Data roaming occurs when you use data connection outside of your carrier's coverage zone. Your mobile network can make substantial charges for roaming outside of your network coverage zone and you may end up with an enormous bill without realising it.

TravelNet offers data roaming plans with a coverage of over 180 countries and these plans are useable on any eSIM compatible phones. The eSIM compatible list is on the home page.

A data-only SIM has data allowance that allows users to have mobile Internet on their device, but no minutes for calling or texts for SMS. However, users can still make calls or send messages through applications like Skype, Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger etc

A data-only eSIM is a product that you can install digitally and allow you to connect to the mobile internet wherever you purchased the data plan for. The data plan is only for mobile internet and does not come with Voice or SMS services. However, users can still make calls or send messages through applications like Skype, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Viber, WeChat, etc.

A mobile SIM allows users to make standard phone calls, send SMS , and connect to the internet via mobile data, while a data SIM card provides only mobile data. While you cannot make standard voice calls and SMS from a phone number using a data only SIM card, internet-based messaging (like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger) and internet calling (Skype and Viber) are practical alternatives. TravelNet's Data eSIM comes with a data plan for various destinations around the world. It is a prepaid mobile service that allows you to access the Internet and stay connected wherever you are in the world and without paying expensive roaming fees to your local operator when roaming abroad.

Mobile operators enter into roaming agreements with other networks; so, if your SIM card’s home network is not available, it can connect to a different mobile network operator. This roaming feature is especially useful when you are traveling abroad and need to connect to the internet via mobile data. However, roaming fees are very often costly. A more practical and convenient way to stay connected to the internet while travelling is to purchase an international eSIM with a data roaming plan.  The TravelNet service provides eSIM with data plans which are for various destinations around the world and at affordable rates. It is a prepaid mobile service that allows you to access the Internet and stay connected wherever you are in the world and without paying expensive roaming fees.

A data plan is a service offered by mobile operators and carriers that allows users to access the internet via a 3G, 4G, LTE or 5G networks. Data plans can come in a variety of costs and sizes depending on the mobile carrier. How much data you need ultimately depends on your internet activities and daily usage.

It is a prepaid mobile service that allows you to access the Internet and stay connected wherever you are in the world and without paying expensive roaming fees.

An MVNO (or Mobile Virtual Network Operator) is an entity that enters into a business agreement with Mobile Network Operators to obtain airtime in bulk, including voice calls, SMS and mobile data. The airtime is acquired at wholesale rate and the MVNO resells the airtime at their own retail rates. MVNOs do not own the infrastructure to provide the services. However, an MVNO may maintain their own customer service, billing systems, marketing and sales staff. TravelNet is not a MVNO but essentially a marketplace that has agreements with global aggregators that allow us to package the best priced roaming plans for eSIM compatible phones or Mobile Wi-Fi devices.

A travel SIM card allows you to connect to a local network in various countries around the world. In this manner, you can avoid excessive roaming fees that your local operator or carrier may charge when you are abroad. While buying a local SIM card may prove marginally cheaper if you are staying in one country for extended periods of time, a travel SIM is a far more flexible option for frequent travellers, especially if you have several destinations during your trip. Travel SIM cards are all about convenience. Here are some advantages of using a travel SIM card like the TravelNet Data SIM:

• Having one SIM for multi-country trips is so much less hassle.
• You can manage spend in an online account and top up without any language barriers.
• You get low rates for data worldwide.
• You get more coverage than the average SIM as international SIM cards are designed specifically for travelling.

TravelNet's eSIM data plans are all prepaid. There are no hidden charges, no contracts, and no commitments when you purchase our data eSIM bundle. Our goal is to offer the lowest data roaming rates globally and we're constantly increasing the coverage beyond 180+ countries.

When you purchase your eSIM data plan, the validity of the Data Plan is based on the Bundle volume as well as duration which ranges from 7 days for 1GB plans to 30 days from plans greater than 1GB. The plan expires either when all the bundle is consumed or at the end of the duration. If you provide consent to usage notifications, we can send notifications and remind you to Top Up your plan before it runs out.

The most obvious way to minimize or eliminate data roaming fees is use only WiFi. Keep in mind that it is not a foolproof method for many of us because our phones or tablets are often needed most while we are on a move, and not while we are sitting in an internet cafe's; or a hotel lobby (remember that most of the hotels still profit by charging for WiFi) It is important to mention that public internet access is not secure and you are much more prone to identity theft when using public Internet connection. You will be more protected by using your own secure mobile connection with your TravelNet data roaming plan.

No matter where your travels take you, your connection to the internet will be private and secure. Password protected encryption means you'll never have to worry about questionable public WiFi networks and information leaks.

1GB Data Package is great for occasional usage. To give you an idea of what a 1GB of mobile data might look like for typical use, please refer to the table below. Please note that these calculations are estimates only.

1GB of data will give you:

Email - 100000 text only emails

Video Calling - 130 minutes of video calling

Web Surfing - 2600 online page visits

GPS navigation - 12000 minutes of GPS navigation

Photos - 350 photos upload and download

Music Streaming - 1000 minutes of streaming music files

Some of the most common internet activities that can generate high data use are: prolonged video streaming sessions, online interactive gaming, movie/torrent downloads. Additionally, automatic system, mobile app and cloud updates, photo synchronization and in-browser video/audio auto-streaming can consume your mobile data in the background.

If you consent to receiving notifications for usage, we can also send you details of how to Top up on your current eSIM otherwise you can delete the eSIM and just purchase a new eSIM with a new Data plan.

TravelNet is connected with partners that have agreements with all the mobile operators worldwide to make sure that you receive the best connection available to you. Most of the largely populated areas have great cellular signal and your mobile device will work without any disruptions. However, there are a number of factors that can prevent you from getting good mobile coverage. You may be able to get weak or no signal due to limitation in topography (the surroundings), network architecture (the location of cellular antennae) and capacity (the number of callers communicating in the area at given time). If you have concerns regarding the coverage in the area you are traveling to, please get in touch with our customer support team.

Well, a really quick simple way is to dial *#06# on your phone and see if you are able to see an EID number. if you do see an EID then your phone is eSIM ready.
