About this app

With an eSIM from Airalo, get connected the moment you arrive at your destination, without worrying about roaming fees, SIM card hunting, or untrustworthy airport wifi.

Airalo is the world’s first and largest eSIM marketplace. Browse eSIMs in 200+ destinations — including Unlimited data packages in over 120+ destinations.

What’s an eSIM?

An eSIM is a digital SIM built right into your phone. No physical card, no fuss. Browse data packages, buy, install, and get online — all directly from the app.

Choose from any one of Airalo’s eSIM plans and packages:
- Local eSIMs for single-country trips, starting from just $4 USD
- Regional eSIMs for multi-country adventures across Europe, Asia, Latin America, and more
- Global eSIMs covering 160+ countries in one install — with data, calls, and texts
- Unlimited eSIMs for when you want peace of mind without having to worry about your data usage

How it works (it's really this easy)
1. Install the Airalo app
2. Choose your eSIM plan based on your travel needs (location, fixed GB or unlimited data, number of days)
3. Buy your eSIM
4. Install the eSIM directly on the Airalo app
5. Turn on your eSIM and get data as soon as you arrive in your new destination

Track your usage in real time, manage multiple eSIMs in one place, and top up on the fly — because plans change, and we help you adapt to them.

PS: If your device supports keeping two lines active at the same time, your original SIM can stay active, so you never miss a call or a 2FA code from home. Just make sure Mobile Data and Roaming are strictly assigned to your Airalo eSIM to prevent unexpected charges from your domestic carrier.

Why choose Airalo for your eSIM?
- Our core values are: Empathy, Ownership, Innovation, Trust, Growth, and Customer First. We embody these values in everything we do: from our work culture to how we treat our customers. We give back, whether it’s donating to disaster relief funds or to other causes that matter, worldwide.
- We are fully transparent about our product, including the fair usage policy and data cap for our Unlimited data packages.
- Over 30 million travelers trust us to keep them connected across 200+ destinations.

Why travelers love Airalo:
- Quick and efficient multi-lingual customer support
- A wide range of flexible and affordable eSIM plans across destinations, timeframes, and data packages
- Unlimited eSIM data packages with no hotspot limit
- No hidden fees or surprise charges
- eSIM options for calls, text, and phone numbers
- Easy top-up

FAQs

Can I use my SIM card at the same time as an eSIM?
- Yes, most devices allow you to use multiple SIMs and/or eSIMs simultaneously. You can keep your primary line active to receive text messages, calls, and 2FA authentication (just remember that these will be subject to roaming fees).

Do Airalo eSIMs come with phone numbers?
- Yes, we offer both options. Some of our eSIMs come with a phone number that includes data, calls, and texts, while others are data-only packages designed purely for internet connectivity. You can easily check which features are included in the plan's details before purchasing.

Can I make phone calls and send text messages with an Airalo eSIM?
- Yes, if you choose an eSIM that specifically includes data, calls, and texts. For data-only eSIMs, you won’t be able to make traditional phone calls or send SMS, but you can still use internet-based apps like WhatsApp to stay in touch seamlessly.

I love how easy it was to install and setup. I did the set up at the airport before flying off and was connected the moment at I landed at my destination. Only setback was that it tends to get disconnected towards the end and I needed to find free WiFi to get it reconnected. I'll use it again for my next trip.

I have used Airalo during my travels in SE Asia and it was very easy to install and use. Connection is almost instant upon network availability. Coverage is mostly great depending on the local network they are connected to. And packages are well-priced (cheaper than my network's data roaming charges). Hope you can get more networks for more coverage.

Installation remains a pain with too verbose and confusing instructions (at least for my Samsung S24). It worked OK for a recent trip to Botswana, but we couldn't get it to work for Namibia (we tried multiple times). If you're from South Africa, just use data roaming. In Namibia it is also easy to just buy a SIM card at a shop/kiosk. Not sure I'll use this app again; I don't like paying for something and not getting anything for it.
