AloOui Plan Types — 2026 Overview

We offer 8 plan categories to match every type of traveler and trip. Here's a quick snapshot:

One eSIM that works across an entire region — Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, North America, Middle East, and more. No need to buy a new plan every time you cross a border.

Also available: Latin America (from $8.26), Middle East, Europe, and more. View all regional plans →
