HolaFly eSIM Review: Unlimited Data Plans for Globe-Trotters

HolaFly eSIM Review: Unlimited Data Plans for Globe-Trotters

Holafly covers more than 250 destinations, spanning six regions: Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America, and Oceania. The service offers unlimited data in over 99.9% of its destinations, though speeds and network quality depend on the local provider. Holafly doesn’t guarantee connection availability, and its terms note that “unlimited” plans may be subject to fair use policies and potential speed reductions depending on the carrier.

In the US, Holafly plans start at $6.90 for one day of service for a single user. Per-day prices drop if you buy a longer-term plan. For example, a two-day US plan costs $9.90 ($4.95 per day), while a 30-day plan is $74.90 ($2.50 per day). A 90-day plan costs $139.90, which brings the daily rate down to just $1.55. The process to buy a plan is straightforward: Choose your destination, select your travel dates, and decide how many eSIMs you need. Holafly supports purchases for multiple travelers in one order.

Holafly’s US pricing is more expensive than other data-only service providers like GigSky (1 day for $4.99, unlimited data), Nomad (1 day for $4.00, 1GB plus unlimited data at 512Kbps), and Saily (1 day for $3.99, limited to 1GB).

You can purchase global data by the day, and the more you buy, the cheaper it gets. A one-day global unlimited data plan costs $9.90, a 10-day plan costs $64.90 ($6.49 per day), and a 30-day plan costs $162.90 ($5.43 per day). But if you need more than a few weeks, Holafly also offers monthly global plans at a much lower cost: 10GB for $39.90, 25GB for $49.90, or an unlimited global data plan that’s currently listed at a “launch price” of $64.90 per month. Holafly wouldn’t elaborate on how long the launch price will be valid or what its service will cost after the promotional period ends. The company says you can cancel a monthly plan at any time, but check the terms and conditions for the specifics to avoid any billing surprises.

For comparison, GigSky offers 5GB for 30 days at $77.49, while Nomad’s global plans offer 5GB for 30 days at $36. Holafly does not have similar data caps, and its unlimited worldwide plan means globe-trotters are always covered wherever they go.

Holafly does not include a phone number with its plans; it strictly sells data-only eSIMs. The Holafly website is laid out clearly and includes details like its global network partners under each plan’s Technical Specs section. In the US, Holafly uses a combination of T-Mobile and Verizon’s networks.

Once you’ve installed and activated an eSIM on your device, you can’t transfer it. You can store an unactivated Holafly eSIM on your device indefinitely, but once activated, the validity period starts immediately and cannot be paused.

As with other eSIM providers, to use Holafly, your phone must be unlocked and eSIM compatible. Most recent models from Apple, Samsung, and Google support eSIM, but it’s best to check Holafly’s compatibility page if you’re unsure. If you mistakenly attempt to install an eSIM on a locked or incompatible device, Holafly will issue a refund. The company’s generous six-month refund policy also covers cases where you no longer need the service or encounter connection issues at your destination. For help, Holafly offers 24/7 support via live chat and a WhatsApp contact number at the top of its website.
