STILL paying daily roaming fees abroad? Stop: a simple, budget-friendly tech trick is officially killing off old-school data charges this summer.
If you are jetting off abroad, the dread of returning home to a monster phone bill is all too real. But travel-savvy tourists are sidestepping airport SIM card kiosks entirely and using a game-changing digital alternative: the travel eSIM.
Get 20% off your first purchase of an Ubigi Football Fever data plan using code THESUNFOOT20
Leading the charge is Ubigi, a pioneer in the travel eSIM space since 2018. It offers affordable travel eSIM data plans, providing instant mobile internet access across more than 200 destinations worldwide.
Best of all, Sun readers can score an exclusive discount to keep connected for less.
What is an eSIM and how does it stop roaming fees?
An eSIM is a digital SIM on your smartphone, with no need for a physical card.
Instead of swapping physical plastic cards or getting hit with eye-watering daily roaming fees from your service provider, you simply download a digital data plan.
With Ubigi, you will get a data-only travel eSIM, meaning you’ll get an eSIM dedicated strictly to high-speed mobile internet rather than phone calls or texts.
This allows you to keep costs incredibly low while retaining the freedom to use WhatsApp, FaceTime, Google Maps and any social media platforms exactly as you would at home.

Why Ubigi beats competitors
Unlike many eSIM providers, Ubigi is a ‘Full MVNO’ backed by telecom veteran Transatel (part of the giant NTT Group).
This means it doesn’t just resell other networks; it has wide regional partnerships, delivering top-tier, reliable 4G and 5G coverage while reducing any potential dead zones.
Travel-ready and stress-free
Setting up is beautifully simple, and you can buy your plan up to six months in advance to get organised early.
Thanks to Smart Start functionality, your plan’s countdown duration doesn’t begin when you buy it; it only triggers the moment you land, and your phone detects the local network.
You install the QR code once, and you can top up on the go via the Ubigi app seamlessly. The app even supports biometric login (FaceID/fingerprint) for rapid, secure access while you travel.
