Travelling overseas should be an exciting experience, whether you’re going for work, or for a family holiday. It’s a new experience awaiting you! New smells, sights, and exciting things to do! But don’t forget to sort out how you will stay connected. Remember, you’ll need mobile data to find your way around your destination, send snaps to family back home, and find the best local eateries.
What are the Benefits of an eSIM?
1. Convenience
An eSIM is all digital, meaning you don’t have to worry about buying a physical sim. Gone are the days of worrying about losing your sim or damaging the card. As long as your phone is compatible with eSIM, and you purchase your eSIM plan prior to departure, you can connect as soon as you hop off the plane at your destination.
2. Budget-friendly
Roaming data plans are charged on a daily-fee basis. With eSIMs, you are only paying for the plan, which can be determined based on how much data you want, and how many days you want the plan for. NZ Compare’s eSIM plans are typically 30 days long, perfect for a wide range of trips. If you are going for longer, you can simply grab a second plan to activate when the first one finishes. You can keep control of the overall cost by knowing how much you are paying right from the beginning.
3. Easy to Use
No more finding a paperclip to eject your physical sim card tray. You simply need to grab your eSIM plan, follow the easy steps to activate it, and switch it on when you arrive at your destination. You will be connected automatically and won’t have to worry about going to a local shop to find a physical sim, or having one delivered to your home address before you leave.
