What is Airalo?

Airalo is the world's first and largest eSIM marketplace. It lets travellers buy prepaid data plans for 200+ countries without needing a physical SIM card. Your phone needs to support eSIM (most modern smartphones do). Plans are affordable, often much cheaper than hotel Wi-Fi or carrier roaming packages.

Do I need a special phone for Airalo?

You need an eSIM-compatible device. Most iPhones from iPhone XS onwards and many recent Android phones support eSIM. You can check your device compatibility on the Airalo website or app before purchasing.

Can I refer friends after signing up?

Yes. Once you create an Airalo account, you'll get your own referral code to share. When friends use it, you'll both earn Airmoney credit that can be used towards future eSIM purchases.

Local, regional or global: which Airalo eSIM should you buy?

Airalo sells three kinds of eSIM and picking the right one is most of the value. A local eSIM (one country) is almost always the cheapest per gigabyte — if your whole trip is in Spain, buy the Spain eSIM. Regional eSIMs (Europe, Asia, North America and so on) cost a little more per gigabyte but cover dozens of countries on one plan, which wins the moment your trip crosses a border. Global eSIMs are the priciest and only make sense for round-the-world routes or frequent flyers who want one plan everywhere.

One thing to know before buying: most Airalo plans are data-only, with no phone number. That matters less than it sounds — WhatsApp, iMessage and Signal carry on working with your existing number, and your UK SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts (see the setup tip below).

How much data do you need for a trip?

For maps, messaging, email and a bit of browsing, around 1GB per week of light use is realistic. Add social media, photo uploads and the occasional video call and 3–5GB per week is the safer budget. Video streaming is what destroys data plans — save Netflix for the hotel Wi-Fi. If in doubt, buy the smaller plan: Airalo lets you top up an active eSIM from the app in minutes, so running low mid-trip is a £5 fix, not a crisis.

Is Airalo cheaper than using your UK SIM abroad?

Outside Europe, almost always — UK networks typically charge daily roaming passes or per-megabyte rates outside the EU that make even a short trip expensive, and a local Airalo eSIM routinely undercuts a fortnight of daily passes by a wide margin. Within Europe it depends on your plan: several UK providers still include EU roaming within your normal allowance — Lebara does on most plans, for instance — so for an EU-only trip, check what your current SIM already includes before buying anything. For everywhere else, the eSIM wins.

Setting up your Airalo eSIM before you fly

Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi, not at the airport: buy the plan in the Airalo app, follow the install prompts, and leave the new line switched off until you land. Keep your UK SIM active in the phone with data roaming turned off on that line — you will still receive calls and, crucially, the SMS one-time codes your bank sends, while all data flows through the Airalo line. Activation starts when the eSIM first connects to a supported network, so installing early costs you no plan days.
