Carefree Internet on your diving vacation thanks to the purchase of an eSim
Advantages of an eSim on Vacation
An eSim offers several advantages for divers going on diving vacations. Avoiding roaming charges: Traditional roaming charges can be high. With an eSim, you avoid these costs by easily activating local data plans upon arrival. Convenience and flexibility: You can easily switch between networks without changing physical SIM cards. This instantly activates a local data plan without the hassle. Useful if, for example, you combine 2 countries on one diving trip. Always connected: With an eSim, you have reliable connections even in remote areas. This is ideal for navigation, communication and access to information. In addition, you can keep your physical SIM card, so you remain reachable on your own phone number.Purchasing an eSim at Holafly
Is my phone eSim compatible?
Before purchasing an eSim, it is important to check if your phone is eSim compatible. Many of Apple’s phones are eSIM-enabled. This actually applies to every model starting with the iPhone XR. Examples of which iPhone can use an eSIM include the iPhone 14, iPhone 13 and iPhone XS. The same is true for Android phones, most new models, pretty much from the Samsung Galaxy S23 / Google Pixel 7 / OnePlus 12, support the use of an eSim. Check your phone before buying an eSim To be sure, it’s best to go to your phone’s settings and then go to Mobile Data/Networks/Connections. In this menu you will also find the (e)Sim settings. Or, of course, you can just grab the specifications of your device, which always list eSim as well.Also perhaps interesting
