Using one Global eSIM across borders: tips
One Global eSIM covers 127 countries, so a trip from Tokyo to Istanbul to Madrid can run on one plan. A few habits keep it smooth.
- Install and switch on at home: Set up your eSIM before you fly, then keep data roaming on for that line at every border. Turn on data roaming shows you how.
- Apps that matter: In Japan, GO, Uber and DiDi cover rides, and LINE is the main messaging app. In Thailand, Grab and Bolt cover rides. In Turkey, social media can be slowed or restricted during major events, so have a backup way to message.
- Keep your home number: Your home number can stay on for calls and texts while your eSIM handles data. WhatsApp and your home number explains the setup.
- Top up mid-trip: Every plan can be topped up, so you can add data without buying another eSIM.
