortlessly change between them using the Airalo App.
