Following the enthusiastic response this summer, we’ve made free eSIM data a permanent part of our plans. All Advanced plan subscribers receive 5GB of free eSIM data, while all Essential plan subscribers receive 3GB. Instant connectivity, built into your IPVanish plan.
Traveling the world is easier than ever, but staying connected on the go can still be a hassle, especially with expensive fees and unreliable service. Whether you’re working from a new destination or just staying in touch with loved ones, having access to secure and reliable mobile data is essential. That’s why IPVanish is giving new users free eSIM data when they sign up for any VPN plan.
When we first launched this feature on May 15, it was available only for Advanced Yearly and 2-Year subscribers. Thanks to the overwhelming response, it’s now included with all our plans. No matter which VPN plan you choose, you get easy, instant connectivity with your subscription.
What is an eSIM card, and why is it a game-changer for travelers?
An eSIM (Embedded SIM), also known as an eSIM card, is a digital version of a traditional SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card that is installed directly into your device. It allows you to connect to mobile networks without swapping physical SIM cards, as provided by mobile carriers and retailers, a significant convenience for international travelers. With eSIMs, you can activate a local data plan as soon as you land, avoiding roaming fees and saving time.
Key benefits for travelers:
- No need to buy or insert physical SIM cards
- Instant connection to local networks upon arrival
- Avoid roaming charges from your home carrier
- Easily switch between multiple data plans
- Remote activation and setup in just minutes
For frequent travelers, eSIMs provide a seamless, flexible, and cost-effective way to stay connected worldwide.
