imo-International Calls & Chat 4+

I used the service in Costa Rica in May of 2023. I lost service one time down a side street but the power was out in the city at the time I later learned so that may have been the cause idk. I only lost service for about 5 mins maybe and it was just in that exact spot. It worked again when I got off that street and around the corner. After that I had no issues for the remaining time I was there. I have a 13 Pro Max. I didn’t use much data so I think I bought the smallest amount and it lasted me for my entire vacation of several days. I would suggest purchasing in the airport on Wi-Fi or data and installing before you leave the U.S. or w/e airport and Wi-Fi if you can. You can Google the best instructions but I did not have any issues with installing, the internet worked etc. I will say that I don’t do much social media and I was too busy to be streaming much so a few gigs is more than enough for me.

We are traveling to Brazil where it’s difficult to find reliable traveler SIM cards. It’s not impossible, but not easy, especially when you’re trying to coordinate pickups from the airport before you can even make it to a phone store.

This is where Airlo comes in. With the 15 minutes of free WiFi at the airport, I was able to buy my eSIM, install it, and connect to the top cell network in the country, and all for a very reasonable fee. Once the free WiFi ran out, I had no issues easily communicating with our ride, family, and friends locally, and back home, over the cell data network.

I brought an international cell booster for the family to connect to because we thought it would be easier than finding SIM cards for everyone, but Airlo is so cheap and easy that the cell booster hasn’t even left our bags and everyone just has the Airlo eSIMs installed.

Having traveled for the past 20 years, it’s been incredible to see how much technology has progressed to make the experience ever more enjoyable. I’m so thrilled to have found imo to purchase an eSIM cellular data plan to use while I travel abroad. I hadn’t heard of them before, so I was hesitant to try them out. However, the reviews seemed good and the prices were attractive.

Instead of paying high prices for international data passes from your home carrier, it’s much cheaper and better to instead install an eSIM with a prepaid data plan that works at high-speed and allows you to choose how much data you want to have and for how long.

Installation was straightforward and simple. Should you run out of data, it’s easy to top it off by purchasing another pass.

My only suggestions that would make the App and experience better would be to have a troubleshooting guide. For instance, I had to turn off data roaming on my eSIM plan to actually be able to use it. It would have been nice to know that the carrier I was using wasn’t actually local or based in the countries I was visiting. Also, it would be great to be warned or notified when you’re close to running out of data as once you do, you can’t top it off or buy more unless you connect to wifi. Other than that, the experience was perfect!
