Title: Firsty eSim could be the perfect travel backup sim: free and permanent internet access worldwide, albeit with restrictions
Post by: Redaktion on February 19, 2024, 11:52:15
E-Sims have made our globetrotting lives much easier over the last couple of years. There are now hundreds of choices for all scenarios, yet a Dutch start-up  wants to make global internet completely free and even easier for everyone. An initial test of Firsty Free and Firsty Fast shows an interesting approach, although you the free option is quite limited and the fast one isn't the best deal for everyone.

I pay $30 for an entire year of roaming across 80 countries on my daily SIM. Why bother?

Does it come with a phone number and calls or is it a data only sim?

I did test free plan in Bulgaria, speed is 300kbit/s which is not so bad. Paid plan is for 2euros per day here.

Great insights! I completely agree that having a reliable internet connection while traveling can make a huge difference, especially in places like New Zealand where you don't want to miss out on planning or local experiences. eSim seems like a smart way to stay connected without the hassle of roaming fees. I also love finding ways to explore affordably, and tips like these really complement other budget travel strategies. By the way, if anyone enjoys cultural stops while traveling, the  is a hidden gem worth checking out—it's a perfect mix of art and entertainment without breaking the bank.
