01 Overview

Abroadmode is a travel connectivity blog. We compare eSIM data plans by destination, work out when an eSIM beats roaming, and explain setup. To keep the site running, we take part in partner programs run by eSIM providers, such as Saily, Airalo, Holafly, aloSIM, Nomad and Ubigi, handled through affiliate networks such as Impact. This page lays out how these partnerships work and what they mean for our content. We disclose all of it to our readers.

06 Our Review Process

When reviewing products on Abroadmode: Testing: We personally test most products we review. When we haven't tested a product ourselves, we clearly state this and base our assessment on extensive research, manufacturer specifications, and verified customer reviews. Selection: We choose products to review based on reader interest and relevance, not affiliate commission rates. We often review products with lower commissions because they're better value for our readers. Updates: We update our reviews when products change or when we have new information. Prices and availability are subject to change, so always verify current details on Amazon.

07 Important Disclaimers

Plan details: We aim for accurate figures, but eSIM providers change prices, data allowances, validity periods and coverage constantly. Always check the current conditions directly on the provider's website before buying. Coverage and speed: Which local networks an eSIM uses and how fast the connection is depends on the provider, the country, the region and your device. Provider coverage claims are reference points, not a promise for your exact location. Device compatibility: Not every phone supports eSIM, and some devices are carrier-locked. Check that your device is eSIM-capable and unlocked before you buy. Many providers do not refund a purchased data package. Local rules: Some countries have SIM registration requirements or restrictions on certain internet services. Our content is buying advice and does not replace legal advice. Check with an official source before you travel. No guarantees: Our provider assessments reflect our honest opinion based on our comparisons and research. Your experience on the ground can differ. We cannot guarantee that a plan will suit your specific trip.
