Trusted Partner — Global eSIMCellular data in 200+ countries — without swapping SIM cards
Airalo is the global eSIM marketplace expats and frequent travelers use to stay connected the moment they land. Buy a country-specific or regional data plan, install via eSIM in 60 seconds, and start using local cellular data — no SIM card swap, no roaming charges.
Browse Airalo eSIMs →On the day you land in your new country, before you’ve set up local cell service, you still need data — for the Uber, the Google Maps walk to your Airbnb, the WhatsApp message to your Airbnb host. Airalo solves that with eSIMs you buy ahead of time and activate in 60 seconds. They cover 200+ countries with regional and country-specific data plans starting at a few dollars. Useful permanently if you travel often, or temporarily as your bridge until you get a local SIM.

When eSIM beats getting a local SIM
Get an Airalo eSIM if your phone supports eSIM (most iPhone XS+ and Google Pixel 3+ do) and you need data within hours of landing. Skip Airalo and go to a local carrier shop only if you’re staying long-term and want a local phone number for things like bank verification. Many expats use both: a local SIM for permanent use and Airalo as their global travel backup.
