Faye, the travel insurance platform, is offering travelers a new way to avoid racking up expensive and oftentimes unanticipated roaming fees with the launch of Faye’s travel eSIM, available on Faye’s app.
Created in partnership with Gigs, the eSIM allows travelers to stay connected in over 190 countries, simply by turning it on through the Faye app. Depending on the destination and duration of a traveler’s trip, they’ll be recommended different eSIM plans ranging from 1 GB of data to 20 GB.
The eSIM works across borders, requiring one-time activation, and can be used alongside a traditional SIM or eSIM. This means that travelers can use their primary number for texting and calling people.
According to data from Juniper Research, mobile subscribers pay an average of $8.57 per GB of data on roaming fees. The new eSIM from Faye eliminates these unexpected bills.
Doron Samish, VP of Product at Faye Insurance: “At Faye, our mission is to go above and beyond with a product that supports your entire voyage with quality service and value. Staying connected abroad ought to be easy and shouldn't cost the world,” said Doron Samish, VP of Product at Faye Insurance.
“With just a few taps, travelers can now activate their eSIM directly in the Faye app, and avoid hefty roaming fees or the hassle of getting a physical SIM card abroad,” continued Samish. “We’re seeing significant adoption from travelers already, who can now enjoy high-speed data from the moment they land, whether traveling across Europe, Latin America or Asia.”
