One eSIM for the whole trip

Once you land, data does the heavy lifting. Google Maps gets you to your hotel, WhatsApp keeps family in the loop, and ride-hailing changes with the map — Grab in Thailand and Vietnam, Uber in the US and UK. Cross a border and the eSIM reconnects on its own. No SIM swapping, no kiosk hunting.

Buy online before you fly and the install link and QR code land in your email within minutes. Tap the link once and your phone sets the eSIM up itself — or scan the QR code if you prefer — and the same eSIM for global travel keeps working across every covered country on your route. No store visits, no paperwork.

Staying connected in Global

Practical advice for using mobile data in Global.

1

One eSIM across every border

Riding the rails from Paris to Zurich, or flying Bangkok to Singapore to Bali? Your data reconnects automatically in each covered country. Leave the eSIM active and skip the airport SIM kiosks entirely.

2

Check the coverage list against your route

The global coverage options on this page differ in a handful of countries. Open the country list, tick off every stop on your itinerary — including layovers you plan to leave the airport for — and pick the list that covers them all.

3

Download offline maps for remote legs

Signal thins out on safari drives in Kenya and Tanzania and across Patagonia in Chile and Argentina. Save Google Maps offline areas over hotel Wi-Fi before heading out, then navigate without burning data.

4

Match ride apps to the region

Grab rules Southeast Asia — Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines — while Uber covers the US, UK, and Latin America. With data on arrival, you can book a car curbside instead of negotiating taxi fares.

5

Share data on group trips

Turn on your phone's hotspot and one global eSIM keeps the whole family's tablets and laptops online on a train from Amsterdam to Berlin. Watch the balance — streaming for four adds up fast.
