See the exact price for your dates
Holafly built its name on "unlimited" travel eSIMs sold by destination. It works for a lot of travelers. But plenty of people search for an alternative because they want to read the usage conditions before they fly, or because they want one flat price instead of a different price per country.
This page is a model comparison, not a lab speed test. We compare how the offers are built — pricing, limits, support, refunds — and we say clearly when another option is the smarter pick for you.
Why people look for a Holafly alternative
The reasons repeat in forums and in our inbox:
- Fine print on "unlimited". Several unlimited-style plans, Holafly included, describe usage conditions and tethering limits in their terms. That is legal and normal — but you should read them before you land.
- Price changes by destination. Many brands price Japan differently from Mexico. If you hop between regions, budgeting gets messy.
- Hotspot rules. Sharing data with a laptop or a travel partner is often restricted.
- Support when the signal drops. The moment that matters is the airport arrival, not the sales page.
VoaSim's answer is simple: truly unlimited data, with no cap, no throttling and no hidden fair-use policy, and one price per duration that does not change with the country. If tethering is critical for you, ask our support first — we do not promise hotspot, because it depends on the plan.
How the two models work, side by side
Both are data-only eSIMs delivered by QR code. The difference is how the package is built.
| VoaSim | Holafly (model) | |
|---|---|---|
| Data | Truly unlimited: no cap, no throttling, no hidden fair use | Unlimited plans with usage conditions described in its terms |
| Pricing | One price per duration, same for all 170 destinations | Priced by destination/plan, via site and app |
| Tethering | Not promised — confirm with support | Tethering limits described in its terms |
| Phone number | Data only; your SIM and number stay active | Data-only plans in most destinations |
| Payment | Card in USD via Stripe, invoice by email | Check current methods on its site |
Always confirm the current terms on the official site or app of any brand before buying. Conditions change, and we do not quote competitor prices or ratings here.

Coverage: where each one makes sense
VoaSim covers 170 destinations on every continent, connecting automatically to local networks on 4G and, where available, 5G. The Europe plan is a single eSIM for 50 countries, including Switzerland, the UK, Turkey, Norway and Iceland — no swapping when you cross a border.
Two honest limits. First, we have no coverage in the island Caribbean right now: Dominican Republic, Cuba, Jamaica, Bahamas, Aruba, Curaçao and neighbors. Puerto Rico works, because it runs on US networks. If your trip is a Caribbean island, another provider is the better pick — check Holafly, Airalo, Nomad or Ubigi for that route.
Second, cruises: our eSIM works on land, at ports, not at sea. Satellite data on board comes from the ship. Browse the full list on the destinations page.
Other alternatives worth knowing
Unlimited is not always the right shape. A fair map of the market:
- Sold by GB: Airalo, Nomad, Saily, Ubigi, Maya Mobile, Yesim, GigSky, Alosim, Jetpac and others. Good if you barely use data — a small GB bundle can be cheaper than any unlimited plan. Check cap, validity and tethering in each one's terms.
- Free eSIM trials: usually a few hundred MB for a few days. Fine to test compatibility, not enough for a trip.
- Carrier roaming (T-Mobile, AT&T International Day Pass, Verizon TravelPass, EE, Vodafone, Three, Rogers, Telstra, Google Fi): convenient because your number travels with you, often with a daily allowance and slower speeds after it. Rates vary by country and plan — check the current rate in your carrier app. See our roaming guide.
- Local physical SIM: cheapest in some countries, but it means a shop, passport registration and pulling out your own SIM.

What you get with VoaSim beyond the data
The QR code arrives by email within minutes of payment, with a step-by-step guide for iPhone and Android. Install it at home, before you fly, and keep the eSIM line off until you land — the days only start counting at the first connection to a network at the destination. On Android, do not switch the eSIM's data on before the trip.
Payment is by international credit or debit card in USD through Stripe, with no hidden fees and an invoice by email. Support is human, by chat or hola@voasim.com, with WhatsApp optional at checkout. If the eSIM will not connect and support cannot fix it, you get a 100% refund.
We also keep a free tool open to everyone: eSIM Rescue diagnoses an eSIM with no signal, even if you bought it from another brand. More on how we operate at Trust.
Why trust VoaSim?
Registered company with an invoice on every purchase, USD payment via Stripe with no hidden fees, human support and a guarantee: if the eSIM will not connect and support cannot fix it, you get 100% back.
