WHY TRAVELLERS USE BACKPACKLINK • Instant delivery — your eSIM appears in your account seconds after payment. • 200+ destinations — country, regional and worldwide plans in one place. • Keep your number — your eSIM runs alongside your normal SIM, so calls and texts still reach you. • No roaming shock — transparent prepaid pricing, paid once, up front. • Hotspot ready — tether your laptop and travel companions on most plans. • Up to 5G — full speed wherever the local network supports it. • Top up anytime — running low? Add data to the same eSIM in a couple of taps. HOW IT WORKS 1. Search your destination and pick the data, validity and speed that suit your trip. 2. Pay securely by card. 3.
