Nice to try to create something, but based on the price I would not recommend that to anyone:

For example, with a day pass in France, 1gb per day for 30 days so around 30gb for the month is like 50$.

To compare, here you could have 50gb for a month with a throwable sim for a 15e maximum. If you take subscription for a little longer, for around 20euros monthly you will have 300 or unlimited gb of data+ unlimited calls and SMS.

The rate difference looks like to be the same for other countries I know where I had to use a temporary sim.

Hi! I’ve used three different companies to buy eSIMs in the past, but each time I traveled to a new country in the region, like when I visited cities in Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, I had to buy a new eSIM and switch them manually on my phone. It was quite a hassle. If I understand correctly, does your service offer a universal eSIM that allows me to simply purchase a plan for the country I’m visiting without needing to manually switch eSIMs, while keeping prices competitive with other providers?

Congratulations on your launch,

Would this work for a cruise, in international waters and visiting few different countries?

Congrats on the launch. How does this compare to Airalo. Your contact us page also does not work.
