There’s a better way to stay online while you travel: GigSky!

This blog post is a collaboration piece between GigSky and eSIM.Monster.
eSIMs for Foreign Countries
With eSIM technology, you no longer need to go “off-grid” while traveling in another country or risk exorbitant fees through your home carrier. Now, you can easily stay online and in touch with those who matter most.
How eSIMs Work
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan without having to use a physical SIM card. This technology is particularly useful for travelers, as it lets you switch between different carriers and plans with ease. New cell phones are now being made with dual-SIM capabilities, allowing those devices to us traditional SIM cards and eSIMs.
Staying Online Upon Arrival in a Foreign Country
Before you travel, consider what country or region you’re visiting and purchase an eSIM that suits your needs. Installing and activating your plans takes minutes, ensuring you have immediate access to data. This also allows you yo avoid the hassle of finding a local SIM card upon arrival.
GigSky uses Tier 1 networks to provide coverage for customers. This means no matter where you go, your device will automatically connect to the best available network in the area. This allows you extreme freedom of movement during your trip.
Data + Land eSIM Packages: A Cruiser’s Delight
If you’ve ever embarked on a cruise, you know that in the past their Wi-Fi offerings have been notoriously slow and prohibitively expensive. Now, with Internet for cruise offerings through GigSky, you never have to worry about being online while out at sea.
How Cruise eSIMs Work
Cruising can be a wonderful experience, but staying connected while at sea is often a challenge. Cruise-specific eSIM packages are designed to provide data connectivity while you’re on land (before and after your trip), at sea (while enjoying all of the amenities of your ship), and while in port (as you explore the destinations on your itinerary). Plans offer coverage that extends across multiple countries and maritime zones, ensuring you stay connected throughout your voyage.
Offshore/ North Sea eSIMs
For those working offshore or traveling in remote sea areas, specialized eSIMs can provide necessary connectivity. Offshore eSIMs are optimized for coverage in challenging environments, making them ideal for offshore workers and maritime travelers.
Why It’s Important to Stay Connected
Staying connected in remote areas is not just about convenience; it’s also about safety. Whether you’re working offshore or exploring distant lands, having reliable communication means you can stay in touch with loved ones, access vital information, and call for help if needed.
Inflight Data Packages
Though some airlines offer free inflight Wi-Fi, it’s not always reliable. And those that don’t, it’s often expensive. Don’t let the sky be the limit to your Internet access.
Benefits of Staying Online in the Sky
Inflight eSIM data packages allow you to stay productive and entertained during long flights. Prior to takeoff, download the GigSky app and purchase an inflight plan (you can even do this in the airport). Once you reach 20,000 feet, switch on your GigSky plan under Settings > Cellular menu. These packages enable you to check emails, stay in touch with colleagues, stream entertainment, and even work on important projects while flying.
