About globeSIM
globeSIM sells prepaid travel eSIMs with mobile data for 169 countries and 5 regions. It's a small, independent shop run and built by DG Labs AI FZ-LLC, a company registered in the Ras Al Khaimah free zone in the United Arab Emirates. Its founder is Arman Murzabulatov, who travels a lot; the trip notes on country pages come from his own trips.
How the eSIM works
When you pay, your eSIM is issued straight away by our mobile network partner, emailed to you and added to your account. You install it by scanning a QR code.
In each country the eSIM roams on the local networks listed on that destination's page. Plans are data only, with no contract, and validity starts the first time your phone connects at your destination. On your phone the line shows the name of our partner's home network, “Plus”, rather than “globeSIM”.
How prices are set
Plans are priced in US dollars and shown in your currency at the day's exchange rate.
On our most popular destinations we compare our prices with the cheapest plan of the same size from Airalo, Saily and Nomad, with the date we checked. We mark the cheapest plan in each row, whoever sells it.
How we research destination notes
Every destination page has a short note on networks, coverage and local rules, such as phone registration, blocked apps or internet shutdowns. We use AI tools to help with the research and the writing, and we only keep claims we can back with a current source: operators' and governments' own pages, recent news and recent travel reports. Anything we couldn't confirm is left out.
Each note shows when it was last checked. We re-check the notes every year, and sooner when something changes. If you spot something out of date, please tell us.
Languages
The site is written in English and translated into 10 more languages with the help of AI tools. If a sentence reads oddly in your language, let us know and we'll fix it.
What we've tested ourselves
Before opening the shop we bought an eSIM on this site, installed it on an iPhone and used it in the UAE on the Etisalat (e&) network. Some of the advice in our install guide comes from that test: for example, that the line shows as “Plus” and that it helps to turn off Allow Mobile Data Switching.
Reviews
There are no reviews or customer numbers on this site yet. We'd rather wait for real ones than make them up.
