Work from anywhere. Your connection shouldn't hold you back.
Fast data, reliable hotspot, no roaming contracts.
A slow connection at the wrong moment costs more than an eSIM plan. Whether you're on a workcation, a long-term stay, or bouncing between co-working spaces, you need your own reliable data — full stop. Here's what to look for, and what to avoid.
Why café Wi-Fi is not a plan
Public Wi-Fi is fine for checking emails. It's not fine for video calls, uploading large files, or accessing sensitive work systems. Shared networks are slower under load (everyone in the café is on it), and security is anyone's guess. Your own eSIM connection is faster, private, and entirely yours. Think of it as your office network that travels with you.
- Hotspot from your eSIM to your laptop for a private, reliable connection anywhere.
- Video calls use ~1 GB/hour. Budget accordingly for meeting-heavy days.
- Uploads are often slower than downloads on mobile networks — factor this in for large file transfers.
- Some co-working spaces have excellent Wi-Fi. Use your eSIM as backup, not replacement.
How much data do remote workers need?
More than a tourist, less than you might fear. A typical remote work day — video calls, Slack, browsing, the odd YouTube break — uses about 2–4 GB. A full working month abroad sits around 40–80 GB. For stays over two weeks, look at daily (unlimited) plans rather than fixed data packs. You get full-speed data up to a daily allowance, then slower speeds that still handle messaging and browsing. You're never cut off mid-call.
- Short workcations (1–2 weeks): a 10–15 GB fixed plan is usually enough.
- Long stays or heavy users: daily unlimited plans give peace of mind.
- Always check if the destination supports 5G — it makes a meaningful difference for large uploads.
- Japan, South Korea, and Singapore have some of the fastest mobile networks on earth.
Multi-country travel
Spending a month in Europe across multiple countries? A regional plan beats buying a new eSIM at every border. Our Europe plans cover 30+ countries with one activation. Southeast Asia? Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia are covered by regional plans too. No mid-trip juggling, no activation delays.
Keep your home number active
Your eSIM is data-only — your physical SIM stays in your phone the whole time. Calls and texts to your home number still arrive. Clients can still reach you. Bank 2FA still works. The eSIM just adds a local data connection on top. That's the magic of dual SIM.
