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

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.
