eSIM providers launch roaming‑free data plans for travelers covering 100‑plus countries

Travelers can now avoid traditional roaming fees by using eSIM services that activate digital data plans instantly via QR codes. Companies such as eSimi and iRoamly offer flexible packages for short trips or extended stays, with coverage across more than 100 to 200 countries and regions. The technology lets users keep their primary SIM for calls while the eSIM provides high‑speed internet, simplifying connectivity for vacationers, business travelers, and digital‑nomad remote workers. Both providers claim the service works on most flagship smartphones released since 2020, and they partner with dozens of local telecom operators to deliver seamless network access without the need to visit a store or swap physical cards.
