AloSIM is a Canada-based tech company that provides e-Sim services and offers premium prepaid data SIM cards at affordable prices. The app has an innovative feature called the AloSIM Data Calculator, which helps you estimate the amount of data traffic you need based on your daily, weekly and monthly internet usage. Once you've determined the amount of data traffic you need, you can head over to the eSIM section and choose the plan you need. It's so important because it demonstrates the brand's transparency and authenticity in being able to calculate your daily needs so you don't overspend on things you don't need. Another thing I like about AloSIM is that you can see which partner networks you'll be connecting to before you buy any package, so you can be sure of connecting to a reliable network, and you can also check the speed of the network in the area (3G, 4G, 5G, or LTE), which is something most eSIM providers don't have.
With AloSIM, installing your eSIM is also easy and can be done in 3 ways:
- Automatic installation - you can choose this option if you want to start using the plan immediately;
- Scanning QR code - almost all eSIM providers offer this option, which allows you to activate the network by simply scanning a QR code;
- Manual installation - a step-by-step manual is required to adjust the settings and activate the eSIM.
AloSIM has global plans that are valid in several countries on different continents and AloSIM offers different e-sim cards for each continent:

Rates for e-sim vary slightly from region to region, but in general they can be summarised in the following plans (in the US for example):
- 7 days of ‘1 GB’ data = $4.50
- 15 days of ‘2 GB’ data = $8
- 30 days of ‘3 GB’ data = $11
- 30 days of ‘5 GB’ data = $16
- 30 days of ‘10 GB’ data = $26
- 30 days of ‘20 GB’ data = $42
AloSIM data plans include a free Hushed (AloSIM's sister app) international phone number (~30 minutes of talk time or 50 texts) that can be used over Wi-Fi or data.
