Frequently asked questions
Answers from the SkipRoam homepage. Published by BLAZE.
Is a travel eSIM cheaper than roaming?
Usually yes — a 10 GB travel eSIM typically costs a fraction of daily roaming passes from home carriers. Heavy users should still compare per-GB prices.
When should I install my travel eSIM?
Install it at home on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly, but keep it switched off until you land, because many plans start their validity on first connection.
Is 'unlimited' eSIM data really unlimited?
Rarely. Most unlimited plans slow you down after a daily fair-use cap (often 1–5 GB/day) and limit hotspot use. Check the cap before you buy.
