How it works

Travel Connectivity

An eSIM is almost always the cleanest option for travellers — install before you fly and you are online the moment you land. Airalo covers 200+ countries; Saily is the budget option; Yesim offers unlimited plans for long stays.

Makutet recommends

We recommend installing an Airalo eSIM before you fly — it costs less than a single roaming day and works the moment you land.

Things to avoid

  • Banking on public Wi-FiAvoid logging into sensitive accounts on hotel or café Wi-Fi without a VPN.
  • Carrier roaming dataRoaming rates regularly exceed the cost of an eSIM in a single day.

Local tips

  • Buy before you fly — install your eSIM at home so you are connected the moment you land.
  • Set it as secondary SIM — keep your home number active for SMS verification codes.
  • Download offline maps in Google Maps as a backup in case of weak signal.
  • Top up mid-trip — most eSIM apps let you add data without losing your number.

How to Choose the Right eSIM

What matters when picking an eSIM

Check country coverage first — Airalo and Saily cover 200+ countries, but always confirm your specific destination.
Estimate your data need — 1 GB a week is plenty for mapping and messaging; streaming and video calls need more.
For long stays and remote work, Yesim's unlimited plans remove data anxiety entirely.
Dual-SIM phones can run two eSIMs at once — keep your home number active while travelling.
Install your eSIM before you fly so you are online the moment you land.

Destination Considerations

Southeast Asia

Airalo regional plan (Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia) is the best value — one plan covers all.

Europe

A pan-Europe eSIM (Airalo Europe) avoids re-buying a SIM each country.

Japan & South Korea

Local networks are excellent — an eSIM removes the passport-registration step.

USA & Canada

Coverage is excellent; Airalo and Saily both offer strong North American plans.

Booking Tips
