Simvela is a travel eSIM app. Buy a data plan for the country you are going to, install it in a couple of minutes, and be online the moment you land - no physical SIM, no roaming bill, no queue at the airport. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose your destination 2. Pick a plan that fits your trip 3. Pay in the app and get your QR code 4. Scan it in your iPhone settings 5. Land, and you are already connected WHY SIMVELA - Plans by the day or by the month, so you pay only for the days you travel - The price you see before you buy is the price you pay - Keep your own number active for calls and messages - Check how much data is left at any moment - Add another plan to an eSIM you already installed, instead of installing a new one - Works on any eSIM-capable iPhone SUPPORT IN YOUR LANGUAGE Questions do not wait for office hours. The built-in AI assistant answers instantly, day or night, and replies in the language you write in. The app itself is available in 14 languages. BEFORE YOU BUY Your iPhone needs to support eSIM and must not be carrier-locked. A plan starts working when you arrive in the country it covers - until then your phone shows "No service", which is normal. Questions? Write to abishovazar@gmail.com and we will reply.
