1GLOBAL

Truphone, one of the earliest global mobile data companies, went through a UK insolvency process in 2022 after its previous ownership came under sanctions, and its remaining assets were restructured under new ownership as 1GLOBAL. Where the old Truphone brand sold plans directly to consumers, 1GLOBAL's current business is squarely enterprise: companies like Revolut and N26 use its connectivity platform to embed working SIM or eSIM connections into their own products, rather than building that infrastructure themselves.

There's no individual checkout on 1GLOBAL's site, and it isn't the right link for someone booking a personal trip. It belongs in this category because it's a genuine example of enterprise connectivity infrastructure: API-driven provisioning, programmatic device management, and the kind of bulk technical integration a travel app, bank, or IoT device maker needs when connectivity is a feature of their product rather than the product itself. Businesses evaluating how to add mobile data to their own app or hardware, rather than buying a single travel plan, are the right audience here. Individual travelers looking for a personal eSIM should look at BetterRoaming, the consumer brand that carries on Truphone's original traveler-facing business instead.
