Travel light. Stay connected. Flylo is the eSIM that just works. Pick a country, tap Apple Pay, and you're online the moment your plane lands — no SIM swaps, no airport queues, no roaming bill surprises. ---------- WHY FLYLO ---------- • 190+ countries — Asia, Europe, Africa, Americas, Oceania, the Middle East. One app, one account, one experience. • Unlimited data plans — From £3.90/day. No throttling, no fair-usage gotchas. Just data that works. • 5G + 4G everywhere supported — We connect to local premium networks, not bottom-tier roaming. • 2-minute setup — Tap to install. Your iPhone adds the eSIM automatically (no QR-code scanning). • Apple Pay checkout — One tap with Face ID. No forms, no card details to type. • Keep your normal SIM — Your eSIM runs alongside your regular SIM. Calls/texts go to your number; data switches to Flylo. Best of both. • Pay only for what you use — From 1-day passes to 30-day unlimited. Top up from inside the app. • Honest, transparent pricing — Same price you see in-app is what you pay. No mystery fees, no auto-renewals. ---------- HOW IT WORKS ---------- 1. Pick your destination — 190+ countries and 7 regional bundles (Europe, Asia, Latin America, etc.). 2. Choose a plan — Unlimited or capped. From 1 day to 30 days. 3. Pay with Apple Pay — One tap. No card details to type. 4. Tap install — Your phone adds the eSIM in seconds. No QR scanning. 5. Land and you're online — Data switches on automatically. ---------- BUILT FOR TRAVELLERS ---------- We're a small team of travellers who got tired of $50 roaming bills and 2-hour SIM-card queues at airports. So we built Flylo: the eSIM app we wish existed. • Live customer support 7 days a week • Refund within 24 hours if it doesn't work • Earn 5% off by leaving us a review • Refer friends, both get £5 Compatible with iPhone XR or newer (and most iPhones from 2018+). ---------- SUPPORT ---------- Email: support@flylo.app Web: https://flylo.app Privacy policy: https://flylo.app/privacy Terms: https://flylo.app/terms
