What is Airalo?
Airalo is an eSIM store that sells prepaid mobile data plans for travelers. It calls itself the world's first eSIM store and covers more than 200 countries and regions. It reports over 30 million users.
You choose a plan in the iOS or Android app or on the website, buy it, and install the eSIM on a compatible phone. Mobile data then runs on the Airalo eSIM rather than your home carrier, which helps you avoid domestic roaming charges. Plans come in three types: local eSIMs for a single country such as Japan or Thailand, regional eSIMs for areas such as Europe or Latin America, and global eSIMs. Some packages include unlimited data. When a plan runs out or expires, you can top it up in the app.
Airalo suits frequent travelers, remote workers and anyone who wants mobile data abroad without buying a physical SIM. There is also a separate Airalo Partners program for businesses.
