Roaming alternative
eSIM vs roaming: a simpler way to plan travel data.
Updated · By the eSIM2you team
International roaming can be convenient, but pricing and limits are not always easy to understand before a trip. A prepaid travel eSIM gives many travelers a simpler way to choose a clearer data plan that can be installed before departure.
Roaming depends on your home carrier
Your roaming cost, speed, and availability depend on your carrier and destination. That can make it hard to compare before a trip.
A travel eSIM is planned separately
A prepaid eSIM lets you choose a destination data package for the trip and keep your regular number available on supported dual-SIM phones.

Not always. Compare your carrier's roaming terms with the eSIM package for your destination before buying.
Can I use both roaming and an eSIM?
