Research methodology & corrections policy
How AloOui develops, describes, updates and corrects its travel connectivity research. These standards are intended to make our published findings easier to evaluate and cite.
1. Research scope and independence
AloOui is a travel eSIM retailer. Some studies analyze our own product catalogue or transaction-derived patterns, while other articles summarize publicly available travel connectivity information. These are different evidence types. We identify the relevant source and do not present retailer-specific findings as representative of all providers or travelers.
Research content is informational, not a guarantee of network coverage, price, speed or service availability. Commercial interests and limitations should be considered when interpreting findings.
2. Collection and inclusion criteria
Each original study should state its observation date or period, geographic coverage, source population, definitions, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the number of observations when available. Comparable units and plan validity periods should be used for price comparisons; different plan types should not be silently mixed.
For the Global Travel eSIM Affordability Index 2026, 247 active AloOui products were screened; 196 eligible single-destination products had both fixed 5 GB / 30-day and 10 GB / 30-day variants. The resulting 392 retail USD price observations are an AloOui catalogue snapshot dated 31 October 2026, not a multi-provider price survey.
3. Calculations and reproducibility
Where a study reports derived metrics, its definitions and calculation methods should be explained. For the price snapshot, USD price per GB equals the observed retail USD price divided by the stated fixed allowance in GB. Rounding may affect displayed figures. Researchers should use the full underlying observations rather than infer precision from rounded display values.
4. Evidence, uncertainty and limitations
- Separate measured observations from qualitative advice, estimates and illustrative examples.
- Explain missing data, sample restrictions and known comparability limits.
- Do not extrapolate AloOui catalogue prices to competitors or the global eSIM market.
- Coverage, speed, roaming conditions, airport Wi-Fi access and retail prices can change after publication.
- When external information is used, identify sources and their relevant dates where feasible.
5. Review and updates
Research should be reviewed when important source data, definitions or market conditions change. A new observation period is a new snapshot; it should not silently replace historical observations. Substantive revisions should be dated and explained on the affected report. A published date alone does not mean every figure is continuously refreshed.
6. Corrections and clarifications
Readers may report factual errors, broken data links, misleading labels, calculation issues or missing context through AloOui's contact page. Please include the report URL, the specific statement or row, and supporting evidence. We review reported issues and, when warranted, correct the affected page and dataset, record material changes and clarify whether conclusions were affected. We do not promise a fixed response time or imply that every reported concern has been independently audited.
7. Citation and reuse
Cite AloOui as publisher, the exact report title and URL, the observation date, and the scope of the data. For the affordability dataset, describe it as an AloOui retail catalogue snapshot. Do not label it an independent market-wide ranking. Contact AloOui before assuming permissions beyond ordinary citation or linking; the downloadable file does not by itself grant an unrestricted reuse license.
