The mechanics
How Roami works
- 1
Install the app and buy in-app
Pick your destination and plan inside the app — checkout, eSIM and top-ups all live in one place, no email vouchers.
- 2
One tap installs the eSIM
The app writes the eSIM profile directly — no QR-code juggling, and it can switch host networks automatically where Roami holds multiple agreements.
- 3
Data starts when you land
The plan activates per its validity window; if you run low, buy a top-up in the app and keep the same eSIM.

FAQ
What do travelers ask about the Roami eSIM
Which countries does the Roami eSIM work in?
Roami 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 Roami plan sorts against the field.
How competitive is Roami on price?
No provider wins everywhere — it depends on the destination. Roami is the cheapest provider in 1 of the 50 countries where we track its plans (%!d(float64=2)% of its coverage). For example, in Japan its plans start at $1.99.
Is there an unlimited Roami eSIM?
Yes — 172 of the 1181 plans we track from Roami 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.
Do I need the Roami app to use its eSIMs?
Yes — Roami is app-first: you browse, buy and install plans inside the app (available on the App Store), and the eSIM sits alongside your physical SIM rather than replacing it. Buy and install before you fly; on landing, enable data roaming for the eSIM line and it connects by itself.
Is there a Roami discount code?
Yes — code web20 gives 20% off your first order (new users) (20% off, New users only — apply at checkout for 20% off your first order. Bonus on the official site: 100MB of free data when you download the Roami app.). Copy it on our eSIM deals page, which also calculates whether the discounted price still loses to a cheaper rival in each country.
What is the entry price for Roami?
The entry price in our database is $1.99 — 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.
Can Roami be trusted for travel data?
Roami launched in 2024 and sells app-first plans across 50 destinations. It is operated by Hong Kong LinZe Co., Limited, headquartered in Hong Kong. It is this site's own brand, reviewed with the same formulas as every other provider.
Where do I get help with a Roami eSIM?
Roami offers 24/7 human support (online assistance 365 days) 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.
Does Roami give money back if the eSIM fails?
Roami's worry-free refund policy promises a full refund if the plan doesn't work or remains unused. The same 24/7 team handles activation, refunds and travel questions. Practical tip: buy a day or two before departure and install at home — if anything fails you still have time to claim. (Summarised from Roami's published policy; always check their own terms before buying.)
