Looking for a VIA eSIM alternative?

Most travel eSIM providers sell the same thing — prepaid mobile data you install before you fly — so the difference is in the plan you get for your destination: how much data, for how many days, at what price.

SoloSim lists every plan with its data, validity, network speed and price per GB, so comparing it with VIA or anyone else takes a minute. Pick the plan that fits your trip and install it in a few taps.

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

How do I compare eSIM prices fairly?

Compare the price per GB for the same validity. A cheap plan with half the data, or a week less, isn't cheaper. SoloSim shows price per GB on every plan.

What if my phone doesn't support eSIM?

Check your model on SoloSim's compatibility page before you buy. Phones that are locked to a carrier may also refuse a travel eSIM until they're unlocked.

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.
