How to Stay Connected While Travelling: The Complete Guide
Everything you need to know about staying connected overseas. From travel eSIMs to data-saving tips, roaming alternatives, and multi-country connectivity.
We’re thrilled to announce some major updates to our roaming bundles and data options that will greatly enhance your connectivity and experience while traveling. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s new!
Support for the 5G network
Most of our bundles in major destinations will now connect to the 5G network when it is available. We will be providing a service map and carrier information for all bundles in the coming weeks.
Consolidation of Roaming Destinations
In our ongoing effort to streamline our services and provide more value, we’ve updated our roaming bundles. Now, most bundles will only offer data services in a single country. However, we've significantly improved our regional bundles to cover more countries and offer you more flexibility.
Introducing New Region Bundles
Our new regional bundles are designed to cater to your travel needs across the globe:
- Asia Plus Bundle: Previously including Southeast Asia, now expanded to also encompass South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macao.
- Middle East Plus Bundle: The revamped Middle East bundle now includes all previous destinations plus Egypt and Morocco.
- Oceania Bundle: Our Oceania bundle provides data in both New Zealand and Australia.
- Africa Bundle: Our new Africa regional bundle will keep you connected in many of Africa's major travel destinations.
- South America: Our South America regional bundle now also includes Mexico.
- North America: Stay connected across Canada, the United States and Mexico.
- Europe & UK Bundle: Stay connected across 35 European countries at an affordable rate.
Country-Specific New Bundles
To further enhance your travel experience, we're introducing specific bundles for Egypt, France, Ireland, Italy, Macao, Malaysia, Mexico, Sweden, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the Philippines.

Flexible Data Options
We understand that data needs vary, which is why we're now offering new data options:
- 2GB for 15 days: Perfect for short trips or light data users.
- 50GB for 30 days: Ideal for longer stays or heavy data usage.
All of our previous data options are still available and have also been extended to bundles that previously did not offer them. Every bundle now supports atleast upto 20GB data options, with the new 50GB option being available for the majority of our bundles.
Looking Ahead: Unlimited Data Bundles
We're excited to let you know that in our next major update, we will introduce unlimited data bundles. I mentioned this in our roadmap a few months back and it is just about ready to launch. Stay tuned for unlimited possibilities!
We Want To Hear From You
Your feedback is crucial to us. We are always looking to expand our offerings and would love to hear your suggestions for additional destinations or features.
Stay connected, and as always, safe travels!
