International travel is exciting, but staying connected abroad can sometimes be challenging. Finding a local SIM card, dealing with international roaming charges, or depending on public Wi-Fi can make travel less convenient.
An international travel eSIM from Jetpac, available through Multimoney, provides a convenient digital solution for staying connected while travelling abroad. With a compatible smartphone, travellers can purchase a suitable data plan, install the eSIM digitally, and access mobile data at their destination.
Through its partnership with Jetpac, Multimoney helps travellers access international eSIM connectivity across 100+ countries, making it easier to navigate, communicate, work, and manage travel plans while abroad.
What Is a Global eSIM?
A Global eSIM is a digital SIM that allows a compatible smartphone to connect to mobile data networks without requiring a physical SIM card.
Instead of purchasing and inserting a local SIM every time you visit another country, you can install a travel eSIM digitally. You can prepare the eSIM before your journey and activate it according to the plan instructions when you arrive.
Your existing SIM and phone number can remain active, subject to your device and carrier configuration, while the travel eSIM is used for mobile data.
Why Use a Travel eSIM?
Staying connected is important for almost every international traveller. Mobile data is useful for navigation, messaging, online bookings, ride-hailing, work, travel updates, and much more.
A travel eSIM from Jetpac can help reduce some of the common challenges associated with international connectivity, including:
- Searching for a local SIM after landing
- Waiting at airport SIM counters
- Carrying multiple physical SIM cards
- Depending entirely on public Wi-Fi
- Managing international roaming costs
- Losing mobile connectivity when travelling between destinations
With a digital eSIM, you can prepare your connectivity before your trip and activate the service according to your plan when you reach your destination.

This allows you to continue using services such as WhatsApp with your existing number while accessing internet connectivity through the travel eSIM.
Who Can Benefit From a Travel eSIM?
Business Travellers
For business travellers, reliable connectivity is important for emails, meetings, navigation, cloud applications, and communication.
A travel eSIM can help you access mobile data when you arrive instead of depending entirely on airport or hotel Wi-Fi.
Frequent and Corporate Travellers
Frequent international travellers may visit several countries throughout the year. Managing physical SIM cards for every destination can become inconvenient.
A Jetpac eSIM provides a digital connectivity option that can simplify travel preparation and help travellers stay connected across supported destinations.
Leisure Travellers and Families
Travellers and families can use mobile data for maps, messaging, bookings, ride-hailing, restaurant searches, travel updates, and communication.
Having mobile data available when you arrive can make it easier to navigate a new destination without immediately searching for a local SIM card.
How Does a Travel eSIM Work?
Using a travel eSIM involves three simple steps.
1. Check Your Device Compatibility
First, check whether your smartphone supports eSIM technology.
Many modern iPhone and Android devices support eSIM, but compatibility can vary depending on the model and region.
2. Choose Your Travel Plan
Select your destination or region and choose a plan based on:
- Data allowance
- Destination coverage
- Validity period
- Expected usage
- Duration of your trip
Choosing the right plan helps ensure you have sufficient data throughout your journey.
3. Scan and Connect
After purchasing the plan, you receive a QR code and installation instructions.
Scan the QR code using your compatible smartphone and follow the on-screen instructions to install the eSIM.
You can install the eSIM before your trip and activate the mobile data service according to the instructions provided with your plan.
Travel eSIM vs International Roaming
International roaming and travel eSIMs are both options for staying connected abroad, but they work differently.
With international roaming, your existing mobile operator provides connectivity while you are outside your home country under its applicable roaming plan.
With a travel eSIM, you purchase a separate prepaid data plan designed for international travel.
A travel eSIM can provide a convenient alternative for travellers who want a separate prepaid data plan for their trip. The right option depends on your destination, data requirements, pricing, device compatibility, and existing carrier plan.
Can You Use WhatsApp With a Travel eSIM?
Yes. A travel eSIM can provide mobile data while you continue using WhatsApp with your existing phone number, subject to your device and carrier configuration.
This means you can continue messaging family, friends, colleagues, or customers through WhatsApp while using the travel eSIM’s mobile data connection.
You do not necessarily need to change your WhatsApp number simply because you are using a travel eSIM for data.
When Should You Install Your eSIM?
You can install your eSIM before leaving for your trip so that it is ready when you arrive.
However, installation and activation are not necessarily the same thing. Follow the instructions provided with your specific Jetpac plan to understand when your data service should be activated.
It is also recommended to check your smartphone’s eSIM compatibility before travelling rather than waiting until you reach your destination.
