Who hasn't dreamed at some point in their life of traveling to an island and soaking up the sun, sand, and crystal-clear waters we've seen so often on television? Destinations like Bali, Hawaii, and the Caribbean are just a few of the hundreds of destinations that come to mind and are well worth a visit you'll never forget.
However, unlike other destinations, on these paradise islands, we find a common denominator that characterizes most of them: the lack of stable mobile connectivity with operators that offer traditional international roaming. Furthermore, even if coverage is available, the cost of each connection is extremely high, which can compromise our travel budget. And this is where eSIMs have become the perfect solution for travelers.
What are the typical roaming costs for an island vacation?
Roaming charges generally include a small amount of gigabytes in the countries surrounding us. However, this does not apply to islands like those mentioned above, where charges for each mobile connection are very high.
A simple connection to send a photo to our family WhatsApp group, check our email to see if a coworker has sent us something, or make a reservation at another hotel can increase our usual rate by several hundred euros.
Historically, one of the most common solutions chosen by many travelers was to purchase a local SIM card. However, the time invested in the purchase, the paperwork involved, and the management of having to exchange our primary SIM card for the new local SIM card is not always worth it. Especially when we consider the time we must invest and the paperwork we must complete upon arrival.
eSIM Technology: A Before and After
Fortunately, in recent years, one of the technologies that has enabled a complete paradigm shift has been eSIM technology. This is a virtual card integrated into the device that is activated using a QR code or a link provided by the provider we choose. This avoids the main problem with local SIM cards: now the travel eSIM and our local SIM can work simultaneously. So we won't have to give our new number to anyone and we'll have both cards activated at the same time.
All we have to do is install the profile on the eSIM, activate it, and start browsing. Plus, we don't have to wait until we land to make the purchase; we can do it directly from our home country and start using the data we've subscribed to the moment we arrive at our destination.
The activation process is instantaneous, so we won't have to wait in long lines at the destination airport to start using the card.
