Airalo eSIM Card: Stay Connected While Travelling Without Roaming (USD 3 Code)

An option is now available for travelers who want data abroad: Airalo eSIM cards.

With the emergence of smartphones offering the possibility of having a virtual SIM card, known as an eSIM card, it’s now easier to get a local data plan. And avoid paying roaming charges to your Canadian, French or Belgian operator.

This complements well the option of free Wi-Fi everywhere thanks to credit cards and VPN for travelers.

From April 1 to April 30, 2024, a promotion is available on the purchase of an Airalo eSIM card:

• 15% discount on an eSIM card for new customers (promo code: APR15)
• 10% discount on an eSIM card for customers who already have an account (promo code: APR10)

If you’re a new user, you can also get 3 USD by using the Milesopedia link with the code mentioned below. It’s up to you to do the sums and see if the 15% offer is more advantageous than USD 3 in Airmoney to be used for a future purchase.

If you have a trip starting after January 1, you can still take advantage of this offer and buy your eSIM card in advance, since the period for which you buy it only starts when you activate the eSIM card.

Here are the main terms of the offer:

• The promotion cannot be combined with any other offer and can only be used once.
• Limited quantity of 1,000 promo codes, so offer may run out before the end of the month
• The maximum value of the discount is 15 USD

Airalo offers 3 types of eSIM cards:

• Airalo local eSIM card
• Airalo Regional eSIM card
• Airalo Global eSIM Card

The local Airalo eSIM card is the most common: it allows you to obtain a data package in the country in which you are traveling.

Airalo offers packages in over 190 countries and regions.

For example, here are the prices of Airalo eSIM data plans for Portugal, offered by two virtual operators: MEO and Fofo Mobil.

As you can see, you’ll need to be strategic in your choice of Airalo eSIM card, both in terms of the length of your trip and the amount of data you’ll need.

The Airalo regional eSIM card is designed for travelers to different countries. For example, if you’re planning to visit Portugal, Italy and the UK, it’s better to opt for a regional Airalo eSIM rather than a local Airalo eSIM.

For example, here are the rates for Airalo eSIM packages for Europe, offered by virtual operator Eurolink and covering 39 countries:

Airalo offers seven regional eSIMs:

• Africa
• North America
• Latin America
• Asia
• Europe
• Caribbean
• Middle East and North Africa

The Airalo global eSIM card is designed for frequent travelers to different parts of the world!

For example, if you’re planning to visit Europe and then Asia, it may be more interesting to opt for a global Airalo eSIM rather than a local or regional Airalo eSIM. This Airalo eSIM covers 130 countries. The following packages are available:

As explained in the section above, a new range of global Airalo eSIMs allows you to make calls and send text messages. The limits are rather low, but still practical in an emergency.

For the moment, the only local eSIMs also offering calls and text messages are those for the Maldives and Thailand.

As you will have noted, all Airalo eSIM cards are sold in US dollars. It will therefore be useful to have a credit card with no conversion fees to pay for your Airalo eSIM.

Airalo accepts payment by American Express, Mastercard and Visa credit cards, as well as PayPal.

Here are the three best no-conversion-fee credit cards in Canada:

The Airalo eSIM card is designed for travelers who need data on their smartphones and other devices. It’s a solution that lets you get up and running quickly at your destination, without having to buy a local SIM card at the airport in a language you don’t necessarily understand.

However, you won’t have access to a local telephone line. You’ll need to use third-party applications like Skype or Google Voice to make calls via your data plan once you reach your destination.
