Holafly data plans at a glance
| Plan type | Best for | Data | With THEDUFRESNES |
|---|---|---|---|
| Destination eSIM | Single-destination trips | Unlimited | 5% off |
| Regional eSIM | Multi-destination trips | Unlimited | 5% off |

Every Holafly plan includes Always On: 1 GB of backup data each month across 150+ destinations, free, that keeps working even after your plan ends as long as you keep the eSIM installed.
Plan type 1: Destination eSIMs
What it is: unlimited data for a single destination, priced by the number of days. Available for 200+ destinations — the USA, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Mexico, France, Costa Rica, and just about anywhere else.
How pricing works: you pick your dates and the price scales with length — the longer the plan, the lower the daily rate. The standard ladder runs $11.90 (3 days) → $20.50 (5) → $27.50 (7) → $36.50 (10) → $50.50 (15) → $73.90 (30). Your plan starts when you arrive and activate, not at purchase, so buying ahead costs nothing.
Data sharing: you can tether about 1 GB/day to another device — fine for a partner's maps and messaging (unlimited hotspot is a Plans feature, below).
Who it's for: anyone on a trip to one destination — two weeks in Thailand, a week in France, a long weekend in New York.
With THEDUFRESNES: 5% off. (One exception: the North America regional plan — USA + Canada + Mexico — is priced above the standard ladder.)
Plan type 2: Regional eSIMs
What it is: one eSIM covering a whole region with unlimited data and automatic switching as you cross borders. Regional options include:
- Europe — 33 destinations on one plan
- Latin America — Mexico down to Argentina
- Asia / Southeast Asia — Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and more
- North America — USA, Canada, Mexico (priced above the standard ladder)
- Plus Middle East, Africa, Oceania, Caribbean, and cruise plans
Regional eSIMs sit on the same price ladder as single-destination eSIMs — so a Europe eSIM covers 33 destinations for the price of one country. That's the value angle Holafly's own site never spells out.
How it works: cross a border and the eSIM connects to the strongest local network automatically — no settings, no new SIM, no gap. On our own travels we've crossed from Thailand into Vietnam and Costa Rica into Panama on regional plans; the handoff was seamless.
Who it's for: multi-destination trips — a European summer, a Southeast Asia route, a Central America overland trip. With THEDUFRESNES: 5% off.
Plan type 3: Holafly Plans (Light, Unlimited & Ultra)
The one most travelers haven't heard of — and for frequent travelers, the best value Holafly offers. A subscription covering 160+ destinations on one eSIM: no buying a plan per trip, it just works wherever you land. Plans come in three tiers.
Plans Light
- 25 GB of data per month across 160+ destinations
- 25 GB of hotspot per month
- Always On included, cancel anytime
- Monthly: $49.90 → $44.91 (10% off) · Annual: $456.26/year (~$38.02/mo)
Plans Unlimited
- Unlimited data across 160+ destinations
- Unlimited hotspot — tether laptops and tablets freely
- Optional local number (US/UK/Canada — receiving SMS like bank codes)
- Always On included, cancel anytime
- Monthly: $64.90 → $58.41 (10% off) · Quarterly: ~$52.79/mo (up to 20% off) · Annual: ~$566/year (~$47.17/mo, up to 30% off)
Plans Ultra (new — Holafly's top tier)
Launched October 2026, Ultra is a new premium tier above Unlimited. It keeps everything Unlimited gives you — unlimited data and hotspot across 160+ destinations, plus the 2FA phone number — and adds a whole layer beyond connectivity:
- Everything in Unlimited (unlimited data + hotspot + phone number)
- Flight protection — delayed/cancelled flight claims managed for you
- Luggage protection — fast payout for a lost bag, plus recovery help
- 24/7 medical chat (general medicine & pediatrics) and scheduled video sessions with psychologists, nutritionists, and trainers
- Monthly: $81.86 (10% off) · Quarterly: $223.16 (up to 20% off) · Annual: $792.86/year (~$66/mo, up to 30% off)
The break-even math: a 30-day USA destination eSIM is $73.90. Plans Unlimited monthly with the code is $58.41 — cheaper, and it covers 159 more destinations plus unlimited hotspot. If your trips run 30+ days or you travel several times a year, Plans wins.
Which Holafly plan should you choose?
- One destination, under 30 days → Destination eSIM. Pick your dates, apply THEDUFRESNES for 5% off.
- One trip, multiple destinations → Regional eSIM. One plan, automatic border switching, 5% off.
- A trip of 30+ days → Plans Unlimited monthly ($58.41). Cheaper than a long destination eSIM, cancel when home.
- A season abroad (3–4 months) → Plans Unlimited quarterly (~$52.79/mo, up to 20% off).
- Several trips a year / full-time travel → Plans Unlimited annual (~$566/yr, up to 30% off).
- Frequent traveler, lighter data → Plans Light annual (~$456/yr). 25 GB/month covers maps, messaging, and browsing.
- Want protection + medical/mental-health support on top of data → Plans Ultra ($81.86/mo, up to 30% off annually).
What every Holafly plan includes
- Unlimited data (or 25 GB on Light) — no overage charges
- Always On — 1 GB monthly backup across 150+ destinations, free, while the eSIM stays installed
- 4G/LTE/5G on local networks, where available
- Keep your home SIM active — your number and WhatsApp stay live
- Instant email delivery — install via QR code in minutes
- 24/7 live chat support · 6-month money-back guarantee, subject to policy conditions
There's no hard data cap on the unlimited plans; a fair-use policy can briefly manage speeds during heavy congestion.
What travelers say
Across travel communities, the most common discovery is exactly what this page covers: most people only know Holafly's destination eSIMs and find out about the Plans subscriptions later — usually after adding up a year's worth of individual eSIMs. Frequent travelers who switch to Plans describe it as the point where they stopped thinking about connectivity. Remote workers single out the unlimited hotspot, and the optional phone number comes up repeatedly as the fix for bank verification codes.
