Irish travel-tech pioneer Holafly, one of the earliest and fastest-growing eSIM providers for international travellers, has unveiled what it calls the world’s first global data plan, a single eSIM with permanent worldwide coverage.
Unlike traditional roaming or temporary travel SIMs, the new Holafly eSIM stays permanently installed on your device. Travellers can scale their plan up or down, top up in seconds or pause between trips, turning mobile data into something that finally behaves like a modern digital service, not a 1990s telco relic.
Holafly’s new plans start at $1.66/day and run up to $64.90/month for unlimited data, hotspot use and a local phone number, all valid in every country you land in. International roaming has long been a notorious pain point. Travellers relied on opaque inter-carrier agreements, unpredictable charges, throttled data speeds and bill shocks that appeared weeks later.
Since its founding, Holafly has positioned itself as a sustainability-focused, digitally native alternative to plastic travel SIMs. Over seven years, it has become one of the most recognised global players in the eSIM space, and this launch marks its most ambitious step yet.
