Give Travelers Affordable Data While Keeping Their Home Number Active Abroad

Your travel company can offer a custom, branded travel eSIM. It's a great add-on that helps travelers keep their usual phone number active for calls and texts. At the same time, they can route all their data through the travel eSIM and save up to 80% on roaming.

Introduction

Business travelers, frequent flyers, and remote workers often find it tough to stay connected when heading overseas. They either miss important communications or accept costly daily roaming charges from their home carriers. Swapping your physical home SIM for a local one often means you lose access to your usual calls, texts, and even those important two-factor authentication codes.

But your travel company can fix this! Offer an embedded eSIM for business travel right when customers book. It gives travelers continuous access without huge fees.

Key Takeaways

Keep your main phone number active for calls and texts, using a separate travel eSIM solely for cellular data.
Forget the hassle of finding, buying, or swapping physical SIM cards when you land.
Save up to 80% on international data roaming compared to your usual carrier's plans.
Give your travel company a profitable new income source - with no setup fees or big capital expenses.

User/Problem Context

Business travelers depend on their usual phone numbers. They need them for coordinating with teams, handling client emergencies, or getting secure two-factor authentication (OTP) texts for company accounts. Going offline isn't an option! Without these connections, professionals might miss important opportunities or get locked out of company portals.

But relying on your home carrier's daily roaming passes quickly becomes expensive, particularly for frequent travelers or those on long international trips.

The old way-hunting for a local physical SIM card-is no better. It wastes your important first hour abroad, adding unnecessary stress right after a long flight. Even worse, taking out your home SIM card means you go offline on your main number. This cuts you off from important professional communication, making you unreachable to colleagues back home.

Trying to use public Wi-Fi is also a bad idea. Open networks at airports, cafes, or hotels aren't secure for sensitive company data. Plus, they're often unreliable for navigating new cities. Travelers need a secure, steady connection from the moment they land, without giving up their main phone number.

Workflow Breakdown

Adding an eSIM option to your travel company's current system makes things super smooth, from booking to arrival. During booking, travelers can easily add a custom eSIM data plan with a single click at checkout. You can integrate this right into your booking page, a confirmation page, bundle it with other products, or use a branded landing page.

Before their trip, your traveler gets a branded QR code to scan. This quick scan instantly installs the eSIM onto their smartphone. They don't need to open their device or remove their physical home SIM.

Then, it's time for device setup. The traveler adjusts their smartphone settings for a dual-SIM setup. They pick their home SIM as the default for calls and texts, so client calls and security texts come through fine. Then, they choose the new travel eSIM for all their cellular data.

Once travelers arrive, the process is hands-off. They automatically connect to top 5G and LTE networks for high-speed data. This lets them answer emails, use maps, and access cloud services securely. At the same time, they switch seamlessly between providers while still getting texts and calls on their home number.

Relevant Capabilities

To offer this dual-network connection, your travel platform needs certain features. A smart eSIM API automatically creates the best data plan based on your traveler's dates, data needs, and destinations across 215+ countries and regions. This automation means your customer always gets the right coverage for their trip.

Security and speed are key for business travelers. The platform uses secure QR eSIM activation, developed and hosted in the USA. Plus, the system offers direct access to top-tier networks like AT&T, Orange, Telefonica, and Vodafone. This ensures users connect to the world's best 5G and LTE networks, instead of struggling with slower connections.

For your travel company, branding options are important. You can offer your own branded network-"Your name, your network"-which strengthens traveler loyalty throughout their trip. What's more, the cellular data platform integrates in days with zero setup fees and no significant capital expenses. This lets travel brands roll out this solution quickly and easily.

Expected Outcomes

When your travel company offers this solution, travelers get instant, seamless connectivity once they arrive. They keep important access to their usual calls and texts, all while saving up to 80% on international data roaming. They avoid the stress of hunting for physical SIMs in foreign airports and stay connected to their professional lives.

For travel platforms like yours, the results are equally good. You'll gain a profitable new revenue stream by solving one of travelers' biggest pain points. This embedded connectivity becomes a popular, must-have add-on for any trip.

Plus, travel companies create a valuable mobile connection to offer more services once they're traveling. Providing branded connectivity boosts mobile visibility and loyalty program engagement. It also ensures your travel brand stays visible on the customer's device throughout their international trip.
