Used Airalo for travel in India in January. Incredibly easy to install and utilize while travelling. My recommendation, buy more data than you think you'll need. This is a brilliant solution to international travel.
Love the continuing education that I get from you. And having Renz endorse the product, having already used it, says good things for it to me.
Love Airalo. Used them last year whne travelling across Europe. Setup both Android and iPhone and it was simple and just worked. Been telling everyone about it since!
This will probably be nowhere near your most popular videos, but this is an incredibly useful one. Up and people get to travel more. It will be very nice to have this for reference.
I also appreciate the fact that you showed us how to do it in basically real time
Great Video. Honestly I saw a bunch of videos but none were as complete as this one. Really answered how it's actually setup and some of the limitations.
Great video Juan, as always having interesting conversations. Let me add to it: we Latinos are very fortunate with the entire data roaming conversation, to the point where we can find out curious why you guys even worry about roaming fees. Most carriers offer free roaming that simply consumes data from your monthly plan, while connected in other countries. My personal example: I travel through Latin and North America monthly for work,, and have really free roaming on my $19/mo plan with Movistar from Costa Rica. This lets me use my single SIM (or eSIM) in all the countries I go to. The only caveat is that it consumes my 18Gb of available data, but even after it runs out it's still unlimited at 256kbps (enough for text messaging anyway). Really makes you think that services like Airalo will only get cheaper in the future
This ain't that bad, Juan! Not bad at all!
I will consider this whenever I travel abroad, not bad at all, especially billing only starts once it's connected to THAT network. This is great.
Been using Airalo for the last year. I love the convenience.
This video helped me depriortize international roaming when picking a phone plan in the US. Ended up getting visible (instead of fi) which is working great and currently visiting turkey and used airalo and installing the esim was a brease. Kept my visible call and text on and they are still active when i connect to wifi. Quite a nice solution!
Thank you Juan. This video is so timely for me as I'll be traveling Europe soon.
Happy I could help! I've been using this a LOT on my review devices now.
This was a super helpful vlod (tipped from your Twitter) since my friend is about to leave for the EU. I'll give them your referral code to use. And more friends and fam travelling to Asian and EU this summer.
Awesome video.
Greetings from Sunny Cape Town South Africa. Heading to Italy in 2 weeks. Going to try install today.
Airalo is solid. Thanks for the video.
Very good demonstration. Love it
I'd been looking at Ubigi and Holafly. This already looks better than both of them. Thanks for the very informative video, as always.
I recently saw this and cant wait to try it when I go to mexico in a few months, hope it works out
Exceptional explanation and breakdown of the Airalo product!
Having used Airalo last year in Europe I can also confirm how easy it was to install and use. Works well on iPhone and Android. I understand newer iPhones can accept up to 8 esim just in case you are travelling across multiple borders! Very useful video
Stupid question do I turn my phone data off or the roaming mode when I have my esim card?
I used airalo while I was in Finland last month and it worked great! I had my hesitations about it because it did seem a tad complicated but it was pretty easy, and worked great.
Looks great I will try out next time overseas
Hmm...this is a nice usage case. Good niche need for their product to fill.
This is cool.
Nice one! 👍
Can I choose the 2gb/15 day plan if I just want to use it for 5 days? It's a better value than the 1gb/7 day option. There isn't a daily data limit right?
Thanks
can i purchase airalo even before my travel to another country? do i need to remove my physical sim when i arrive in to country of destination or just turn on the data icon in my phone? thanks
Great company. Tried to get one for Singapore, all esims out of stock. Not sure how that happens with esims.
Great to know if i travel in the US, thanks
I live in Canada and my cell provider charges 12/day for roaming if I cross the border.
I am heading to the USA next week which I can get 3GB of data for 11 dollars and it’s valid for 30 days. UK in April so I found out about Airalo and I am so happy I did. I was worried about getting a SIM card at the airport when I already have so much to think about. I only need the SIM card for 18days.
Great video! I’m traveling to Italy later this year and this will be very helpful! Thanks. My only problem is that I have no idea how much data I need. Any suggests on how to estimate?
Honestly, the best way is to just check your home data usage at the end of the month, and then add a pad for doing more vacation-y things.
Bro, thanks for the detailed vid,
Hiw many sims can my fold3 accept.
I already have one active and looks like sim2 is not active.
I wanted to add another countries esim and get rid of the physical sim.
Is it possible.?
Hey Juan, off topic. what are your thoughts on the Nothing phone?
Yes like you said. We paid our operator Usa roaming and got no service in Usa. ( T mobil Usa). App is super and e-sim installing is done automatically. So Airalo save the day.
When I was testing TMobile, I used 15 gigs doing speed tests while I was traveling in my area.
Yeah. I burned up the data in this video in a day LOL.
@@SomeGadgetGuy 😂😂😂😂
Are there any services out there that offer eSims that give you an actual local phone number for the country you are visiting, so people in that country can give you a call without using a social media app? For example, in Korea, you have to have a local Korean phone number to make reservations at a restaurant, or to use apps to order take-out. Some eSims give you a local number, but they are registered as a data number only in the country, not text and talk. It can not be used for such things as I mentioned.
Do you think that I could add an eSim to my Asus Chromebook? Can I use my phone as a hotspot while using the eSim data?
This video made it look so easy! Then watched the Airalo tutorial for install and it’s extremely confusing! Numerous more steps than in this video. It also mentions to see let cellular data or mobile data. What’s the difference? 🤷♀️
i don't know what wrong i did but it didn't work on my iphone 13 in france 😢😢 so please make step by step set up video
05:06 minutes into this video, 'phone is shown with what seems to be a very good phone-protector. Can you tell me which brand/model or where one can buy this phone-protector? Many thanks
Using iphone 14 max pro. Any info on if I can use an e-sim, switch to another e-sim for a few days, then go back to the original one? I am going to be traveling to the UK for 5 weeks. I'll get a 30day esim. About 2 weeks into using my UK esim, I'll be going to Scotland for a week. So i'll need to get the esim for Scotland for those 5 days. Then when I am back in the UK for the remainder of my trip, I'll go back to the esim for the UK. So my question is, will that UK esim still be valid and usable even though I stopped using it for a week? Hope that makes sense. Thanks !
What camera did you use for that airplane window shot at 00:46? Looks so crispy and the colors are nice. 😀
Xperia 1IV. It's a video CHAMP.
Do you need to turn off my default carrier once im in a different country so that it doesnt charge me for intl/roaming?
Thank you for sharing the detail Juan. I will be travelling to the USA in the near future and want to try the eSim option for the trip instead of the traditional way to buy a SIM card at the local carriers. Question for you, for a peace of mind to avoid being charged roaming by my home country cellular carrier, should I remove the SIM card entirely while I am in the USA? I am afraid I may accidentally forget to keep "Airplane Mode" on while I am in the States. What is your thought?
It's not a bad plan. Every phone is a little different, so going solely with the travel sim SHOULD be a little safer 👍
I’m going to the Philippines dose it work there? And how much should I get for a month not sure mb 1 g don’t know what size they are thanks
Have a question if you esim has a number installed on it can you install another this on it or it will erase that number
Us mobile seems better pricing though may depend on where you're going and how much actually need
Do they provide data per day or do they just provide 2gb data in total for 15days?
I must have to say what a lovely voice you have!!! 💖💖💖
I’m checking this option but I don’t know how much gb to buy if I’m going to use it for some Google search and sometimes for Waze in a 5 week trip.
I realize that at some point I’ll have to reloaded it but how much data do you recommend for the first 4 weeks?
Thank you so much!!! 💖💖💖
It's the tough part, you probably just need to buy based on length of visit. The data PROBABLY won't matter as much, for daily communication. The more you use streaming or cloud services, the faster you'll nuke that data, but topping up more data isn't too bad.
@@SomeGadgetGuy Thank you!! 💖💖💖
So do I turn my phone data off and the roaming feature, when using the app
Is this something you can use along with your current phone plan via dual eSIM?
If phone service is off and it appears SOS can I purchase and still use eSIM?
Airalo has a good price. And used it when I went to Japan
Did you experience any issues when using Airalo in Japan?
@@jacquelineruiz3018 I recently was in Japan and use it myself. Worked amazing! 5 Stars!
@@nanachill Gee thanks, mister! 👍🏽 you’ve convinced me!
@@nanachill Glad to hear that! I'm heading to Japan soon and wanted to know if the esim worked well over there
I hope they keep sim and storage trays.
Quick question: Is it better to buy and activate the Esim right before you leave your home country or wait until you arrive in your target county and activate the Esim there?
Just went through this and chose to buy and activate/install right before departure. Airalo needs a stable connection to get things setup so best to do in a more controlled environment. Worked out great and i was connected before our plane parked at the terminal.
Aye bro, I forgot to ask
Do MVNO's pay the MNO's for data to be used or do they pay them for the data that has been used (and I'm talking about the MVNO's that only use the towers as in they only need the RAN)
No idea. I'd imagine they pay for data used even if they charge for the "potential" data TO be used.
@@SomeGadgetGuy Ty
I guess it depends on the agreement
I miss when TMobile had unlimited roaming internal. I think I got 3g or 4g speeds in Italy with a Galaxy S7 edge. I just opened a line with them only for this. Was less than $100 which was cheap compared to some roaming plans that charge you per kb...
This was 2016 though
Yeah. That was A HUGE perk for traveling.
Isn't this still a thing? My dad has a T-Mobile line that has "unlimited 2g roaming in 200+ countries" and he uses it sometimes
As with all other esim purchase videos, the exact method to pay is not covered.
Can you use it when u have another carrier ?? Just have to turn off main carrier to use this carrier
Depends on the phone, but yes. That's how it should work on a dual sim device.
I haven’t used this international but it seems like 1g for 7 days doesn’t seem like a lot
It's not. I think of that as an "up to seven days" solution. Like maybe you're out for a weekender. It's practical, but a full FULL week, you'd probably step up to the next level.
Why don't they have a talk n text option?
The rubber meets the road with whether it works and how fast. Just showing these things for more than 5 seconds would have been better
Why did you cover up that carrier name? Is it because Airalo doesn't want you to know that you will get horrible pings and not true local sim cards? As can be seen by you having to enable data roaming on the "local" SIM and that speedtest with a ping of 160ms!! They just buy whatever the cheapest sim is, like from Malaysia for example that lets you connect in the country you want to resulting in horrible pings and wrong geolocation because all traffic gets routed through the native SIM country.
Thank you for your comment. Forewarning is fore armed. Buyer beware.

eMicro Sd cards, eHeadphone Jack, etc
You are currently using the eSim data. But would like to recieve text on your real phone number. How easy is it to toggle back and forth?
Depends on the phone? If you're trying to avoid roaming charges, it's kinda like throwing one sim into airplane mode.
When using Airalo (or any other eSIM provider) I wonder if somebody can reach me using my carrier home telephone number assuming that the caller doesn't have any social media application installed.
I saw that you can receive calls using your normal SIM and everything else through ESIM.
You may be charged for international calls though.
Can I install the esim when I'm currently in my country? When I arrive in the country I'm going to and turn on data does it automatically connect?
You actually have to install and activate prior to your trip. Once this is done, you can use your phone like nothing has changed when you're in a different country. In my case, I forwarded my regular phone calls to google voice. No problem using it in Hong Kong, Taipei, Korea and Philippines.
@@annlaborte7881you don't buy you can..You just need wifi to activate.
So your using same us phone number? Or do they give me a Philippines phone number?
Newbie question: are my iPhone apps still on my phone when I switch to eSIM? I thought your phone's brains were in the SIM card, such that when you remove it, so goes all of your apps. I'd like to switch to an eSIM in Italy and still use my navigation, airline, hotel, and banking apps securely. Securely is key!
Oh! Totally fair question. Your user data (like contacts) used to be on the card, but on modern smartphones that info lives on the phone, not the sim.
@@SomeGadgetGuy will me 2-factor authentication process still work when I am using an eSIM? I have several account apps that I need to access while traveling internationally; they require verification through text messaging to my regular phone number.
Do I turn my roaming data off when I Europe when using the esim card
I just used Airalo for the first time and I have to be honest, my experience was mixed. I definitely liked the ease of obtaining the eSIM and the reduced costs but the pain points were many. So much so, I'm not sure I would go this route again.
eSim has a WAYS to go to replace the eases of using a physical sim. I kinda wish we weren't pushing this as the next step, because it's mostly just going to be a pain point for consumers, and make switching carriers more complicated.
More details please: Type of esim phone 🍎 or android?
Which country or countries did use the esim?
More information on actual problems and your possible work arounds.
@@SomeGadgetGuy Agreed, ESIM only is my main issue with the newest USA iPhones ( 14+ ) if your smartphone doesn't work I can remove my sim card and place it in my backup smartphone.
can you tether another phone and share data
Still cheaper to buy a local SIM if your phone supports it.
If I buy esim I get local number
Is it work with all phone models?
Only phones that support esim, but I haven't found any phones not work so far. I'm using it a lot now for review devices.
@SomeGadgetGuy Some phone models don't support e sim and my phone is one of them so I'm hopeless
10:17 pun intended?
😁
I don't like esim it is my business if I have 3 phones I should be able to swap Sims without calling in or paying a fee to do so.
I agree. I think this is just going to be used as a way to make switching phones and changing carriers more difficult. It's an anti-consumer move for our home region phones.
@SomeGadgetGuy yeah which is a horrible move. Pretty soon buy a $1000 phone wait 3 months later for it to arrive in the mail way things are going.
@SomeGadgetGuy, I used to have metro pcs and the customer service on the phone told me that they lock the sim card to the device that is being on the network , they told me that everytime you wanna take the sim card out and put it in another phone you have to call customer service even with the physical sim card, basically this is what the e-sims are already doing it. By putting the metro pcs sim card in another device, the phone calls and mobile data don't work, you are required to call the customer service with metro pcs to swap between phones with there physical sim cards even when use your own unlock phone with metro pcs. I hope it does not come to the point that the carriers lock the e-sim to the carrier, for example if someone was using Verizon and Verizon decided that they want to lock the e-sim because they signed up for service and to unlock there phone, they would need to be locked into the account for 3 years now instead of 2 like it used to be or the other alternative would to be buying the phone outright even if the phone cost $1,000 plus tax and fees than charge a fee to unlock the e-sim. It's why I don't sign up for post paid service anymore because the post paid service changed from 2 years to 3 years and there are a bunch of fees that and taxes that the carrier puts on there customers.
Firstest?
Lmao. It's been a long week. I'll se myself out only after I finish the video. Lmao.
Nailed it 😁
This video makes it seem easy until you have to access data . Poor contact support, go with another esim . Airalo is terrible
are you able to use WhatsApp on the phone with Airalo?
Shouldn't be any restriction on data based messaging apps.
Code not working
Blergh. Maybe try from this link?
ref.airalo.com/x3mA
Google Fi works better for me.
Is Google Fi any good? I'm curious about its cell and customer service.
10 USD per day?! that's just robbery.
Try $16/day in Canada. $10 would be a deal.
Is is way too expensive. You are way better buying a local sim for the country you are visiting.
Why are you giving Apple credit for this.
This has been around for years.
Typical Apple shill.
We could work on your listening comprehension...
@@SomeGadgetGuy I comprehend that most of you reviewers in RUclips are incapable of reviewing anything without praising Apple. I really do.
I'm gonna go ahead and mute you now, I just need you to know that accusing me of being an Apple shill, when the mention of this move was a joke against Apple, means you're really bad at understanding. And I'm gonna have a fun chuckle about this on my discord. 👍
esim holafly it's the best in the market 😉
