Your Global eSIM, explained
The Roamly Global plan is built for round-the-world travel, covering roughly 159 countries on a single eSIM. The same profile connects to AT&T and T-Mobile in the US, Deutsche Telekom and Orange across Europe, NTT Docomo in Japan, Etisalat in the UAE, and Vodacom in South Africa, all without swapping anything. For digital nomads and multi-continent trips, this is the one eSIM that follows you from London to Bangkok to Sydney, which beats buying a separate regional plan at every leg of an open-ended itinerary.
Because it's so broad, two things to watch. First, China and a few restricted markets behave differently, so check whether mainland China is included and whether you'll need a VPN there. Second, global plans typically price data higher than a single-country plan, so if you're parked in one place for a while, a local plan is cheaper, the Global plan earns its keep when you're constantly moving. Confirm your key countries are on the list before relying on it. Every Roamly plan is 30% off right now.

Global eSIM — FAQ
How much does an eSIM for Global cost?
Plans for Global start from $7.99, with larger and unlimited options available. Every plan already has a 30% discount applied.
Which networks will I connect to in Global?
Your eSIM connects to leading local carriers in Global, using 5G where it's available, so you get data just like a local SIM.
When should I install my Global eSIM?
Install it as soon as you buy. Most plans only start counting once you arrive in Global and connect to a local network, so installing early is safe.
Will my phone work with an eSIM in Global?
If your phone is eSIM-compatible (most models from 2019 onward) and carrier-unlocked, it will work in Global.
Can I make calls with the eSIM in Global?
Our travel eSIMs are data-only, but you can call and message over the internet using apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Telegram while connected in Global.
Is the Global plan worth it if I'm staying in one country?
Usually not. For a single destination, a country or regional plan gives more data for the money. The Global plan pays off when you're crossing many countries on one trip and want one eSIM that works everywhere without reconfiguring.
Does the Global plan cover China and other restricted countries?
Often, but verify before you go. Even where mainland China is included, networks like China Mobile block Western apps, so install a VPN in advance. A handful of sanctioned countries may be excluded from the 159 covered.
