Land in a new country and you're already online. Tavi is a travel eSIM app. Pick your destination, choose a data plan, and install it in about a minute — no SIM tray, no airport kiosk queue, no bill shock when you get home. Your phone connects to the same local networks the locals use, at local prices instead of roaming prices. WHY TRAVELLERS SWITCH • Install before you fly. Buy your plan at home, activate when you land. • Half the price of roaming. Often 30–40% below the best-known eSIM brands. • Keep your normal number. Your regular SIM stays in place for calls and texts. • No contract, no auto-renew. Buy a plan, use it, done. • Watch your data. Live usage rings show exactly what's left and how long it lasts. HOW IT WORKS 1. Search your destination — Japan, Europe, Thailand, the UK, the USA and more. 2. Pick a plan. 3GB for a short trip, 10GB for most holidays, 20GB for a month. 3. Pay securely. Checkout is handled by our payment partner; we never store cards. 4. Install in one tap. Tavi hands the profile straight to iOS — or scan the QR code, or enter the details manually. Whatever suits you. 5. Land and connect. Data works the moment you switch off aeroplane mode. WHERE YOU CAN GO 110 countries. Japan, Thailand, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Vietnam, Turkey, Mexico, Brazil, India, South Korea, Singapore, Egypt, Morocco, South Africa — and around ninety more. Crossing borders? Nine regional plans cover whole trips on one eSIM: Europe, Asia, North America, USA & Canada, Australia & New Zealand, Central Asia, China mainland with Hong Kong and Macao, China & Japan & South Korea, and Singapore & Malaysia & Thailand. No swapping profiles at every border. BUILT FOR REAL TRIPS • Clear plan comparison — price per GB shown up front, no maths required. • Instant delivery — your activation details appear in the app straight after payment. • Usage and expiry at a glance, with a low-data warning before you run out. • Built-in diagnostics if something isn't connecting, plus real human support. • Works on any eSIM-capable iPhone (iPhone XS and later, carrier unlocked). BEFORE YOU BUY Your iPhone must support eSIM and must not be carrier-locked. Tavi plans are data-only: they give you mobile internet, not a local phone number. Calls and messages keep working over your usual number or over the internet (WhatsApp, FaceTime, etc.). Coverage and speeds depend on the local networks in each country. QUESTIONS Support is in the app under Help, and we answer quickly. If a plan doesn't activate, tell us and we'll fix it or refund it. Travel light. Stay connected. Tavi. LEGAL & SUPPORT Privacy policy: https://taviesim.com/privacy Terms of service: https://taviesim.com/terms Help and contact: https://taviesim.com/support Tavi contains no in-app purchases and no subscriptions. Data plans are prepaid, one-time purchases bought through our merchant of record, and nothing renews automatically.

Squatch Connect is the privacy-first travel eSIM. Pick a country or region, pick a data plan, and install in one tap — no account, no tracking, no passport uploads. WHY SQUATCH CONNECT • No account. Your purchase is tied to your device, not your identity. • No tracking. No ad SDKs, no third-party analytics, no marketing email. • No ID checks. Travel eSIMs are roaming products — no passport upload, ever. • Honest privacy. An eSIM carries your data over a normal mobile network — it does not encrypt, tunnel, or anonymize your traffic, and we'll never pretend otherwise. What we protect is the purchase: nothing about you is collected or sold. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose from 190+ destinations — single countries or whole regions like Europe and Asia. 2. Pick a plan that fits your trip: small day-trip bundles up to 50 GB hotspot-ready packages. 3. Pay with Apple Pay or card and install with one tap. Your eSIM is ready before you board. FEATURES • One-tap eSIM install on iOS 17.4+ (QR and manual setup also included) • Hotspot-ready plans for laptops and travel companions • Live data-remaining tracking, plus Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Siri support: "Add an eSIM for France in Squatch Connect" • Clear post-install checklist so your setup just works when you land • Works alongside your main SIM — keep your number, skip the roaming fees Calls and texts keep working over Wi-Fi apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, and iMessage. Your phone must be carrier-unlocked to use travel eSIMs. Squatch Connect is a Saasquatch Labs product. Connectivity without surveillance.
