Alt eSIM travel unlimited plans

Overview

An Opensignal study projects the global travel eSIM market to approach $5 billion by 2026, with adoption rates expected to double and about a quarter of international travelers preferring eSIM over traditional roaming. Travelers cite a need for control, simplicity and reliable connectivity, though network quality varies by region.

Alt eSIM has been rapidly expanding its low‑cost, short‑duration unlimited‑data offerings. It first launched a 5‑day unlimited‑data eSIM for Thailand at US$5.1, followed days later by a 7‑day unlimited‑data eSIM for Belgium priced at US$4.9. The Belgium plan, activated via QR code and compatible with recent eSIM‑enabled smartphones, continues to be promoted as a convenient alternative to physical SIM cards.

In August 2026 the company added a 20‑day unlimited‑data eSIM for India, priced at US$26.13, using the same QR‑code activation and broad device compatibility. These releases illustrate Alt eSIM’s strategy of rolling out single‑country and multi‑country data packages that let short‑term tourists and business travelers stay connected without swapping SIMs, aligning with the market growth identified by Opensignal.
