What is Globie?
Globie is an eSIM marketplace that sells prepaid international data plans for travelers in 190+ countries and regions. Plans are delivered digitally and installed by email link before departure, then activate automatically when the device connects to a local network. It is built for travelers carrying eSIM-capable smartphones who want predictable data costs abroad without paying carrier roaming or hunting for a local SIM at the airport.
Why Globie works
Carrier roaming is unpredictable in price and a physical SIM means losing your home number for the trip. Globie sells a single, pre-installed data eSIM that runs in parallel with the user's primary SIM, so calls and messages on the home number keep working while data is billed at a transparent prepaid rate that the traveler saw before takeoff.
Globie features
- Country and regional plans. Sells eSIMs covering single countries or multi-country regions across 190 plus destinations so travelers buy one plan instead of stitching together local SIMs.
- Three-step install flow. Walks users through select a destination, install via the email link, and connect on arrival so setup happens before the flight, not at the curb.
- Parallel SIM compatibility. Runs alongside the user's physical SIM so calls, iMessage, and WhatsApp on the home number keep working while data uses the Globie plan.
- Flexible plan durations. Offers plans from a few days to multiple months so a weekend traveler and a digital nomad both find a fitting size.
- Usage tracking and extensions. Shows remaining data in-app and allows topping up an active plan so travelers do not run out mid-trip.
