Europe on the go: How eSIMS are revolutionising travel in the digital age

Whether it is for work or pleasure, a trip around Europe in the modern age is common practice. For individuals from a country within the European Union, moving from place to place is so easy that it is hard not to take advantage. For those from outside of Europe, the initial trip is enough to convince you to see as many countries as possible now that you have made the initial effort.

Having access to the internet is now one of the most important necessities when travelling. What at one point in time may have been considered a luxury is now an integral part of daily life. This article has been put together to examine why it is so important, as well as to highlight the ideal solution for all your data roaming needs when travelling in Europe.

The Future of Travel is Now

While it may seem normal to us now, we are travelling in a way that even as little as two decades ago seemed like the stuff of science fiction. We use the internet for absolutely every element of travel. We conduct research online, we book plane, train and bus tickets online, we book accommodation online, tickets for museums and exhibits, we record our experiences and upload them to the cloud, find the local hotspot and then navigate our way there using the internet. Simply put, it is next to impossible to imagine travelling in the digital age without the internet.

While having data is not generally an issue when you are in the country you reside in, it can cause both unnecessary stress and additional charges when travelling. Thankfully, as is often the case with modern-day hindrances, there is a modern-day solution in the form of eSIMS. Let’s take a closer look at how exactly they work.

What is an eSIM?

 Firstly, an eSIM is not a physical object like your standard SIM card. Instead, it comes in the form of a QR code, after which you scan, you can begin using data roaming to browse the internet. The Holafly eSIM Europe package is available in over 32 European destinations, making it the ideal way to simplify your trip in an instant.

Your eSIM will provide you with unlimited data for the time period you have chosen. This removes the need to look for available WiFi and removes the stress and confusion regarding roaming charges. The eSIM will arrive to you via email instantly and takes less than five minutes to fully set up. As it is an eSIM, you can of course keep your original SIM card in your phone. It may sound surprising, but it really is that straightforward.

Why Should I Use an eSIM?

If the aforementioned information hasn’t already convinced you, let’s take a look at the additional benefits of using an eSIM. Holafly offers a large selection of data roaming packages, ranging anywhere from 5 days to 90 days, so regardless of the length of your trip, you can be sure that you will have peace of mind.

While the eSIM really is as easy to use as we say it is, Holafly also offers 24-hour customer support via chat. So, no matter where you are, you know that you will be able to reach someone if you have any queries and/or are experiencing any form of technical issues. When travelling, this is a service that is incredibly welcome. There is often no time to wait when in transit, so the fact that there is someone to offer assistance available 24/7 adds an extra level of security.

Finally, it is worth noting that the Europe eSIM only allows you to use mobile data, and therefore does not include a local phone number for mobile calls or messages. However, you will be able to make and receive calls using apps like WhatsApp, allowing you to stay in touch with both your fellow travellers, as well as friends and family back home.

The Bottom Line

 An eSIM is an ideal way to travel in Europe without having to worry about data roaming charges. It signals a new way of travelling in the modern age, and it truly opens up a new level of ease when on the go. Travelling is meant to be an experience like no other, an eSIM simply removes the hassle and allows you to make the most of it.
