An eSIM is a downloadable SIM card, and your family members probably already have eSIM-compatible devices.
When they install an eSIM for a country or region, they can connect to local networks. They’ll have prepaid data without needing Wi-Fi or paying roaming charges.
eSIM means ’embedded SIM card,’ and they make it easy and affordable to use your phone on vacation. No more roaming charges!
Instead of swapping SIMs on vacation or relying on expensive carrier travel plans, you and your family members can easily switch between SIMs with a few taps, and always connect to a local network.
Most newer phones already support eSIM technology, and it takes less than two minutes to install an eSIM.
Arranging for a carrier travel plan means you’ll typically pay $15-$20 per day to use your regular phone number and data plan on vacation.
If you choose to use an eSIM instead, you connect directly to a local network and get prepaid ‘local’ pricing (often $4.50/week). This is helpful if you want to manage your phone costs during a trip.
You can get everyone’s eSIMs in a single aloSIM account, or have everyone set up their own account. Just make sure everyone installs their own eSIM on their own device.
aloSIM is completely free to use. There’s no fee for creating an aloSIM account, but you will pay for each data package you purchase.
We created aloSIM to make it easier for families to have access to prepaid data when they travel, and avoid expensive carrier fees.
aloSIM members shop for data using the free aloSIM app (or alosim.com), and data packages start at $4.50 USD for a week of data in many locations.
aloSIM can be used for families of all sizes, whether it’s a parent setting up an eSIM on their child’s tablet so they have data for streaming Netflix, or one sibling inviting the other siblings (using their Refer & Earn discount code) so they can all stays connected on a family vacation.
We’ve also seen adult children create aloSIM accounts for their elderly parents and load it with aloCASH credit, making it easier for their parents to have international data on trips without having to fuss with entering credit card details.
aloSIM is also popular when teenage children are travelling or studying abroad. (Mom or Dad create the account and foot the bill, and their child has access to free mobile data anywhere they go.)
Prepaid data starting at just $4.50 USD per week
