What is PingRoam?
What is PingRoam?
PingRoam is a connectivity platform for travelers operated by TechHealth, LLC. It does not own its own mobile network: connectivity is provided by the eSIM Access partner. The service allows you to choose, buy, and manage prepaid mobile data plans from the website or app. PingRoam offers plans for a single country, regional and multi-country plans, as well as a global plan. The catalogue ranges from 100MB to 100GB, with validity from 1 to 365 days. Plans are data-only and do not include a phone number, calls, or traditional SMS. After purchase on the site, the QR code is sent by email and appears in the dashboard. The user installs the eSIM profile on a compatible device, then activates the travel line and data roaming upon arrival. The main SIM can remain active in dual SIM for regular calls and SMS.
