eSIM and VPN together
An eSIM gives you data; a VPN protects the connection you make over that data and over any Wi-Fi you join. RedVPN sells both in one app, so the same account covers the eSIM and the VPN. Read about the travel VPN.
US number
RedVPN also offers a US phone number as a second line, in the same app.
Before you buy
- Check that your phone supports eSIM.
- Check the validity of the plan against your trip length.
- Install the eSIM before you board, on Wi-Fi at home or at the gate.
