eSIM for travel – is this the best solution for staying connected around the world? When does it make more sense than roaming? Or should they coexist?
These are the topics we are discussing in Episode 2 of eSIM Talks by Holafly!
In this episode, host Rafael A. Junquera is joined by Peter Jarich, Head of GSMA Intelligence, and Kester Mann, Director, Consumer and Connectivity at CCS Insight, for a deep dive into how eSIM is transforming travel connectivity and challenging the traditional roaming model.
As roaming, with its high costs, limited transparency, and unexpected charges, become one of the biggest pain points for modern travelers, international eSIM emerges as the new leading way to stay connected abroad. Find out why and how the telecom industry is entering a new phase of global connectivity!
