Unlimited data, without the mystery

We believe you should know exactly what you're paying for. While many "unlimited" plans on the market wait for you to hit a hidden limit before slowing you down, we put the choice in your hands.

Tailored to your pace. You select the daily amount of our fastest data that matches your habits. This allows you to secure the best possible price by only paying for the high-speed access you actually need.

A connection that never cuts off. Your data truly never runs out. If you use your daily high-speed selection, your connection simply continues at a steady pace. You remain online, reachable, and never capped.

Truly Unlimited: No Hard Caps or Cut-offs
Local Networks: Fast, Direct Connectivity
Instant Setup: Delivered via Email

Not sure if your phone supports eSIM?

Check your device model in seconds before you buy. Your phone must be eSIM compatible and carrier unlocked.

Choose Your Connectivity Style

Understanding how you use data abroad helps you choose the right plan. Both options offer the same access to our international networks.

The Standard Plan

Standard plans are built for those who use their phone as a tool, not a television. If you plan to use hotel Wi-Fi for your heavy downloads and only need cellular data for social media, real-time navigation, checking emails, and staying in touch via WhatsApp, this is the most logical fit. It provides a fixed amount of high-speed data at a predictable price.
Best for:
  • Real-time GPS & Maps
  • Messaging & Calls
  • Social Browsing

The Unlimited Plan

Unlimited plans are designed to remove the "data anxiety" of international travel. If you are a digital nomad working from cafes, a content creator uploading 4K reels, or someone who simply doesn't want to track megabytes while exploring the Salt Flats, this plan offers total freedom. It ensures you stay online, no matter the usage.
Best for:
  • Video Streaming & Zoom
  • High-Res Content Uploads
  • Permanent Personal Hotspot
Aesthetic: Cinematic, "beach serenity" or "washed" lighting, high contrast, and authentic. Almost like watercolour.

Subject Matter: Focus on the environment and the traveler’s interaction with it, rather than just the device.

Composition: Wide shots with plenty of "negative space" (empty sky or blurred backgrounds) so the Shopify text overlay remains readable.

Seamless connectivity for every global journey

No more hunting for local SIM cards or returning home to unexpected roaming bills.

Our travel eSIMs provide instant, reliable data in over 180 countries. By connecting directly to local networks, we offer the speed you need with the flexibility you deserve.

Super easy to use and install and saved me a tonne on my recent trip to America! Don’t know why I never did it before. I will return!

Customer Service 10/10

Such great customer service, I was looking to get my eSIM on their website, which is really user friendly, and as I was searching, I asked them a question on the chat function and got a reply straight away. The team were really helpful and helped me choose the correct package for our trip to the USA - would highly recommend!

Better than WiFi

Have been in Bali for 5 days now and the four of us all have got an E-Sim with Simovo. I haven't logged on to any WiFi yet as it seems to be working better on 5g than the WiFi around here. Even in the middle of nowhere in Uluwatu.
