About Breeze eSim
Breeze eSIM is a prepaid, data-only virtual SIM solution designed to provide mobile internet access in many countries without needing a physical SIM card.
🌍 Key Features
- Global Coverage: Offers connectivity in over 190 countries with a mix of country-specific, regional (like Europe+, Asia, North America), and global plans.
- Data Only: Breeze eSIM plans are data-only. They do not support traditional voice calls or SMS text messaging. You must use VoIP apps (like WhatsApp, FaceTime, etc.) for communication.
- Activation: Setup is straightforward, typically done by scanning a QR code or using a manual setup process after purchasing a plan on their website. No dedicated app or ID verification is generally required.
- Network: Connects to local partner networks, often providing 4G or 5G service, although speeds can vary by location.
- Hotspot: All plans support hotspot tethering, allowing you to share your connection with other devices.
- Flexibility: Plans come in various data allowances (from 1GB up to 50GB, plus “unlimited” options) and durations (from 1 to 30 days, or more for some plans). You can top up existing eSIMs for subsequent trips.
⚠️ Important Considerations
- “Unlimited” Plans: Be aware that “unlimited” plans are typically subject to a Fair Usage Policy, which means your speed will be throttled (reduced) after you’ve used a certain amount of high-speed data per day (often 1GB).
- Device Compatibility: Your smartphone or tablet must be eSIM-compatible to use Breeze.
- Calls/SMS: Since it’s data-only, you’ll need to rely on internet-based apps for all your calling and texting needs. You can keep your primary SIM active for calls/SMS while using the Breeze eSIM for data, as long as your phone supports Dual SIM/Dual Standby.
Breeze is generally considered a good option for frequent travelers and digital nomads who prioritize easy setup and coverage across multiple countries, especially if they primarily use data for communication.
