Airalo is a telecommunications company that sells eSIMs (digital SIM cards) offering affordable prepaid data plans for over 200 countries and regions worldwide. Founded in 2019 by Ahmet Bahadir Özdemir and Abraham Burak, Airalo allows travelers to purchase and install eSIMs via a mobile app or website, providing a convenient alternative to physical SIM cards and roaming plans. As of July 2025, Airalo reported over 20 million users. The company is headquartered in Delaware, with its operational base in Singapore.
Key features of Airalo include providing 3G/4G LTE data, with 5G access in select locations, tethering, and the ability to top up data. Airalo offers various support channels, including email, in-app chat, and social media, but does not offer phone support. Airalo's plans are data-only, although some, like the Global Discover+ eSIM, include a phone number for calls and texts. Airalo partners with Valid to enhance its global eSIM experience, utilizing Valid's Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) platform and Quality of Service (QoS) intelligence solution. eSIM plans start from $4.50 for 1GB of data. Airalo is available through their website and apps on both iOS and Android.
