Traveling abroad is an exhilarating experience, but the sting of unexpected roaming fees can quickly dampen the excitement. Traditional roaming charges from your home carrier can pile up, especially when you’re using data for navigation, social media, or staying connected with loved ones. Fortunately, Try Ajo’s eSIM technology offers a cost-effective, seamless solution to avoid these hefty fees while keeping you connected in over 20 countries. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore how Try Ajo’s eSIM can save you money, how it works, and practical tips to maximize your savings on international trips.
Roaming fees are additional charges your mobile carrier imposes when you use your phone outside your home network. These fees cover the cost of “renting” a foreign network to maintain calls, texts, and data services. Without a plan, costs can spiral out of control—sometimes reaching $5-$10 per day or more for minimal data usage. For example, streaming a short video or using GPS navigation can consume significant data, leading to a bill that rivals the cost of your plane ticket.
The good news? Try Ajo’s eSIM eliminates the need for expensive roaming plans by connecting you directly to local networks at affordable rates. Let’s dive into how this works and why it’s a game-changer for travelers.
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM card built into your smartphone, tablet, or other compatible device. Unlike physical SIM cards, eSIMs allow you to download and activate mobile plans without swapping cards or visiting a store. This means you can switch to a local or regional data plan in seconds, avoiding the high costs of roaming.
Try Ajo takes this technology to the next level by offering:
Instant Connectivity: Activate your eSIM in minutes via a QR code, without waiting for a physical SIM or dealing with language barriers at local stores.
Coverage in 20+ Countries: Try Ajo partners with top local networks from Europe to Asia to ensure reliable, high-speed data wherever you go.
Affordable Plans: Choose flexible data plans tailored to your trip, often costing a fraction of traditional roaming fees.
User-Friendly Experience: Try Ajo’s intuitive app lets you manage your plan, track data usage, and top up effortlessly.
For instance, while your home carrier might charge $70 for a week of roaming in Italy, Try Ajo’s eSIM could provide unlimited data for as little as $15—leaving you with extra cash for gelato or souvenirs.
Here’s how Try Ajo’s eSIM helps you keep your travel budget in check:
With Try Ajo, you connect to local networks as if you were a resident of the country you’re visiting. This eliminates the exorbitant fees charged by your home carrier for international roaming. For example, a Try Ajo eSIM plan in Spain might cost $10 for 5GB of data, compared to $50 or more for a similar amount through roaming.
Try Ajo offers a range of plans to suit different travel needs, from short weekend getaways to month-long adventures. You can select daily, weekly, or monthly plans with varying data allowances, ensuring you only pay for what you need. Frequent travelers can opt for multi-country plans that work seamlessly across borders, perfect for Euro-tripping or exploring Southeast Asia.
Unlike traditional roaming, where background data usage can lead to unexpected charges, Try Ajo’s prepaid eSIM plans are transparent. You pay upfront for your data, and the Try Ajo app helps you monitor usage in real-time, so you’re never caught off guard.
With Try Ajo’s eSIM, you can use data via the eSIM while keeping your primary SIM active for calls and texts. This dual-SIM functionality means you stay reachable on your usual number (via apps like WhatsApp) while enjoying affordable data, avoiding costly international call or text rates.
Buying a local SIM card often involves navigating unfamiliar stores, language barriers, and lengthy activation processes. Try Ajo’s eSIM is purchased and activated online, saving you time and money. Plus, there’s no risk of losing your home SIM card during travel.
Getting started with Try Ajo’s eSIM is simple and takes just a few minutes. Follow these steps to save on roaming fees:
Check Device Compatibility
Ensure your device supports eSIM technology. Most modern smartphones, including iPhone XR and later, Google Pixel 4 and newer, and Samsung Galaxy S20 and above, are eSIM-compatible. Dial *#06# on your phone to check for an EID number, which confirms eSIM support. Try Ajo’s website also offers a compatibility checker.
Choose Your Plan
Visit tryajo.com or download the Try Ajo app to browse plans for your destination. Select a plan based on your data needs and travel duration. For example, a 10GB plan for a two-week trip to France might cost just $20.
Purchase and Install
After purchasing, you’ll receive a QR code via email or the app. Go to your phone’s settings, select “Cellular” (iOS) or “Network & Internet” (Android), and scan the QR code to add a new mobile plan. Follow the prompts to install the eSIM.
Activate Before or Upon Arrival
You can activate your eSIM at home using Wi-Fi or wait until you land at your destination. Try Ajo’s quick activation ensures you’re online within minutes of arrival, ready to use maps, book rides, or share your adventures.
Manage Data Usage
Use the Try Ajo app to monitor your data consumption and top up if needed. Disable data roaming on your primary SIM to avoid accidental charges from your home carrier.
Switch Back When You Return
Once you’re home, return to your phone’s settings to deactivate the eSIM and switch back to your primary SIM. Try Ajo’s eSIM profiles can be stored for future trips, making reactivation a breeze.
To stretch your travel budget even further, combine Try Ajo’s eSIM with these money-saving strategies:
Use Wi-Fi When Available: Connect to secure Wi-Fi networks at hotels, cafes, or airports for data-heavy tasks like video streaming or large downloads. This preserves your eSIM data for when you’re on the go.
Enable Data Saver Mode: Turn on Data Saver mode on your phone to limit background data usage by apps like social media or email.
Prioritize Text-Based Apps: Use WhatsApp, iMessage, or other internet-based apps for calls and texts instead of traditional SMS or voice calls, which may incur fees on your primary SIM.
Download Offline Content: To reduce data usage, save maps, playlists, or travel guides offline before your trip.
Monitor Usage Regularly: Check the Try Ajo app to track your data and avoid overuse. If you’re running low, top up with a small plan instead of relying on expensive roaming.
Let’s break down the cost savings with a real-world example:
