Built for
eSIM for international students.
Year-long study abroad, local bank setups, laptop-heavy campus life.
Why this matters
"The first two weeks of a study-abroad year are the hardest. You need data to find housing, open a bank, and register with the university — but you have no local ID yet. A travel eSIM bridges exactly that gap."
International students face a specific problem: they need a local phone number for the destination country (to open a bank, register for health insurance, sign a lease) but most travel eSIMs are data-only. Until Phase 2 local numbers ship, the workaround is a travel eSIM for day-one data plus a local SIM once you arrive and can register with local ID.
A monthly unlimited plan is the right first-month default while you sort paperwork.
Pain points we fix.
- Need data immediately on arrival for housing and banking
- Cannot get local SIM until local ID arrives (weeks)
- Tethering laptop for assignments and video calls home
- Budget-sensitive — every pound matters
