“Unexpected data charges, please disappear!
We live in a world where borders are invisible, but barriers manifest themselves in various day-to-day situations with differing impacts. In this global village (a concept introduced by philosopher Marshall McLuhan in the 1960s), travel is frequent, whether for work or leisure, and activating roaming has traditionally been the only way to stay connected and reachable.
This solution, while not requiring any additional effort for activation, often results in unexpectedly high bills, particularly for international trips outside the European Union. If it hasn’t happened to you yet, you probably know someone who has returned home after a carefree trip, only to receive a hefty bill from their service provider.
But is this a necessary cost that we are willing to pay for constant connectivity, regardless of location?
Not at all.
And what if, in addition to avoiding bill surprises, we could save up to 90% on services without compromising their quality?
That would be ideal.
The good news is that surprise billing can easily be avoided without the need for travel, waiting lines, or other bureaucracies, all with a highly competitive value compared to fixed roaming. This can be achieved through the advance purchase of personalized data packages, allowing internet access anywhere in the world in a fully digital, fast, and simple way.
eSIM packages are here to stay. Currently, over 35% of existing smartphones support eSIM, and over 70% of new models come equipped with it (many with dual SIM support: physical + eSIM). This trend reflects the advantages of this option, which extend far beyond economic savings, reaching up to 90% savings in non-EU countries. Being prepaid packages, there are no additional charges. If you’re still not convinced, look at the facts. In countries like Switzerland, Morocco, and Japan, where roaming can cost about €50/GB, an eSIM card reduces this to just €3 per GB.
Besides the significant cost advantage, the entire acquisition and installation process is completely digital and nearly automatic, allowing more time for what truly matters.
Without physical cards, it’s a more convenient and eco-friendly option, as it does not use plastic or paper.
It remains the most effective solution, offering more data and the ability to keep your original number, usable on different devices simultaneously.
Of course, it’s not always necessary, especially for travel within the European Union, but better safe than sorry, and having more data without unexpected charges is certainly desirable.”
