Last updated:Spend less on data, more on the experiences that matter
Fixed Price, No Surprises
Know exactly what you pay before you buy. No hidden charges, no overage fees, and no auto-renewals. Your travel budget stays on track from the very first day.
Navigate Without Free Wi-Fi
Use Google Maps, Citymapper, or local transit apps anywhere in 185+ countries. Mobile data helps you find buses, trains, and walking routes that cost less than taxis.
Save More on Getting Around
Compare prices on Uber, Grab, and budget transport apps. Book cheap trains and local rides from apps that need a live data connection to give you real-time availability.
Translation and Safety Abroad
Use translation apps in real time for menus, signs, and directions. Keep a data connection for emergencies and sharing your live location with family back home in India.
Safer Than Free Wi-Fi
Public Wi-Fi at airports and hotels is convenient but carries risk. Your HelloRoam e SIM gives you a private cellular connection that keeps your personal data off shared networks.
| Option | Cost (7-day trip) | Convenience |
|---|---|---|
| Carrier Roaming | $70 to $105+ | Automatic but expensive |
| Airport SIM Card | $15 to $40 | Requires store visit and setup |
| Pocket WiFi Rental | $35 to $70 | Extra device to carry and charge |
| HelloRoam eSIM | From $1.14 | Instant, on your phone, no extra gear |

The biggest data drains for travelers are photos, videos, and social media uploads. A single Instagram story can use 20MB, and posting a batch of vacation photos eats through data fast. To stretch your budget further, save uploads for WiFi at your hotel or hostel.
Download offline maps before you leave home. Google Maps and Maps.me both let you save entire cities or regions for navigation without any data. You can still use real-time transit info and live search with your eSIM data when you need it.
For messaging, WhatsApp and Telegram use very little data. Text messages cost almost nothing in terms of megabytes. Voice notes use slightly more, and video calls are the biggest data users at about 1.5GB per hour. Stick to text and voice notes to keep data usage low.
Having mobile data actually saves money while traveling. With a data connection, you can compare ride prices on Uber, Grab, or Bolt instead of accepting whatever a taxi driver quotes. In many cities, this difference alone covers the cost of your eSIM plan.
Public transit apps show you bus and train routes that most tourists miss. Instead of a $30 taxi ride from the airport, a $2 bus ticket gets you to the same place. But you need data to look up routes, check schedules, and navigate transfers in real time.
Restaurant and food apps help you find local spots that are not in guidebooks. Google Maps ratings, local food delivery apps, and currency converters all need data. Budget travelers who stay connected eat better for less, find cheaper accommodation, and avoid tourist traps that charge premium prices.

Save Up to 84%
compared to what Jio and Airtel charge for international data roaming per day. Indian travellers using HelloRoam prepaid eSIM spend more on experiences and less on phone bills.
Based on average Indian carrier international roaming rates vs HelloRoam prepaid plans from ₹107.45

HelloRoam offers a free eSIM trial for eligible new users and prepaid plans from ₹107.45, saving budget travellers up to 84% compared to Jio or Airtel international roaming add-ons. You buy only the data you need with no contracts and no hidden charges. A prepaid eSIM costs far less than airport SIM card kiosks in Dubai or Singapore, which mark up prices two to three times versus buying online.
A cheap eSIM purchased before you leave India is the cheapest way to get data abroad. HelloRoam's affordable eSIM plans cover 185+ countries from ₹107.45 with no shipping costs and no store visit. Buying from home costs far less than airport prepaid SIM card counters and removes the hassle of finding a phone shop at Dubai International, Suvarnabhumi Airport Bangkok, or Changi Airport Singapore. Value-for-money travellers from India rate this as the top way to cut communication costs.
A prepaid eSIM saves real money on a two-week Europe trip from India. Jio and Airtel international roaming packages accumulate daily charges that add up much over 14 days. A HelloRoam e-sim with a 10GB plan covers the UK, France, Germany, and Italy at local network speeds for far less. Set it up at home before you fly and land with data already sorted.
A HelloRoam prepaid eSIM beats pocket Wi-Fi for Indian budget travellers on cost, convenience, and speed. Pocket Wi-Fi devices cost extra to hire, need to be returned, and force everyone in your group onto one shared connection that slows under load. A HelloRoam e SIM costs far less, runs on your own phone, and gives you a private cellular connection wherever you go in 185+ countries.
Most Indian travellers need 1 to 3GB for a week of light use covering maps, WhatsApp messaging, and social media. Using hotel Wi-Fi for video calls home keeps consumption low, and a 3GB plan is comfortable for most people. Heavy users who stream videos or take long video calls on mobile data should choose a 5GB or 10GB HelloRoam plan.
HelloRoam prepaid eSIM is the best-value international data option for travellers from India because you activate it before your trip and have connectivity the moment you land. Plans cover 185+ countries from ₹107.45 with no contracts and no hidden charges. Unlike buying a prepaid SIM card at an airport kiosk in Dubai or Singapore, you skip the queue, the markup, and the card swap at the arrivals hall.
Most international airports sell prepaid SIM cards at arrivals halls, but they are priced two to three times higher than local shops. You also need to show identification and wait for the card to activate. A HelloRoam eSIM skips all of that. Buy online at home in India, scan the QR code, and your plan is ready before you board your flight. HelloRoam covers 185+ countries with plans from ₹107.45.
Free Wi-Fi at airports, hotels, and cafes is convenient but not secure. Shared public networks are easy targets for data interception, and fake hotspots can steal personal information including banking credentials. A HelloRoam eSIM gives you a private cellular connection that is far safer than any public network. For internet banking, UPI apps, and personal accounts, always use your cellular data instead of open Wi-Fi.
Switch on the data setting on your HelloRoam eSIM line to connect overseas. Turn off mobile data on your Jio or Airtel primary SIM to avoid any accidental international roaming charges from your home carrier. Because you already paid for a fixed HelloRoam prepaid plan, enabling data on that line incurs no extra charges. Your total cost stays exactly what you paid at checkout. HelloRoam covers 185+ countries.
Google Maps lets you pre-download offline maps for any destination before leaving India, cutting data use much while you navigate. Download maps over Wi-Fi at home before your trip. You can still use your HelloRoam e-sim for real-time transit updates, live traffic, and searching nearby places when you need current information. As of April 2026, HelloRoam plans start at ₹107.45.
HelloRoam eSIM plans are a strong fit for international travel from India because they activate instantly, connect to local networks at local speeds, and cost far less than Jio or Airtel carrier roaming. Plans cover 185+ countries from ₹107.45 per trip. Budget travellers get predictable pricing: pay a fixed amount upfront with no hidden charges and no surprise bill when you return.
HelloRoam eSIM plans are flexible prepaid packages, so you choose the size you need at checkout. If you run low on data during your trip, you can buy a new plan for the same destination through the HelloRoam app. Plans start at ₹107.45 across 185+ countries with no hidden fees and no automatic top-up charges added to your account.
HelloRoam eSIM plans are fully prepaid with no contracts, no monthly fees, and no cancellation charges. You buy a plan only when you have a trip coming up. This pay-as-you-go approach works well for budget Indian travellers who want to control spending without a subscription eating into savings between trips.
HelloRoam supports hotspot sharing on all plans, so you can share your data with a laptop, tablet, or a family member's phone. For budget Indian travellers splitting connectivity across devices, this avoids the cost of buying multiple plans. Hotspot uses data faster than regular browsing, so track your usage in the HelloRoam app to stay within your plan. Plans start at ₹107.45, saving up to 84% versus carrier roaming.
HelloRoam eSIM plans provide data-only connectivity and do not assign a new phone number. Your existing Indian number stays active on your primary Jio or Airtel SIM. For budget travellers, this dual-SIM setup works well because you keep your home number for calls and texts while the HelloRoam e-sim handles affordable data across 185+ countries from ₹107.45.
HelloRoam eSIM supports mobile hotspot on all plans, letting you tether a laptop or tablet to your phone's data connection. This is practical for Indian budget travellers who work remotely or need internet on a device without its own SIM slot. Turn on Personal Hotspot in your phone settings and connect your other devices whenever you need them online, saving up to 84% compared to carrier roaming.
HelloRoam eSIM plans for international travel from India start at ₹107.45 as of April 2026. A 3GB plan covers maps, messaging, and light browsing for most week-long budget trips. Switching to HelloRoam from Jio or Airtel international roaming typically saves Indian travellers up to 84% on the same trip, depending on the destination and plan selected.
A prepaid eSIM is well worth it for budget travel to Europe from India. Indian carriers charge significant daily rates for international data across EU countries, adding up fast over a 10-night trip. A HelloRoam eSIM covers your entire European journey for a flat fee starting at ₹107.45 with no border-crossing charges. One plan works across the UK, France, Germany, and Italy without switching physical SIM cards.
The main limitations of eSIM are needing a compatible unlocked device (most phones from 2018 onward qualify), needing Wi-Fi for the initial profile download, and not being transferable between devices once installed. For HelloRoam users with a compatible phone, savings of up to 84% compared to Jio or Airtel international roaming outweigh these minor trade-offs easily.
A HelloRoam prepaid eSIM is cheaper than carrier roaming for Indian travellers in almost every case. Jio and Airtel international roaming add-ons accumulate daily costs that grow much over a week abroad. HelloRoam plans for the same trip start at ₹107.45 as a one-time prepaid payment. Those savings can cover extra accommodation, meals, or local experiences for budget travellers.
You do not need to turn off your Jio or Airtel line when using a HelloRoam eSIM. Keep your Indian carrier active for calls and texts while setting HelloRoam as your data line. Disable mobile data on your primary SIM to avoid any accidental international roaming charges from your home carrier. This dual-SIM setup gives budget travellers affordable data without missing calls from home. HelloRoam covers 185+ countries. HelloRoam plans start at ₹107.45.
HelloRoam plans start at ₹107.45 with no sign-up subscription required. Budget Indian travellers pay only for the data they need on each trip, with no monthly commitment between travels. Activate before you leave India and land connected at any of 185+ destinations with your cost fixed from the moment you check out.

A prepaid eSIM is well worth getting for any international trip from India where you need mobile data. HelloRoam plans start at ₹107.45, far less than Jio or Airtel international rates. Indian budget travellers know the exact cost upfront with no hidden charges and no surprise bills after returning home. Activate before departure and land connected the moment your plane touches down.
