Frequent travelers struggle with the fragmented eSIM ecosystem — manually swapping eSIMs every 24 hours is tedious and error-prone, requiring multiple steps including enabling roaming and setting data defaults. Finding cost-effective short-term data options for specific destinations is time-consuming, and sharing or transferring unused eSIM data is nearly impossible with current tools.
A mobile app that automates eSIM profile switching on a scheduled or trigger-based basis, handling all configuration steps (data routing, roaming toggles) automatically. The platform also aggregates eSIM deals from multiple providers by destination and duration, enabling travelers to find the cheapest option in seconds and activate it with one tap. A secondary peer marketplace feature lets travelers offload unused eSIM time to others in the same destination.
eSIM adoption is accelerating rapidly as Apple, Google, and major carriers push the standard globally, yet management tooling remains primitive and fragmented. The post-pandemic travel surge has created millions of frequent international travelers actively seeking cheaper, more flexible connectivity solutions.

All three operators should be OK in the big cities. I don't know the offers for tourist, but you can easily buy a prepaid SIM from operator shops, e.g. in a shopping mall. All of them have dedicated data sims, which are intended to be used and thrown away (e.g. Vivacom Data2Go 80GB for 13E). Depending on how long you will stay - some of these sims have "unlimited" data for some initial period. Another option is to get a "regular" sim and if necessary - recharge, e.g. A1 Hit or Vivacom Free2Go. A recharge of about 8E will give you additional 30-35 GB, but I am not sure whether recharging is user-friendly for an English-speaking foreigner. Nothing stops you from buying prepaid sims from 2 different operators - with the latest euro prices you will spend more for a burger 🤣. I would avoid sims with roaming as this will route your traffic to the country of the operator first and this may add some unnecessary delay.
Uh, and that is how we facilitate it with, uh, with Firstin. Yes. So I want to kind of like mix, mix the, the, my experience and your description. So it happened to me exactly, exactly. We used to travel the town Southeast Asia, you changed to a SIM and it's a pain because then you're fanking up, it's like, it's in another SIM and you don't get the SMS. It's painful. But then it's like the eSIMs, my phone is not that old. Yeah, but it doesn't support eSIMs. Exactly. And then it's a pain because then I still have to find the workaround. I agree. Yeah. So how does Firstin work, like, how bring me? So, so what we do is we do not necessarily rely on eSIM technology. We believe that simply that everybody in the globe should be able to have a connection. And we see that partners, fintech players and, and right heading partners want to enable that because it improves their user experience as well. So how we do that is we provide a platform. Normally as a user, you're connected to one operator, let's say a Singtel or an AT&T. And then that operator decides whether you have a connection or not. And they decide the price on a global scale. With Firstin, you connect with Firstin. And Firstin connects with almost every operator across the globe. So as a consumer, once you're connected to Firstin, you always get the local price. You can keep calling, you can keep having, having the same bundle.
