Global

One plan, 202 destinations.

One profile, installed once, covering 202 destinations. You buy a balance in gigabytes rather than a countdown, so nothing expires and whatever you do not spend goes back to your wallet for the next trip. Coverage is published with the sample count behind every figure, every account carries 100 MB of free rescue data a month in over 200 countries, and crossing a land border needs no second install.

Every region, one balance

What one plan across every border actually changes

The tedious part of travelling with data is not the price, it is the admin. A per trip eSIM means a purchase before you go, an install at the airport, a second purchase when the itinerary changes, and a profile you delete afterwards. Multiply that by a trip through three countries and you have spent more time managing connectivity than using it.

One profile removes all of it. You install Orbislo once, and it stays on the phone with a balance attached to your account rather than to a country. Crossing a land border does nothing you have to notice: the profile finds a host network on the other side and keeps going. There is no new QR code, no second install, and no moment on a coach at 2am where you need data in order to buy data.

The global plan earns its keep the moment a trip touches a second country, or when you cannot yet say which countries it will touch. A week that starts in Lisbon and ends in Marrakesh is one balance and one install. So is a work trip that gains a city on the Wednesday. Nothing on the phone has to be told that the itinerary changed, because the balance was never attached to the itinerary in the first place.

How the balance works, and what happens to what you do not use

You are buying a balance, not a subscription and not a countdown. It sits in your wallet in gigabytes, it is spent wherever you happen to be, and the rate it is spent at is the same whether you are in a capital city or on a coast road. Bigger sizes cost less per gigabyte, which is the only place the price ladder bends.

Nothing expires. That sentence is doing more work than it looks like: the industry standard is a plan that dies after 7, 15 or 30 days, and the data you paid for and did not use dies with it. Independent estimates put the waste between a fifth and a third of everything travellers buy. Here the remainder goes back to the wallet and is there for the next trip, next month or next year.

That changes how you should buy. With an expiring plan the rational move is to underbuy and top up in a panic; with a wallet the rational move is to buy the size that is cheapest per gigabyte and let the surplus sit. It is worth less to us per transaction and more to you over three trips, and we would rather have the third trip.

What the phone does when you land

The profile attaches to a host network on the ground. Each country's coverage page names those carriers rather than describing them as premium local networks, so you can see in advance whose masts you will be on. Where more than one network sits behind the profile in a country, the phone moves between them when the one it is on degrades, and you hear about it afterwards instead of being interrupted at the time.

Speeds are published with the number of samples behind them. A median taken from four hundred sessions and a median taken from nine are different kinds of number, and printing the count next to each one lets you weigh a speed the same way you would weigh any other figure attached to a price.

Land borders ask nothing of you. The same profile, the same balance, a network on the other side, and no QR code to hunt for on a bus with no signal. That holds across the whole 202 destination footprint, including the crossings people usually plan a second purchase around.

What is already in the account before you buy anything

Every account carries 100 MB of free rescue data a month, in over 200 countries. It is there for the gap between running out and topping up: the map you need before the taxi arrives, the boarding pass in an airport with no free wifi, the message to say the flight moved. It renews every month whether or not you bought anything that month.

Topping up takes about ten seconds in the app and installs nothing. The gigabytes land in the same wallet as the ones you already had, at the rate the size you picked is priced at, and the profile on the phone does not change. No second eSIM, no new QR code, and no window where the phone sits offline while something downloads.

The balance belongs to the account rather than to the handset. Change phones and you install the profile again and the gigabytes are where you left them. Finish a trip and there is nothing to cancel, nothing to delete, and nothing sitting on the phone counting down to zero while you are at home.

Common questions

How many countries does the global plan cover?
202 destinations on one profile, installed once and kept. The balance sits with your account rather than with any one of those countries, so it is spent at the same rate in all of them, and each country's coverage page prints the sample count beside every speed.
Do I need a separate eSIM for each country?
No. One profile, installed once, and it keeps working as you cross borders. There is nothing to swap at a land crossing and nothing to reinstall when you land, which is the whole reason the global plan exists.
Does the global plan expire?
No. Whatever you do not use stays in your wallet and is there on the next trip, whether that is next week or next year. Over a few trips that is the difference that adds up: buy the size that costs least per gigabyte, spend what you spend, and the rest is still yours.
What does the global plan cost across several countries?
One rate wherever you are. A gigabyte spent in Japan and a gigabyte spent in Morocco come out of the same balance at the same price, so a five country trip is one number to work out rather than five. Bigger sizes cost less per gigabyte, and anything left over stays in the wallet.
What happens if I run out of data mid trip?
Topping up takes about ten seconds in the app and installs nothing. If you are already at zero, every account carries 100 MB of free rescue data a month in over 200 countries, which exists so you are never in the position of needing data in order to buy data.
Which network will I actually be on abroad?
It depends where you are, and the coverage page for each country names the carriers by name rather than saying "premium local networks". Where a country has more than one network behind our profile, we move you between them when the one you are on degrades, and we tell you afterwards rather than interrupting you at the time.
What do I have to do at a land border?
Nothing. No new QR code, no second profile, no reinstall, no trip to a shop. The phone finds a host network on the other side and keeps spending the same balance, which is what makes an overland route through several of the 202 destinations the same amount of admin as one flight.
