Holafly Review

At Holafly you do not pick a volume but days, unlimited. In Japan, read on their site on 11 September 2026: €18.50 for 5 days, €33.90 for 10 days, €68.90 for 30 days. The daily price falls with length, so take the exact length of your stay, no more, no less.

Yes, tethering is available, but with a quota that depends on the plan: Holafly advertises it unlimited on its monthly plans and per daily allowance on destination eSIMs, the shareable total varying with the duration. Read the plan page before buying if you intend to connect a laptop.

An eSIM works on most smartphones released after 2019: iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, Google Pixel 3 and later. Your phone must be carrier-unlocked. Our eSIM-compatible phones page lists the models.

Yes. Most recent smartphones handle a physical SIM (calls, texts, your number) and an eSIM from Holafly (mobile data) side by side. You keep your usual number and use the eSIM for the Internet.

Yes, and the rule is public: full refund if the eSIM was not activated, within 6 months of purchase, including for an incompatible phone (screenshot required). For a faulty connection, contact support first; the refund is full or pro rata. Outside these cases a $3.50 fee applies. Request it at help@holafly.com, processed within 5 to 10 working days.

No. A Holafly eSIM gives you a standard data connection on the local network: messaging, banking apps, video and VPNs work normally, subject to the visited country's own restrictions.

Data is unlimited, so there is no volume to top up. If your stay runs longer, you buy extra days from the app or the site. Outside a plan, the Always On perk keeps 1 GB of backup data a month in 150+ countries.
