Airalo's single-install eSIM rolling out now

Japan eSIM plans in Airalo

I'm the type of person that likes to touch down in a new country and have the internet on their phone ready to go. While I used to do this by swapping SIM cards, that's not even an option because of my phone. But, eSIMs can be convenient, which is how I use my service from my primary and secondary carriers now.

And while I have two carriers loaded on my phone, they don't provide the best services when traveling. Sure, the connectivity is there, but the speeds are abysmal unless I'm paying a ton to get enhanced connectivity. That cost usually leaves me to rely on third-party services like Airalo when abroad.

Making it more convenient

I've personally used Airalo a few times over the past couple of years and each time the experience has been great. It's not the cheapest eSIM service provider out there, but it does have great speeds and coverage.

And the activation and payment process is pretty simple. Perhaps the only complaint I had, was that every service from Airalo, from different countries or regions required a new eSIM activation.

Now, this isn't a unique problem to Airalo but it's something you notice when your eSIMs start to stack up. The good news is that the brand is looking to improve the experience. It's rolling out a single-install eSIM experience over the coming months.

A new going forward

The brand states that "The new experience, powered by Airalo’s proprietary core network, combines critical infrastructure with a seamless customer service experience, granting travelers continuous, borderless connectivity through the Airalo platform."

If you're someone that travels to many different countries a year, this is going to be a game changer. Airalo states that, with the new experience, "users will no longer need to install a new eSIM each time they travel; they can simply purchase the package that best suits their needs."

"In practice: no switching between eSIMs, and one connection that stays with the customer wherever they go." Even now, the experience is already pretty seamless. However, being able to get all your Airalo services with just one eSIM will make a huge difference.

So that's one eSIM that will be able to tackle the entire world when it comes to the brand's service. Airalo will continue to offer plans for each country, while also offering plans for regions. However, the service provider does also offee a plan that will provide global coverage.

This global plan will also have the option to provide voice and text, which is something that we haven't seen with other Airalo plans. Again, the good thing about Airalo going forward is that no matter which plan you choose, or how many times you change, the service will always be attached to the one Airalo eSIM.

The goal is to have you ready to go even before you touch down in a new country. Airalo has offered preflight checks for eSIMs before, and this is going to have the same option. Airalo is pretty broad in its timeline to have this all rolled out.

The brand shares that it will start today and the completion of this project will occur over the next 12 months. Naturally, you can just continue using the service as is.
