As long as we continue to travel the world, we will continue to use eSIMs. Because no one wants high roaming costs and we all want to stay connected. There is nothing better than getting connected to a local network quickly and easily at local costs and aloSIM is one of those eSIM providers that make this happen.
aloSIM is a travel app made by people who love to travel. That sounds good because as travelers they probably know the struggles you can have connecting to a network and having data on your phone when you arrive in a new country. So at Traveltomtom we were extra curious if aloSIM is able to offer what we as travelers need.
Therefore the Traveltomtom Team dove right into it and tested and reviewed aloSIM. Here are our experiences.
