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.
