When I first started travelling around Europe, I wanted to stay connected without paying a fortune in roaming charges. So I tried Smart SIM, Honest’s data-only eSIM that gives you 500+ essential apps with free global roaming.
“A game-changer”
So far, I’ve used Smart SIM in Sicily, Amsterdam and Ibiza, and it’s been a real game-changer.
While Smart SIM doesn’t include every app, it has all the ones that matter when going away: WhatsApp, iMessage, Maps, CityMapper, Google Translate. It doesn’t support apps like Facebook or Instagram, but honestly, I didn’t miss them. Being able to stay in touch and get to where you need to go is what counts when abroad.
“Invaluable for solo travel”
I found Smart SIM especially reassuring when travelling alone in Sicily. When I first arrived, it helped me easily plan my journey from the airport, hopping between buses and trains without stress. During my stay I explored different areas, went sightseeing, discovered restaurants and cafes, all without worrying about Wi-Fi.
Being able to message loved ones on WhatsApp and iMessage also gave me a real of security, which is invaluable when travelling solo. I even managed to answer a few quick questions from colleagues back home on Gmail and Slack.
Another unexpected bonus of Smart SIM was connecting with new people. I don’t speak Italian fluently, so Google Translate helped to bridge that gap. It made conversations smoother, helped me pick up useful phrases, and even gave me the confidence to make new friends during my trip.
“The best part? Smart SIM is really cost-effective”
The best part is Honest Smart SIM is really cost-effective. Instead of worrying about huge roaming bills or unreliable Wi-Fi, I had the essentials without extra costs.
If you want peace of mind while travelling abroad, I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.
Smart SIM has made my trips so much richer and more enjoyable. It gives me the freedom to enjoy myself, knowing I can always rely on my phone to guide me.
