Pack light, stay connected — wherever you're headed. Llama makes getting mobile data abroad simple, honest, and a little more good for the world. Choose your destination, pick a plan, and get online in minutes — no physical SIM card, no roaming charges, no queuing at the airport kiosk. Data without the drama, and a little goes further 50% of our profits go towards helping people around the world gain access to the digital tools many of us take for granted. Every trip you take with Llama helps someone else get connected too — great signal for you, better access for others. How it works Pick your destination country Choose a data plan — Fixed or Unlimited Pay securely and get your eSIM instantly Scan the QR code (or tap to install) and roam like a llama Fixed or Unlimited — and what "Unlimited" actually means Fixed plans give you a set amount of data for your trip, simple and predictable. Unlimited plans give you generous high-speed data every day, with speeds reduced after your daily allowance is used — still enough for maps, messages, and social media, so you're never really cut off. We show the exact daily allowance and details for every plan before you buy, no small print. Straight answers about your network We show you the real local networks used in the country you're visiting — and because your data doesn't always travel the route you'd expect, we also tell you which country it actually flows through. We never route data through Hong Kong or mainland China, so apps like WhatsApp and social media keep working properly, and your data stays away from networks with weaker privacy protections. Heading to the United States? You get dedicated US routing, not a shared international path. No jargon, no small print — just the details that actually matter, shown clearly before you buy. Why travellers choose Llama Instant delivery — your eSIM is ready to install the moment you pay Fixed and Unlimited plans, so you only pay for what you need Top up anytime if you're running low, without buying a whole new plan No roaming fees, and no need to swap your physical SIM Works alongside your existing SIM, so you never lose your home number Low-data alerts let you know before you run out In-app support (including AI chat) if you need a hand Wide destination coverage From weekend city breaks to long-haul adventures, Llama covers a growing list of destinations worldwide, with new countries added regularly. Download Llama — great signal for you, better access for everyone.
