I used aloSIM on three continents (Europe, Asia, South America) and the experience was excellent. Quick installation, good coverage everywhere, and support helped me instantly when I had a question. Definitely my favorite eSIM now.

Really simple and well-designed app for travelers. I activated my eSIM for France in under 2 minutes, 5G speed was excellent, and the free number offered is a real plus. Very competitive prices compared to my old roaming charges.

aloSIM works very well for my international trips. The support chat is responsive and kind. My only complaint: installation on Android requires some fiddling, but it's really worth it for the prices offered.

First eSIM trial with aloSIM in Italy and Spain. After a slight ramp-up at the start, everything went smoothly. Clear interface, easy to top-up via the app, and really good prices. Only downside: sometimes uneven speeds depending on the region, but overall satisfied.

I tried several eSIMs and aloSIM remains my favorite. The support is really above average, prices unbeatable, and coverage reliable in 95% of cases. The free number is the cherry on top for emergencies or booking confirmations.

Description

aloSIM is a Canadian eSIM app founded in 2022 that offers prepaid data plans in over 200 countries and regions. The app allows travelers to access local mobile data without roaming fees, with flexible plans from 7 days up to one year starting at €4.50 per gigabyte. Especially suited for frequent travelers, digital nomads, and occasional tourists, aloSIM offers regional and local packages, instant installation via QR code, and a free included international phone number. Its intuitive interface and 24/7 support team make it a competitive choice in the eSIM market, with strong ratings on Trustpilot (4.2/5) and app stores (4.5/5 App Store, 4.0/5 Google Play).

How it works

Go to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) and download the free aloSIM app. Make sure your phone supports eSIM technology by using the device checker available on the official site.

Open the app and sign up with your email address or log in via Apple ID or Google. Complete your profile with the required basic information.

Browse the available countries or regions and choose a plan suitable for your trip (data volume, duration, price). aloSIM offers local, regional, or global plans starting at €4.50.

Select the desired plan and pay via Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal. Your order is instantly confirmed.

The app displays a QR code to scan. Follow the instructions to validate the installation of the eSIM profile. For iOS, it's very simple; for Android, you may need to go through Network settings.

Before leaving, go to Settings > Mobile Data and ensure roaming is activated for your aloSIM plan. You can keep your physical SIM as your main plan.

Upon arrival at your destination, simply activate your aloSIM plan from the app or go to Settings > Mobile Data plan. The local connection will establish automatically within seconds.

⚠️ If it fails

✅ Check that your phone is eSIM compatible via the official checker. If on Android, try accessing your account through the website, then scan the QR code from the app. Contact support via in-app chat if the issue persists.

✅ Toggle Airplane mode on/off, verify that data roaming is enabled in Settings, ensure your plan is selected as the primary plan, and restart your phone. Wait 30 seconds for local network connection.

✅ Check real-time consumption in the aloSIM app. Disable automatic app updates, limit high-resolution video streaming, and identify data-hungry apps via your phone settings.

✅ The free number included with aloSIM is provided via Hushed, a partner app. Make sure you accepted the terms, download Hushed, and follow activation. aloSIM support can assist via chat if Hushed does not work.
