easySim.global, a member of the easy® family of companies, has announced the launch of a new international data roaming service in over 150 countries. The service is designed to provide users with substantial savings on the costs associated with using their smartphones abroad.
“Whether travelling for business or pleasure, the cost of using a mobile overseas can be shocking,” said Jim Guest, co-founder of easySim.global. “Most UK mobile networks no longer allow their customers to ‘roam like at home’ in the EU, and data charges for the rest of the world are often unaffordable.”
The solution – an eSIM from easySim.global – offers reliable internet for smartphones and tablets around the globe at low fixed prices, allowing users to stay connected using their favourite apps while travelling.
The process is quick and easy; customers simply choose their destination country and data bundle at www.easySim.global, before loading the eSIM from the QR code in their welcome email.
Martin Lewis of Money Saving Expert recently used an eSIM on holiday and commented: ‘The whole experience was easier and simpler than expected’.
easySim.global is the brainchild of Portsmouth-based telecoms entrepreneurs Jim Guest and Richard Gwilliam, with the backing of easyGroup Chairman Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou. The venture is aimed at challenging the high international data roaming charges often imposed by mobile operators.
Sir Stelios had this to say about the launch of easySim.global: “easySim.global is a new way for travellers to get low-cost mobile data worldwide. It’s simple to use and great value, so the company is perfectly aligned with easy® brand values and I’m delighted to be working with the directors to get new customers onboard.”
As an example, UK visitors to Turkey can save a minimum of £63 on data roaming compared to their standard mobile contracts. Similarly, Americans arriving in Austria; Aussies attending the Ashes; Indians interested in Iceland or Spaniards sightseeing Singapore can all benefit from the savings offered by easySim.global.
Jim Guest concluded: “Summer is here but business travellers and holiday makers have had enough of the cost of roaming when they use their smartphones or tablets abroad. We’re proud to be working with Sir Stelios to take on the big boys of the mobile market and protect consumers against bill shock.”
easySim.global provides prepaid data eSIMs giving access to local Tier 1 mobile network operators worldwide, with customer service provided online 24/7 via the easySim.global website. The service is compatible with the majority of 4G/5G Apple and Android smartphones, with no apps to load or tricky SIM cards to install.

The service works by providing customers with an eSIM, which can be quick and easily loaded from a QR code sent in a welcome email. Compatible with the majority of 4G/5G Apple and Android smartphones, the eSIM allows customers to access local Tier 1 mobile network operators worldwide at low fixed prices.
Using a 14 day stay in Turkey as an example, easySim.global offers 3GB of data for only £7. This is a considerable saving compared to the major UK network operators’ bolt-on tariffs, with some customers having to pay as much as £416 for only 69MB of data in one day.
