The best eSIM for traveling as a family

The classic family question: one eSIM per phone, or mom/dad's hotspot for everyone? Short answer: at least two independent lines, and the rest via hotspot. Here is why.

Why not depend on a single hotspot

If the whole family hangs off one phone, that phone dies by mid-afternoon — and if the group splits (one to the museum, others to the park), half of you goes offline. With two lines, each subgroup navigates on its own.

The second-line discount

At VoaSim, the second eSIM in the same purchase gets an extra 10% off. Two unlimiteds cost less than two separate purchases and eliminate hotspot management.

The kids' phones

Teens with their own phone: the parents' hotspot is enough (and as a bonus, the internet goes off when the hotspot goes off — analog parental control). If they will move around alone, give them their own line.

The anti-getting-lost insurance

With data, shared location (Google Maps / Find My) works all day: everyone sees where everyone is. It is the argument that most reassures families in big cities.

Frequently asked questions

How many eSIMs does a family of 4 need?
Two is usually the sweet spot: one per adult, kids on hotspot. If teenagers move around on their own, a line of their own.
Is there a discount for buying several eSIMs?
Yes: at VoaSim the second eSIM in the same purchase gets an extra 10% off.
Is the hotspot enough for the kids at the hotel?
For social media and videos at the hotel, yes. The limits are the sharing phone's battery and the group staying together: that is why the baseline is two independent lines.
