Need to travel to Israel tomorrow, and didn't really have a way to have data with Visible. Found this, joined, now I have a pending esim on my phone! Hopefully tomorrow it works when I land! 🙏 Reg. and QR were super easy to set up
Kate Tan
@altryne Hey Alex, that sounds great! Be sure to turn it on only when you land, and turn your "Mobile Data" to the eSIM! Let us know how it goes, and safe travels.
Niki Torres
@altryne exciting! Let us know how the service is in Israel. Safe travels!
Altryne
@katetan I just got the news that I'm going to be delayed 9 hours in Germany! sad! but, with airalo, I found 2.5$ for 7 days for 1gb! So I immediately bought that, and now I will have connection in Germany! This service is a game changer for me! 🙌🙌🙌
Altryne
@katetan Worked like a boss, in all locations. I have advocated for this product in several facebook groups and on twitter, and this is my goto now when I travel. Please don't go away 🤭!

I've used these esims multiple times going from Canada to the US and the entire experience has been flawless. Highly recommended.
Niki Torres
@neilio thanks for this! keeps our team going.
Dun
There is gotta be another way to do this without scanning a code incase I only have one screen.
Niki Torres
Hey @huangdun we totally hear you on that. We're currently working to make that possible.
Alexandre Giess
I have been pretty happy using GigSky. why is this service better?
Kate Tan
@alexgiess Hey Alexandre, thanks for the heads up! Great to hear that you're doing great with GigSky. Here at Airalo, we're targeting to be an aggregator of eSIMs on our website so that our users can pick and choose how much data they need, for how many days and how much they're willing to pay for it. We also cover 160+ countries, with both local and regional eSIMs. It'd be great if you could compare our pricing to GigSky, and if you could let us know how the experience with Airalo is, that'd be lovely. Thank you!
Alexandre Giess
there is a typo in the signup flow (recieve). I would add support for  login and keychain as  pay. I can see the value of comparing plans like you will compare flights based on price and network speed access. And if it is about picking and choosing I would love to be able to select a number of days and what type of usage (just the basics, usual, heavier + personal hotspot) Does  give your app access to an iPhone network usage ? It could useful to get a baseline and help smooth the sign-up flow.
Niki Torres
@alexgiess we hear you! :) we're currently working on that apple entitlement, just waiting for approval. We are also looking at some comparison and/or figuring out how to help pick and choose data vs putting static data packs. Glad to know some folks would want something like this.

Bookmarked! You guys should add a section for "eSIM supported phones" currently there's no good listing even on google, would drive easily additional traffic when properly executed
Niki Torres
Thanks @juhslk! Working on our SEO pages 😉

Also, I feel the price is too costly, not local. In India, for $5, we get atleast 150+ GB 4G with 84 days validity (Same network as you advertised) But here, its giving only 1 GB for 7 Days. which is way too costly. How can it called Local Price?
Niki Torres
Hey @surjithctly we hear you on this. We're working on getting local telco partners to make the pricing more competitive. Hopefully in a few months' time we onboard one and get to a more local pricing.
Surjith S M
Where is India and Dubai ? Edit: Oops, found it now. I thought only listed countries are available. Time to ping your UX Designer to add a button at the bottom to "See all Countries".
Niki Torres
@surjithctly thanks for the feedback and let us know if you have any more. We're addressing this when we do a redesign.
ryanmtaylor
I am traveling internationally soon and this looks awesome. I went to Thailand last month and had to bring an old phone, purchase a SIM, etc. Does my iPhone have to be unlocked to use the eSIM if it's secondary?
Niki Torres
Hey @ryanmtaylor, yes you need to have an unlocked phone for this. Let us know if we can assist in any way.
Alessandro Pogliaghi
Seems wonderful, will Switzerland be added to the list? Thanks and great job!
Niki Torres
@tatoalo yes we do have an eSIM for Switzerland https://www.airalo.com/switzerland
Athan Didaskalou
Love this idea guys. How does it compare to SkyRoam?
Kate Tan
@ath Hey Athan, great question! With SkyRoam, you have to carry the device around wherever you go for Wi-Fi. With Airalo, the eSIM is installed in your phone, and you won't have to remove or change your physical SIM card, or carry an extra device around. Hope this helps clarify things.
Nikolai Lebedovsky
Sounds great! I am a frequent traveler and I can see the benefits immediately. Please check: I am trying to log in with Facebook but get redirect loop.
Niki Torres
Hi @russianpilgrim thanks for letting us know. Checking on that FB login.
Niki Torres
@russianpilgrim that's good to hear! but will defo investigate the social login.
Hai Le
Great ideas
Sam McAllister
Can't wait to use this in SF next month. Amazing stuff.
Niki Torres
@sammcallister sweet! Let us know how it goes for you.
Rayev Kaniyet
Tried this product multiple times during trips. Super smooth experience and physical sim cards now feel so obsolete. Game changer!
Niki Torres
Yay @rayevk ! Exactly what we hope the experience to be.
Edison Espinosa
Please have one for Colombia. Travel there frequently :D
Kate Tan
@edisonjoao6871 Thanks Edison! We hear you, and I'll be sending this through to our partnerships team. We're working on it.
tela
This is so exciting! We hit 7 different countries this summer, and the one major pain point (besides Ryan Air) was data access. Great comment @juhslk - you beat me to it =)
Niki Torres
lol about Ryanair 😄@tela if you have an eSIM device (currently the iPhone 11, iPhone XS, iPhone XR and Pixel 4) happy to get you started on an eSIM with us. Let me know? :)
Niki Torres
@tela haha we hear the same thing from others who are keen to upgrade after learning about the eSIM. I sure had to! hehehe. well, if you ever upgrade, do check us out.
Nathaniel Fredericks
I love Airalo. Data is expensive in Canada and for me, it’s unaffordable. I use Airalo with my iPhone XR as my primary data carrier and haven’t had any problems.
Niki Torres
@nathfreder1 Glad to have you join the family at Airalo. We absolutely appreciate everyone who's believed in us enough to try us out. Cannot wait for 2020 and improving our services. Stay tuned!
多达达
Great, I want to ask, how does the system recognize the conversion of the user's region? How is the gateway data interface handled?
Kate Tan
@new_user_27a2dc6e8a Hey D, welcome to Product Hunt! Are you asking about how you can switch across different regions when travelling? We have both regional and local eSIMs - if you want to travel between countries, you'll have to purchase different local eSIMs, and turn them on respectively when you arrive at your destination. If you've got a regional eSIM (let's say Europe), you can stay connected throughout the entire of Europe. Let me know if we can help in any other way!
