The mechanics
How Holafly works
- 1
Buy on the website
Choose the country package and pay online — the eSIM arrives by email within minutes, before you travel.
- 2
Scan the QR code
Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM (iOS) or the equivalent on Android — the profile downloads and sits dormant until the validity window starts.
- 3
It activates on arrival
The line registers on the local partner network when you land. Need more data later? Buy a new package and install it the same way.

The refund policy in short
Holafly gives you up to 6 months from purchase to request a refund. A full change-of-mind refund requires buying direct from Holafly (not a reseller) and never activating the eSIM; device-incompatibility refunds need an unscanned QR code and a screenshot as proof. Connection issues during a trip qualify for full or partial refunds (partial ones may carry a $3.50 administrative fee), paid back to the original payment method within 5-10 business days.

FAQ
What should you know before buying a Holafly eSIM
Where can I use a Holafly eSIM?
Holafly sells eSIMs for 50 of the 50 destinations this site tracks, all priced from the same dated snapshot. Its own catalogue lists 200+ destinations in total — we track the 50 where demand is highest. For a specific trip, open that destination's page in the country comparison and every Holafly plan sorts against the field.
When is Holafly actually the cheapest option?
No provider wins everywhere — it depends on the destination. Holafly is the cheapest provider in 0 of the 50 countries where we track its plans (%!d(float64=0)% of its coverage).
Can I get unlimited data with Holafly?
Yes — 298 of the 298 plans we track from Holafly are unlimited. Every one carries a fair-use policy that can throttle speed after a threshold, so read the verbatim notes in our fair-use audit before a streaming-heavy trip.
Can I buy a Holafly eSIM without installing an app?
Yes — Holafly is a web marketplace: pick your destination, check out on the website, and the eSIM QR code arrives by email within minutes. No app is required. Install the profile at home on Wi-Fi before departure so you land connected.
How much does a Holafly eSIM cost?
The entry price in our database is $10.90 — the smallest bucket in the cheapest destination, not necessarily the right plan for your trip. Sort by $/GB on your destination's page before choosing; prices exclude promo codes and taxes.
Who is behind Holafly?
Holafly launched in 2018 and sells marketplace plans across 50 destinations. It is operated by Holafly Limited, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. It is a sponsored partner of this site — rankings here are still computed by price alone (see our methodology).
What if my Holafly eSIM doesn't connect?
Holafly offers 24/7 live chat in multiple languages, WhatsApp (+1 661 384 8482) and email. Email: [email protected]. Before writing in, test once on Wi-Fi and check that data roaming is on for the eSIM line — most "no connection" reports turn out to be a roaming toggle, not a broken eSIM.
What is Holafly's refund policy?
Holafly gives you up to 6 months from purchase to request a refund. A full change-of-mind refund requires buying direct from Holafly (not a reseller) and never activating the eSIM; device-incompatibility refunds need an unscanned QR code and a screenshot as proof. Connection issues during a trip qualify for full or partial refunds (partial ones may carry a $3.50 administrative fee), paid back to the original payment method within 5-10 business days. Practical tip: buy a day or two before departure and install at home — if anything fails you still have time to claim. (Summarised from Holafly's published policy; always check their own terms before buying.)
