If you’ve ever heard of the “six week holidays”, chances are you live in the UK or wider Europe! July and August are traditionally reserved in the school calendars for children to enjoy some time away with their families.

Of course, by September, the dreaded march back to school begins again… but for six or seven wonderful weeks, families have a chance to get out and explore the world to their heart’s content (or at least as long as their bank balances can withstand!).

And, when going on long holidays during school breaks, there are plenty of essentials you need to pack – and yet, there’s one essential item you don’t even need to make room in your luggage for.

Naturally, given you’re browsing an eSIM website, you can probably guess where we’re going with this…!

How Can eSIMs Support Your Summer Holiday?

eSIMs are virtual SIMs that you can download to your phone close to your trips abroad – and they’ll activate whenever you land. Our eSIMs connect to mobile networks based all over the world, meaning that wherever you go on holiday or break, you’ll automatically join a local mobile network.

Here are a few key benefits to using SIMOVO on short or extended summer trips away before the September doom and gloom sets in.

You’re fully budgeted

One of the biggest pains of having to use SIMs abroad is accounting for all the extra fees you might end up paying just because you use mobile data in different countries. No one wants to come back to a big bill after some wonderful weeks away – but sadly, mobile networks are notorious for stacking the charges when you’re not looking too carefully!

SIMOVO eSIMs, however, are pay-as-you-go. That means before you even start eating into your spending money, you know exactly how much you’re spending on international internet costs!

They’re available for a wide range of devices

We know that the whole family is likely to use all kinds of phones, tablets, and gadgets. Therefore, instead of having to fiddle around with different physical SIMs to fit various phones, you can download eSIMs to suit most modern devices!

The SIMOVO compatibility list is always growing, but the general rule of thumb is that if you have a mainstream phone or tablet built in the last four to five years, you’re very likely to be able to use our service.

If in doubt, however, do reach out to our team and ask questions! We’re here to help you, and we’d rather make sure you’re buying an eSIM that suits your precise needs than blindly installing something that doesn’t suit you.

There’s no need for public WiFi

Finding public WiFi hotspots when you travel abroad can be a real pain. When your kids want to use their iPads and you need to get access to mobile banking in a pinch, you’re probably hopping from coffee shop to coffee shop with abandon.

Not only is that a royal pain, it’s also a security risk! Public WiFi hotspots are notorious for being super insecure, meaning that whenever you connect through them, you’re likely at risk from being hacked.

With an eSIM, however, you always have a virtual internal internet connection that’s super speedy, stable, and ready to go whenever you need it. Not just that, but SIMOVO eSIMs encrypt your data and protect you against nasty tricks like SIM swapping.

On top of all that, you can even tether many of our eSIMs so that you can share your data with the whole family while you’re away. You’ve got your own secure, personal hotspot!

You’ve got the best network access possible

Searching around for local SIMs when you don’t speak the language can be a nightmare. Popping into different shops and stores takes serious time away from actually enjoying yourself, too – and there’s no telling whether or not you’ve picked the best possible network based on where you are.

With SIMOVO eSIMs, however, you’ll always connect to the best possible network coverage – meaning that, in some cases, you’ll even be able to use 5G.

That also means there may be occasions where your phone or tablet will swap networks if better coverage is available if you move around. However, that won’t disrupt your fun – we aim to make network swapping as seamless as possible, meaning even if you’re in the middle of streaming, you will barely notice the jump.

You’re covered across tons of different locations

If you’re on a bit of a world tour or even just want to take in a few continental destinations, you’ll usually need to swap SIMs in and out as you go. That means buying up lots of different SIMs and wasting an awful lot of plastic!

With SIMOVO’s international eSIMs, you can get coverage for various continents or even the whole globe – seamlessly leaping from one network to the next, streaming, posting, IM’ing - you name it. In a world where we’re all craving a little less hassle, it’s a fantastic way to keep the whole family connected while you explore.

SIMOVO’s eSIMs are designed for short and long trips, and especially for busy parents who want to keep everyone online.

The Summer Shouldn’t Start Without an eSIM!

We’re already a fair way into the summer break for European families, however, there’s still time to load up your devices with digital cards that keep you connected across everywhere you wish to go.

SIMOVO gives you access to superfast and stable mobile internet across scores of destinations. Before you book your flights and places to stay, make a point of buying and downloading eSIMs that will cover your needs and the duration of your trip.

Otherwise, you might be stuck depending on shaky public WiFi and spending all kinds of cash on increasing mobile bills. We want to save you from that very real nightmare – pack away the frustration and install an eSIM to your phone no matter where you go.
