Roambit

A straightforward eSIM seller built around the app

Roambit is an eSIM provider selling travel data plans through its mobile app. The company operates esim.roambit.io as its primary storefront and emphasizes fast setup through QR-code scanning and app-based management. The site promises activation within seconds once a QR code is scanned, positioning itself as simpler than shopping for a local SIM card at the airport. There is no mention of who owns or operates Roambit itself, beyond the fact that it is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Customer testimonials from app store reviews praise the service for its convenience and lack of monthly commitments, with one highlighted review noting that users can "only top up when I need data and keep going" without recurring charges.

Pricing shaped around per-gigabyte bundles and unlimited plans

Roambit structures most of its pricing as a pay-per-gigabyte model, with rates varying by destination. For individual countries, prices range from $0.39 per gigabyte in Turkey and the United States to $2.39 per gigabyte in Oceania and $2.99 per gigabyte in the Balkans. Popular destinations like Italy, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom are priced at $0.47 per gigabyte. Japan and South Korea cost $0.59 per gigabyte. Brazil and Thailand are $0.99 per gigabyte, while Morocco and Bosnia and Herzegovina are $0.79 per gigabyte. Egypt is $0.59 per gigabyte, and Saudi Arabia is $0.99 per gigabyte. Mexico costs $0.69 per gigabyte.

The site also offers regional multi-country bundles at a fixed per-gigabyte rate, which can be more economical for travelers covering several nations in one region. Europe covers 36 countries at $0.49 per gigabyte; Asia covers 24 countries at $0.49 per gigabyte; North America spans 3 countries at $0.49 per gigabyte. South America (12 countries) is $0.99 per gigabyte. The Caribbean (25 countries) is $0.80 per gigabyte. The Middle East (10 countries) is $0.69 per gigabyte. Africa (15 countries) is $1.19 per gigabyte. The Balkans region (7 countries) is priced at $2.99 per gigabyte. These regional rates allow travelers to pick a plan that covers their intended itinerary without buying individual country eSIMs.

A global plan covering 94 countries is available from $0.99 per gigabyte, making it a middle-ground option for travelers who do not know their exact route in advance. The site also markets unlimited-data plans, advertising "Unlimited connectivity" and "Never run out of data with unlimited connectivity." A 15-day trip plan with unlimited data and a 30-day unlimited-data option are both shown on the pricing page, though the site does not publish the throttle speed or any fair-use limit beyond the claim of unlimited connectivity itself. The unlimited offerings appeal to travelers who want predictable costs without tracking gigabytes, though without speed details there is no way to know if the connection will be fast enough for video calls or only suitable for messaging and email.

Coverage across 190+ countries on unnamed networks

The site states that Roambit's eSIMs provide "Global Connection: Stay connected in over 190 countries with a single eSIM." Individual destination pages are available for popular countries including Turkey, Japan, Italy, the United States, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Spain, Morocco, and others. The site provides a searchable country list and the regional breakdown mentioned above. However, the captured content does not name any specific mobile networks or carriers that underlie these plans. The site mentions Roambit uses "trusted networks" but provides no detail on which carriers operate the connectivity.

App-first setup and data-only service

All eSIM setup happens through Roambit's mobile app or via QR code. After purchase, customers receive a QR code, scan it in their phone's settings to add the eSIM, and activate the plan in seconds according to the site's description. The eSIM activates when the QR code is scanned and remains valid for 180 days before the subscription itself must be used. This is a data-only service; the plan does not include a phone number for standard voice calls or SMS. Customers can still use internet-based apps like WhatsApp without needing a new phone number.

The site supports dual-SIM phones, so travelers can keep their primary SIM active while using Roambit's eSIM for data. Roambit notifies users when data is running low. The site states that once an eSIM is purchased, there is no expiration on the data itself, buy now and activate whenever during that 180-day window. Top-ups are not explicitly detailed on the captured pages, though the site describes the ability to manage multiple plans. Device compatibility is not detailed, though eSIMs work on most modern phones and tablets. Support is available 24/7, and the site offers a guide on how to use the app.

The site does not clarify data speeds or hotspot policy

Roambit does not publish download speeds, throttle speeds, or fair-use limits beyond the stated "unlimited" claim. There is no information on whether the eSIM supports hotspot tethering or other advanced features. The site makes no mention of specific carrier partnerships or which networks actually provide the service in each country, making it impossible to know in advance which carriers you will connect to before arrival. The 180-day activation window is also a limitation: the eSIM must be activated within that window or it expires unused, which is a consideration for travelers planning far in advance.

The app itself emphasizes simplicity: after installing an eSIM through your phone's settings with the QR code, you manage everything within the Roambit app, including monitoring when data is running low. The interface shows visual notifications when data is nearly depleted, giving travelers a heads-up before they lose connectivity. The site does not clearly detail top-up procedures or costs, though it suggests that additional gigabytes can be purchased mid-trip through the app once the original allocation is consumed. Since this is a data-only service with no phone line, travelers cannot receive SMS-based authentication codes or voice calls, which means services requiring phone verification (banks, two-factor authentication) would need to be pre-configured before departure.

This setup suits travelers who have compatible dual-SIM phones and want a simple app-based purchase process without carrier negotiation. The ability to buy now and use later within the 180-day window makes it flexible for those who are not sure of travel dates yet. It does not work for older devices or Android phones that lack eSIM support, and it requires an internet connection to install (via Wi-Fi before departure) since eSIM profiles are digital downloads rather than physical cards.
