travel.to
For expats

eSIM for expats.

A clean phone-number setup that doesn't commit you to a local carrier contract. Moving to a new country usually means awkward choices: keep your home SIM and roam (expensive), get a local SIM (long contract, ID requirements), or live on WiFi (unreliable). A travel.to eSIM is the in-between that buys you time to decide.

Why travel.to for expats

What we built specifically for this use.

  • 1

    No local carrier contract, no ID requirements at a kiosk, no Spanish/German bureaucracy on arrival.

  • 2

    Keep your home SIM in for banking 2FA and family WhatsApp until you decide on a permanent local number.

  • 3

    Top up monthly while you settle in — by month three you'll know enough about the local market to pick a real carrier (or stay on travel.to).

  • 4

    If you decide to leave the country sooner than planned, no contract to break.

Questions expats ask

Quick answers.

As long as you want. Many customers stay on monthly unlimited indefinitely. For 6+ month stays, a local prepaid plan may be cheaper, but the convenience of one dashboard across multiple countries is real.
Your home SIM stays in the phone (or as a second eSIM) and keeps receiving SMS. travel.to is the second line for data. The phone uses whichever line you mark for data.
Full refund if it fails to activate. Half refund if it activates but underperforms. One click from your dashboard, no support thread.
No. travel.to runs as a second line. Your home number stays on its primary SIM and keeps receiving calls + SMS, including 2FA codes from banks.
