Our Global eSIM is priced flat by trip length, from USD 9.99, with unlimited data across 165+ countries. Your cost per day is the plan price divided by its days.
The old way bills you by the day, the gigabyte or the country, and the total shows up after you’ve landed. Here’s the math before you book.
Maya Mobile Global eSIM plans start at USD 9.99 for the whole trip
Our Global eSIM costs a flat price for the trip length you pick, from USD 9.99, and the 3, 7, 14 and 30 day plans each divide into a per-day figure. The 3-day unlimited plan costs USD 9.99, which is USD 3.33 a day.
The Unlimited 7 Days plan, suited to week-long trips and city breaks, costs USD 19.99 (USD 2.86/day). The Unlimited 14 Days plan, suited to holidays and two-week trips, costs USD 27.99 (USD 2.00/day) and is marked Most Popular. The Unlimited 30 Days plan, suited to long trips and digital nomads, costs USD 49.99 (USD 1.67/day) and is marked Best Value.
Pick your days, divide, done. The number you see is the number you pay.
What does one flat eSIM price cover across 165+ countries?
One flat price covers unlimited data with a daily high-speed allowance (the Daily Quota), at up to 4G LTE or 5G where available on local networks. After the Daily Quota is used, data continues at standard speed for the rest of the day.
Unlimited eSIM data refreshes every 24 hours counted from the activation date. Some restrictions apply to very high usage of Unlimited eSIM plans, in order to assure high service quality for everyone.
That’s one eSIM and one plan for the trip. Hop borders without shopping again.
How much does carrier roaming cost per day compared with a travel eSIM?
A carrier’s international day pass charges a fee for each day abroad, so a week costs seven of those fees. Verizon lists TravelPass at “$12/day in other TravelPass countries.” (Verizon, International Plans: TravelPass)
Our Global eSIM sets one flat price against the days of the trip. The 7-day Unlimited plan costs USD 19.99 (USD 2.86/day).
According to its website, Verizon TravelPass is $12 per day, charged only on days the phone is used abroad, so 7 days of daily use is 7 × $12 = $84. AT&T’s International Day Pass is also $12 per day on land for the first line, which makes 7 × $12 = $84 for the same week (att.com). Over 30 days of daily use, each of those two passes comes to 30 × $12 = $360.
T-Mobile sells a 30 Day Pass at $75 for 30 GB, about 1 GB a day (t-mobile.com).
What does a 30-day travel eSIM cost per day for a long stay?
For a month abroad, the 30 day Global eSIM plan is one flat price divided across 30 days. The 30-day Unlimited plan costs USD 49.99, which is USD 1.67 a day.
Unlimited data starts from USD 1.67/day, which is the per-day rate of the 30-day plan. The Unlimited 30 Days plan, suited to long trips and digital nomads, is marked Best Value.
Set against the $360 a month that Verizon TravelPass and AT&T’s land Day Pass come to for daily use (verizon.com and att.com), that’s a month of trip with room left in the budget.
What does the Maya Mobile Global + Cruise plan cost?
The Global + Cruise plan covers 20+ cruise lines and 165+ countries, including Royal Caribbean International. It’s a separate purchase from the Global plan, priced on its own.
Its prices are USD 49.99 for 3 days, USD 109.99 for 7 days and USD 299.99 for 30 days. Don’t read a Global price as a cruise price. Pick the Global + Cruise plan when the ship is part of the trip.
Will a travel eSIM add charges after the trip ends?
No, a Global eSIM plan is a one-time purchase that ends when its days end, so no bill follows the trip. Auto Top-Up is opt-in and off by default, so extra days are bought only when the traveler turns it on.
Each purchase is a one-time payment. With Auto Top-Up off, the plan runs until it expires and stops with no further charge.
Jane B. gave us five stars on Trustpilot in September 2026: “Excellent service. No need to worry about huge phone bills when you get back from holiday. I got caught out one year when I went away for longer than 2 weeks and thought I’d just keep buying a holiday roaming weekly package but ran out of data and couldn’t add any more. Now I used Maya eSIMs and know exactly what I’m spending and get unlimited data.”
Which travel eSIM should you buy, priced by day, gigabyte or country?
Each company states its own pricing basis in the table, whether per country, per region, by the gigabyte, by day or one global plan. It lists what each publishes for a traveler comparing cost per day.
| Travel eSIM | How plans are sold | Unlimited plan allowance, as published |
|---|---|---|
| Maya Mobile | One Global eSIM for 165+ countries, unlimited data at a flat price by trip length: USD 9.99 for 3 days, USD 19.99 for 7 days, USD 27.99 for 14 days, USD 49.99 for 30 days | A daily high-speed data allowance (the Daily Quota) at up to 4G LTE or 5G where local networks offer it, reset every 24 hours; unlimited data at standard speed once the Daily Quota is used |
| Airalo | Per country, per region, or one global plan; priced in USD | Our unlimited data packages don’t have a fixed total data cap. However, to keep the network running fairly for everyone, when you use more than 3GB in a day, we’ll slow down (or “throttle”) your internet speed to 1 Mbps for the rest of that day. Your full high-speed connection will automatically be restored when your daily allowance next resets. Your daily allowance resets every 24 hours, counted from the time you activated your eSIM. |
| Holafly | Per country, per region (Europe, Latin America, Cruise plans), and monthly global plans: Light, 25GB of data, $ 49.90USD/month; Unlimited, $ 64.90USD/month; Ultra, $ 90.95USD/month | Unlimited data plans are subject to a fair use policy, which may temporarily reduce speed in cases of unusually high usage to maintain network quality for all users. |
| Saily | Per country and per region, plus one global plan; by the gigabyte, unlimited, or both | The Unlimited plan gives you 5 GB per day at full 4G/5G speed, then keeps you online at 1 Mbps for the rest of the day — fast enough for navigation, messaging, and standard browsing. |
| Nomad | Per country, per region and global plans; by the gigabyte and unlimited | Once the daily allowance of 2 GB is used, data speeds are reduced (throttled) for the rest of the day. Depending on the specific plan, this reduced speed is approximately 1 Mbps or 2 Mbps. |
| GigSky | Per country, per region, and cruise plans; by day, unlimited data with 3.5GB daily high-speed allowance | Get up to 3.5GB/day at our fastest speeds: Video calls, uploads, streaming and more. |

A one-star Trustpilot review of Orange Travel from March 5, 2026 reads: “I purchased an “unlimited” data plan from Orange Travel and the entire experience has been extremely misleading and frustrating. Their website repeatedly gives the impression that the data is genuinely unlimited. It promotes things like “no daily caps”, “no sudden stops”, and “no speed limits.” Their own support information also says that hotspot/tethering is allowed with no usage limitation, which clearly suggests customers can freely use the data they pay for. However, that is not what actually happens in reality. Not very far into my plan I was suddenly restricted and effectively cut off for “using too much data”, despite the fact I had purchased an unlimited plan and was simply using the service normally. If there are hidden fair-usage limits, they are certainly not made clear when purchasing the plan. Dealing with customer service made the situation even worse. When I first contacted support, one representative actually did not believe me that my data had been restricted, because he said the plan was “unlimited”. It then took two full days for them to investigate the issue. After waiting all that time, they came back confirming the restriction but refused to remove it. Instead of fixing the problem on a plan that was advertised as unlimited, they tried to charge me more money for additional data. There was also another frustrating issue regarding roaming partners. I was arguing with customer services because one of the UK networks listed as a roaming partner never connected at any point, while every other available network connected normally. Instead of addressing the issue, they sent me a roaming partner list that appears to be outdated. The list they provided actually showed Orange and T-Mobile” as separate UK operators, despite the fact that they merged in 2010 to form EE. The roaming list they sent didn’t even reflect this. For a modern telecom company, sending customers clearly outdated network information like that is honestly embarrassing and does not inspire confidence in the accuracy of anything else they provide. So the overall experience ended up being: • “Unlimited” data that gets restricted for using too much • Marketing that claims no caps and no sudden stops • Customer support that initially didn’t believe the issue existed • Two days wasted waiting for an investigation • Restriction left in place anyway • Being asked to pay more for extra data • Outdated roaming partner information being sent by support This feels extremely misleading and poorly handled from start to finish.”

FAQ
How do I install the Maya Mobile eSIM before I fly?
Install once, on Wi-Fi, before the trip. On iOS, open the Maya Mobile app, go to Home, select the eSIM, choose Installation Instructions, tap Install eSIM Now, and follow the on-screen prompts. The QR code method is marked Recommended. On landing, switch on the Maya eSIM and select it for Cellular Data.
What happens when my eSIM plan’s days run out?
The plan ends. With Auto Top-Up off, it stops with no further charge. Auto Top-Up is an optional feature that buys the same plan again when the current one expires, at the same duration and price, and you turn it off to stop renewals.
How do I add days when my trip runs longer?
Buy another plan from the Maya app. You can extend anytime from the app, and if a plan shows as expired, a new one takes under a minute. The eSIM is already installed.
Which phones work with the Maya Mobile eSIM?
Most modern smartphones, including iPhone 11 and newer and Android devices running Android 10 or later. Supported Samsung Galaxy devices include the S20 through S25 series, Z Flip and Z Fold models. Supported Google Pixel models range from the Pixel 3 up to the Pixel 10 Pro.
Do I need calls and texts, or is data enough on a trip?
Data is enough for many trips. eSIM plans are data plans only and include no local phone number. The eSIM supports GPS, VoIP, messaging apps and general mobile data, and if your carrier supports Wi-Fi Calling and it’s enabled, you can call and text with your regular number over the eSIM’s data connection.
How do I work out which plan length my trip needs?
Match the plan to your days, then divide. The 3-day unlimited plan costs USD 9.99 (USD 3.33/day) and the 7-day plan USD 19.99 (USD 2.86/day). The 14-day plan costs USD 27.99 (USD 2.00/day) and the 30-day plan USD 49.99 (USD 1.67/day).
What happens when I use up the daily high-speed allowance?
Data continues at standard speed for the rest of the day. The allowance is the Daily Quota, at up to 4G LTE or 5G where available on local networks. Unlimited eSIM data refreshes every 24 hours counted from the activation date.
Can I get a refund if the eSIM does not work?
Yes, in set cases. A full refund is available if no data has been used and the request is made within 30 days of purchase, or if an activated plan is completely unusable due to a Maya error that is not fixed within 10 days of the refund request. Email [email protected] or use the in-app chat; complete terms are in the Terms of Service.
Maya gives you one eSIM, installed once, with one flat price for the days you pick across 165+ countries.
