If you have never used an eSIM before, don’t worry. Installing and using Airalo is much easier than it may seem. Below is a simple, step-by-step guide to help you get started.
First, make sure your phone is compatible with eSIM technology (most recent smartphones are).
Go to the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android)
Search for Airalo
Download and install the app
Once installed, open the app and create an account using your email address.
In the Airalo app:
Select the country or region you will be traveling to
Choose a data plan that fits your needs (for example, 5 GB or 10 GB)
Before completing your purchase, enter the promo code WINGBUDDY10
This gives you 10% off the price of your eSIM
After payment, your eSIM will be ready to install.
Airalo will guide you through the installation process directly in the app.
Follow the on-screen instructions
The eSIM will be added automatically in your phone’s settings
The process usually takes only a few minutes
It is recommended to install the eSIM before you leave, while you are still connected to Wi-Fi at home.
Once you arrive at your destination:
Go to your phone’s cellular settings
Turn on the Airalo eSIM for mobile data
If needed, turn off data roaming on your regular mobile plan
Your phone will then connect to the local network, and you can use your data normally:
Check emails
Use Google Maps
Browse the internet
Stay in touch with family and friends
