I know a lot of people will still be wondering if you still need an eSIM<\/a> or a physical SIM. So let me tell you a story before we figure out what is the best eSIM for travelling.<\/p>\n

In this post, I talk about the eSIM\u2019s I have used, compare the top 3 and list out both the pros and cons of having each of them as well as give the best recommendations for the best eSIM plans for travel.<\/p>\n

But just a heads up, in my opinion, the best one is Holafly<\/a>, and you can use my code \u2018TRAVELBOOKSFOOD\u2019 for a discount on your purchase.<\/p>\n

Best eSIM for Travelling Internationally <\/span><\/h2>\n

My trips are usually between 4 to 6 weeks and I usually go to multiple countries on a single trips. This is to reduce costs of travelling to that particular region as well as visa related issues.<\/p>\n

Now a few years ago, I was travelling in the Balkans<\/a> and I was spending around 5-7 days in each of the countries.<\/p>\n

But this was a time before eSIM\u2019s were popular. Which meant that I had to buy physical local SIM\u2019s in each of these countries and I had to swap them out physically every time I entered a new country.<\/p>\n

Which meant that I had to stand in a queue at the airport once I landed, buy them, then take out the old SIM and then put a new local SIM of that country.<\/p>\n

Let me tell you it was a hassle and I still have around 5-6 different physical SIMs from that trip.<\/p>\n

Since then for every trip, I have used eSIMs like Holafly, Airalo and now I break up on what are some of the best eSIMs for travelling.<\/p>\n

What is an eSIM?<\/span><\/h3>\n

I know people in India are still not familiar with the concept of an eSIM unless you are a traveller. But many phone companies don\u2019t even provide a physical SIM tray for their latest models in the US anymore.<\/p>\n

It literally translates to Embedded SIM. Which means that you no longer require a physical SIM.<\/p>\n

You just need to purchase your eSIM, either via a website or install the company\u2019s app. Choose the country and plan you want, make the payment, install the eSIM in minutes, and start using the minute you land in a new country.<\/p>\n

And as a frequent traveller and an entrepreneur who is on the road for 150 days every year and works mostly online, I am someone who needs good internet connectivity on the go without worrying about the intricacies of getting a physical SIM card every time I travel outside my country.<\/p>\n

What are the criteria for deciding which is the best eSIM app for travel?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Different eSIM companies cater to different set of clientele and you need to keep the below things in mind while choosing the best eSIM card for travel:<\/p>\n
