Ubigi: Travel eSIM & data plan

Travel data without changing your main SIM

Ubigi: Travel eSIM & data plan gives travellers mobile data through an eSIM, a digital SIM built into compatible phones and tablets. It suits people who want to stay online abroad while keeping their usual SIM available for calls and texts. The app is published by Transatel and listed in Travel & Local.

Where it differs from roaming

Ubigi lets you choose a prepaid data plan for your destination rather than relying on your home operator’s roaming arrangement. Plans cover more than 200 destinations, with options that include 5G access and unlimited data. You can also use the connection as a hotspot, which may help when travelling with another device or person.

Useful controls while you travel

The app is built around managing the eSIM after setup. You can buy another plan, add data, and check consumption from the same account. A top-up does not require swapping a physical SIM, and the service is intended for travellers, remote workers, and anyone moving between countries who wants one travel data option instead of separate local SIMs.

The trade-off to check first

An eSIM only helps if your device supports eSIMs and your destination is covered by the selected plan. It is mainly a data solution, so people looking for a local phone number or a traditional physical SIM may prefer a local operator instead. Ubigi has 1,000,000+ installs and a 3.4 rating from 5,414 reviews, useful context when weighing convenience against the limits of a travel-focused service.
