eSIMs for Travel

SIM cards in a Noaks bag

I kept this stash of local SIM cards while traveling. There were many more in this bag after traveling for more than two years straight.

Fortunately this is no longer necessary, because of eSIM – and service providers like Airalo1, which I have been using lately.

It is incredibly easy to purchase an eSIM for your destination country and install it right from the app. Just activate it when you arrive and you are good to go.

Also, using a second (e)SIM is great, because you are still reachable via your usual number.
