eSIM.net hit the road with world’s first global prepaid eSIM plan with voice and data

Europe’s first eSIM online marketplace, eSIM.net, has announced the world’s first global prepaid eSIM plan supporting all services including voice, data and SMS in all countries. This enables individuals and businesses to purchase prepaid international mobile plans without the need for a physical SIM card.

eSIM.net’s customers bypass traditional roaming charges by utilising existing eSIM technology to seamlessly access mobile networks in over 200 countries across the world. Coming with a +44 UK mobile number, calls can be made and received on this and the user can still receive calls on their regular number wherever they may be in the world.

An eSIM, or Embedded SIM, is a small chip built inside a phone that can be considered a virtual SIM card slot. It can be used concurrently with an existing physical SIM card, allowing for separate, but simultaneous mobile plans on one device. Unlike the traditional SIM card, however, global eSIM plans are not locked to one carrier and allow for users to switch to local providers as they travel, receiving significantly reduced data rates.

eSIM technology is still developing, but there has been huge progress in the past few years, with giants like Apple, Google and Samsung incorporating this functionality into their phones and wearables. To date, eSIM plans have been data only, but eSIM.net recognised the need for voice services, as well as a mobile number to receive SMS. By building their online store, eSIM.net has made this technology accessible to the general public. There is no need to keep swapping SIM cards in and out when you travel. There’s no need to rely on Wi-Fi. You can have two numbers and two mobile plans; with the eSIM package ensuring you’re not paying through the roof for roaming charges while overseas.

eSIM.net’s various international mobile packages can be purchased online and are delivered in the form of a QR code. Beginning at $4.99 for a 1GB data bundle and $10 for a prepaid voice, SMS and data plan, the packages are compatible with an ever-growing range of carriers, as well as mobile and tablet devices. This includes the iPhone 10 range of XS, XS Max and XR, iPhone 11 with an update to iOS 13.1.3, the Android Google Pixel 3, 3a and 4, and Samsung’s S20 series. Customers are able to check the price of voice, SMS and data rates by visiting eSIM.net’s Rate Calculator, and view their eSIM bundle and prepaid balance by using the short-code *187#.
