New On Kuda: Get An eSIM For Your Next Trip
Access the internet when you travel abroad without spending on a foreign data plan.
If you’re going abroad soon or any time, you’re probably going to need internet access as you move around the country you’re visiting.
Your first thought might be to use free public wifi but that’s not a safe option. Even if you choose to risk it (which you shouldn’t), you could get stranded in places without wifi coverage.
You might also consider paying for a data plan in foreign currency, which is probably an expense you’d like to avoid.
Forget those options.
The best thing for you is to get an eSIM on your Kuda app. You’ll be able to access the internet in the country you’re visiting without risking your safety or spending too much.
What’s an eSIM?
An eSIM works like the SIM card you’re used to but without the small plastic card that you’d usually put in your phone to connect to a mobile network.
Instead of having to physically put a SIM card in your phone, an eSIM is automatically installed on your phone or you can scan a QR code to add it to your phone and you’ll be connected to the eSIM’s network. So easy.
You can get an eSIM for over 60 countries across the world on the Kuda app, including the US, the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia, some of the most frequently visited countries in Europe, and several African countries.
Everything else you need to know about eSIMs on the Kuda app:
1. eSIMs are provided by a third party service provider.
2. Each eSIM itself is free. What you’d be paying for is internet data, and you’ll be able to choose from data plans as low as 1GB (which lasts for seven days) and as high as 20GB.
3. Any eSIM you buy on your Kuda app won’t come with a phone number but you can use the mobile data that comes with the eSIM to make and receive video and audio calls on apps like WhatsApp and FaceTime.
4. You can buy an eSIM on your Kuda app and install it before you travel or when you get to your destination. You’ll need to be online to install the eSIM. When you’re within range of the installed eSIM’s mobile network, your phone will connect automatically.
5. To connect to the internet, you’ll need to turn on data roaming for the eSIM’s mobile network in your phone settings to connect to the internet.
Even if you’re not traveling soon, sign in to your Kuda app now, tap Pay and choose eSIM to see all the global destinations you can get an eSIM for. 💜
