Looking for a Maya Mobile alternative?

For longer trips — backpacking, a semester abroad, a month working remotely — the plan that matters is the one that still has data in week three. That usually means choosing validity first, then data.

SoloSim shows the validity of every plan up front, and you can top up the same eSIM from the app when you need more, rather than starting over with a new one.

SoloSim at a glance

• Single-country plans for 202 countries, plus regional and global bundles.
• Data from $0.01 per GB.
• Fixed-data plans, plus unlimited or day-pass plans where a destination offers them.
• Buy on the website or in the app for iPhone and Android.
• Live data balance, expiry and top-ups in the app.

What to compare before you choose

1. Price for your exact trip. Compare the same data and the same number of days for your destination, not headline prices.
2. Coverage for every stop. For multi-country trips, check the regional bundle includes every country on your route.
3. What happens when data runs out. Check whether you can top up the same eSIM, and whether unlimited plans slow down after heavy use.
4. Network and speed. Look at which networks and speeds (4G/5G) the plan uses in your destination.
5. Your phone supports eSIM. Make sure your phone is eSIM-compatible and not carrier-locked before you buy.

Questions

What if my trip is longer than my plan?

Top up the eSIM you already have from the SoloSim app, where the plan supports it, or buy another plan for the same destination.

Unlimited or fixed data for a long trip?

If you stream or use your phone as a hotspot every day, unlimited is simpler. If you mostly use maps and messaging, a fixed plan sized to your trip usually costs less.

Can I keep my old eSIM and add SoloSim?

Yes. Most eSIM phones store several eSIMs at once. Install SoloSim alongside your other eSIMs and choose which one to use for mobile data in your phone's settings — nothing needs deleting.

Can I switch to SoloSim in the middle of a trip?

Yes. Buy a plan, install the eSIM over Wi-Fi or your current data, then set SoloSim as the line for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it. Any data left on your old eSIM stays there until it expires.

Will my phone number change?

No. SoloSim plans are for mobile data. Your usual SIM keeps your number for calls and texts, and WhatsApp and iMessage keep working with your normal number.
