Discover Plans

If you're looking for an affordable way to use your cellphone when travelling around the world, you can get a Discover eSIM from only US$9 for 7 days usage.

To get a Discover eSIM, you'll need to have an eSIM-compatible device such as the iPhone 11, Galaxy S20, Pixel 3 or later devices. You can then order your Discover eSIM through the Airalo app with instant delivery direct to your phone. There's no need to queue at the airport or to register the Discover eSIM with your ID, saving you lots of time.

There are two different types of Discover eSIM plan that you're able to choose from on Airalo:

  • Discover eSIM: Get the standard Discover eSIM if you only need data on your plan. With this eSIM, you'll still be able to make voice-over-IP calls (e.g. using WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger).
  • Discover+ eSIM: This will also allow you to make and receive phone calls and SMS text messages directly on your eSIM. You'll get a new phone number based in Austria (starting with +43) assigned to your eSIM for this purpose.

  • Hi Ken
    Love this site!
    I’m off to South Africa in Feb 24 and I have a EE contract, they however do not cover that Country in their Data Roaming, what is the best way I can use my phone over there please?
    Get a sim when I land or do you know any other deals
    Thanks
    Richard
