Holafly Plans: The Best eSIM Plan for Long Term Travelers

There are a lot of eSIM companies in the world. They all work a similar way: you download their app, pick your package, install the eSIM into your smartphone, and off you go. There’s many I like.

But one I like more than the rest is Holafly and I’ve been using their eSIMs for years. I find their app to be easy to use and their rates really competitive.

So when Holafly launched Holafly Plans, a single eSIM that works as an ongoing subscription across 160+ destinations, I was excited. It’s a great option for those who are looking for more data and flexibility than a traditional eSIM. (An eSIM is a digital SIM built directly into your phone’s hardware, so there’s no physical card to insert or swap. Instead of visiting a shop for a plastic SIM, you activate a plan by scanning a QR code or installing it through an app, and you’re connected within minutes. Because it’s software-based, a single phone can hold multiple eSIMs, letting you switch betw

In this post, I’m going to explain what the product is, how it’s different than a traditional eSIM, and who I think this option is for!

Holafly Plans is a single global eSIM that covers more than 160 destinations on one ongoing subscription. You buy it once, install it once, and it just keeps working as you move from country to country. You don’t reswap SIMs, you don’t redownload anything, there’s no re-purchasing, and no hunting for a new QR code every time you land somewhere new.

It automatically reconnects you when you land in a new place. Think of it as like a traditional mobile carrier – but a lot cheaper.

You can buy it monthly or annually and it comes in two tiers: Light and Unlimited. There’s no annual contract and you can cancel any time.

The Unlimited Plan includes no data caps and an unlimited hotspot so you can tether your laptop on the go. If you’re a digital nomad uploading video, doing video calls, or just someone who doesn’t want to think about data ever again, this is a great add-on. This tier also comes with a local phone number from the US, UK, or Canada, which lets you receive SMS messages.

The Light Plan gives you 25GB of data a month, still includes a hotspot, and still covers the same 160+ destination coverage. For someone who mostly uses maps, messaging apps, and the occasional Instagram scroll, this package is probably the best option.

Additionally, with both Holafly Plans, once your plan is active, you get their “Always On” feature which is 1GB of backup data every month, automatically for life, even if you eventually cancel your subscription entirely.

Pricing varies a bit by region and currency and depending on how long you purchase, so check out their current rates on the Holafly Plans page. However, as an example, their unlimited plan is only $55 USD per month for 1 year, which is a lot cheaper than any US based carrier charges for their base option that includes unlimited 5G data overseas.  You can get monthly, quarterly, or yearly plans. Quarterly plans save approximately 10% while yearly plans save 15%.
