Choosing and buying an eSIM ⁽¹⁷⁾

We do not offer eSIMs with unlimited data. Our eSIMs range from 3GB - 7GB of data. 7GB of data is enough for common internet usage, but if you wanted the eSIM to make video calls or stream videos you might need more. We understand that having lots of data is important, so if you're not satisfied with the amount of data in the plan speak to a member of our team and we'll see if we can help. 

The plans available on the Holafly website cannot be extended or shortened. So what can you do if you need an eSIM for longer? The best option is to buy multiple eSIMs. Let's imagine you're going to the United States for 35 days. You could buy one 7GB eSIM for 30 days and one 3GB eSIM for 7 days. That gives you a total of 10GB for 37 days. Download the first eSIM at the start of your trip. Use it until…

Your eSIM can only be activated on one device. If you delete the eSIM from your device, you will not be able to reuse it. You cannot scan the QR code on two devices, but you can share data between devices by setting up a hotspot on your cell phone.

You need WiFi to set up your eSIM so we recommend that you install and activate your eSIM just before your departure. You can also wait until you arrive in the country to activate the eSIM, but remember that you need WiFi connection for the set-up process.

At the moment, you cannot renew the data on your eSIM. If you need more data, you can buy another eSIM for your phone to cover the rest of your internet needs. If you're unsure how much data you need, check out this guide.
