Earlier this summer, I traveled to Spain and stayed for nearly a full month. This was the longest vacation I’d ever been on, previously I’d never traveled anywhere for more than a week. I have Verizion so normally when outside the country, I just pay the $10 a day for expanded coverage. But for a full month, we’re now talking hundreds of dollars — there had to be a better option. Well that’s the magic of eSIMs. Full cellular and data plans in the country you’re staying in for significantly less and without having to install any new hardware. aloSIM is offering a $50 credit for just $35 right now over at StackSocial.

Cell phone charges are one of those expensive that’s easy to forget to consider when planning a trip. You’ve got your plane tickets, your hotel, but phone bill can come out of nowhere and surprise you with another few hundred bucks if you’re not careful.
aloSIM will let you add data wherever you want and avoid roaming charges. The service’s prepaid data packages start at just $4.50 per week, so with this credit you could be covered for up to 11 weeks of vacation data or more.
Supported countries include France, the United States, Japan, Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom, and much much more. You can check out the full list of countries here.
Worth noting that this offer is exclusive to new customers only. If you have used aloSIM already, you will not be able to redeem the credit under your existing account. Digital redemption is instant, so if you have a flight you’re already on your way to catch later today, you’ll already be covered. Once you add the $50 credit, you will have up to 12 months to use it before it expires so go ahead and book that trip to Thailand you’ve been talking about doing for forever.
How Does the Data Plan Work?
Once you purchase a country or region specific plan, you’ll get a free phone number via Hushed for the duration equal to the plan you had purchased, so a seven day eSIM plan get’s seven days with that new phone number.
Important to know that the data does expire and cannot carry over. So if you purchase a package that still have a few unused gigabytes at the end of your stay, you will not be able to transfer it over to your next trip.
If you’ve got a trip planned for later this year or early next, do yourself a favor and prepare for your data plan now. Get $50 in aloSIM credit for just $35 at StackSocial.
