eSIM Talks | Episode 2: Why Global eSIM Plans are beating the old Roaming?

Episode 2 of eSIM Talks explores how global eSIM plans are reshaping international connectivity and gradually replacing traditional roaming. Industry experts highlight that travelers historically avoided roaming due to high costs and lack of transparency, creating a segment known as “silent roamers” who relied on Wi-Fi instead of mobile data abroad. Travel eSIM services solve this problem by offering predictable pricing, easy activation, and greater control, transforming connectivity into a standalone digital travel service rather than an add-on from mobile operators. As a result, new digital-first players are entering the telecom ecosystem while traditional operators adapt their roaming strategies. The episode also highlights increasing competition among eSIM providers, where brand recognition, trust, and user experience are becoming key differentiators. Ultimately, travel eSIM is not only changing pricing models but also redefining how connectivity fits into the broader travel experience.

Brand trust as the invisible infrastructure of modern travel

In travel, some things are expected to work without question. Flights should arrive as planned, accommodation should be ready, and mobile access should be available from the moment a traveler lands. When these basics fail, the experience quickly becomes stressful. When they work, they often fade into the background.

eSIM Talks | Episode 1: The end of the physical SIM: How eSIM is changing the way we travel and communicate

Have you ever wondered what’s really behind an eSIM? Why, in such a short time, has it gone from being a niche feature to a central part of how we travel, connect, and communicate? This is exactly what we explore in the first episode of eSIM Talks. In this episode, Rafael is joined by guest Chris Hills, VP of Carrier & Operations at Holafly, and guest Mohit Agrawal, technology influencer and Director of AI & IoT at Counterpoint Research. Together, they explore the transition from physical SIM cards to eSIM from three complementary angles, traveler experience, operator reality, and the wider connected-device economy.
