New Pay As You Go, now in 180+ countries

Only pay for the data you actually use. Nothing else.

One eSIM, no plan to pick. Top up once and your credit comes off by the megabyte at the local rate, wherever you land. Nothing expires, nothing renews, and you can see every charge as it happens.

How it works

Three steps, then forget about it.

No plan to size, no add-on to buy at the border, nothing to cancel when you get home.

Step one

Add credit

Start at $10, or add $25, $50 or $100. The balance is yours, it carries between countries and trips, and it never expires.

Step two

Scan the QR once

One eSIM installs in a minute and stays on your phone. The same one works in Tokyo as in Mexico City, so there is nothing to redo at a border.

Step three

Just use data

You attach to a local network and pay its rate by the megabyte. Watch it live in your account, or ignore it and let it run.

Made concrete

What that actually costs.

Per-megabyte pricing is hard to picture, so here is a real day in Portugal at $1.31 / GB.

Why bother

Against a data bucket.

Pay As You Go is not always cheaper. It is better when your trip is unpredictable.

A fixed data plan
You guess up front
Pick a size before you have left the house
Unused gigabytes expire with the plan
A new plan to buy at every border
Runs out at the worst possible moment
Pay As You Go
You pay for what happened
No size to choose, ever
Credit never expires and rolls to the next trip
One eSIM across every country we cover
Top up in seconds, or set it to refill itself

Streaming 10 GB in one country over one week? A fixed bucket for that country may still cost less. We sell both.

No surprises

It cannot run away from you.

Metered billing has one famous failure mode. This one has no bill to arrive.

It stops at zero

When the credit runs out, data stops. Nothing is billed afterwards, because there is no account to run a debt against.

Two warnings first

A heads-up at $5 left and a final one at $1, so you top up on purpose rather than finding out at an airport gate.

Auto top-up, if you want

Set a floor and an amount and it refills itself, three times a day at most. Your card is held by our payment provider, never by us. Off whenever you like.

Questions

Before you load $10.

What happens to credit I do not spend?

It stays on your balance. No expiry date and no monthly fee eating into it, so a leftover $6 from Portugal is still $6 when you land in Vietnam next year. It is not refundable to your card, so load what you expect to travel on.

How much data does $10 buy?

It depends where you are, which is the honest answer to a question most plans dodge. In Türkiye $10 goes a long way; in the priciest markets it covers far less. Every country's rate is published above and in your account before you travel.

Do I need a new eSIM in each country?

No. You install one eSIM, once. It stays on your phone and connects in every country we cover, with nothing to re-buy or re-scan when you land.

Can I get a surprise bill?

No, because nothing is billed after the fact. You spend credit you already paid for, and data stops when it reaches zero. Auto top-up, if you turn it on, is capped at your chosen amount and three charges a day.

Which phones work?

Any eSIM-capable phone that is not carrier-locked: iPhone XS and newer, recent Pixels, and most flagship Android handsets from the last few years. Your account checks compatibility before you claim the eSIM.

$10, and you stop guessing.

Load a balance, scan one QR code, and pay for exactly the data you use. Whatever is left is still there next trip.
