An end to roaming woes? Holafly launches “world’s first global data plan”

eSIM provider Holafly has launched what it says is the “world’s first global data plan,” signalling the end of roaming as we know it.

With one eSIM, one plan, and full global coverage, Holafly says it is “disrupting the industry to become the first true international mobile operator.”

Unlike traditional roaming services or temporary travel SIMs, Holafly’s solution lives permanently on your device, reads a press release.

Travellers can easily scale their plan up or down based on their needs, topping up on the go or pausing between trips.

Holafly Plans offers a range of options designed for every type of traveller — from as little as $1.66 per day to $64.90 per month for unlimited data, hotspot access, and a local phone number, valid in every country you visit.

“We’re not just launching a product — we’re opening a new category,” said Pedro Maiquez, co-founder of Holafly, in a statement. “For the first time, travelers can stay connected worldwide with a single plan, always installed on their phone. It’s way more affordable and easy to use than buying multiple local SIMs.”

For decades, international roaming has been a frustrating and costly experience.

For the past seven years, Holafly has aimed to create sustainable solutions that break down barriers and make global data accessible.

This latest launch firmly “puts an end to roaming woes by introducing a permanent global eSIM that seamlessly connects wherever you go,” the company said.

“With this new approach, the internet becomes effortless and travelers gain full control over their data usage,” said Maiquez. “Need more data for an extended trip? Just top up. Taking a short weekend getaway? Scale down or pause your plan.”

Additionally, through its division Holafly for Business, the company offers competitive and flexible data solutions for businesses looking to keep their employees connected worldwide without paying roaming fees.
