In today's interconnected world, most of us can’t imagine going totally offline even when we’re on holiday. Having a  seamless and reliable connection is essential for a stress-free vacation. Let's explore why roaming services are becoming an increasingly popular choice for travellers!

CONVENIENT

Thinking of whether to opt for a data roaming plan or buy a local prepaid SIM card for your next trip? With giga, you can enjoy the convenience of using just one SIM or eSIM for both local and overseas use. That means you don’t need to go through the hassle of swapping out your sim card every time you cross the border. All our plans come with free Asia roaming data that can be used across 5 travel destinations: South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and India. Furthermore, all 5G plan comes with free International roaming supported across 34 destinations.To enjoy even more roaming data, you can purchase them directly within the giga App.

COST-EFFECTIVE

Gone are the days of exorbitant roaming charges. Today's roaming plans are competitively priced and offer great value for money. For instance, you can travel with giga from as low as $5/1GB and stack on more data packs according to your usage needs. The best part? You will never experience any bill shocks because your roaming data packs would be automatically deactivated once all the data has been used up. Your data roaming usage can also be tracked in real time within the giga App.

The cost of local prepaid SIM cards, however, vary according to different service providers. It is best to purchase them only from trusted retailers to avoid getting overcharged and scammed, but it might be difficult to make the right judgement when you’re unfamiliar with the local environment.
 

SEAMLESS CONNECTIVITY

Data roaming allows you to stay connected as soon as you land, without any interruption in service. Our gigaRoam packs are automatically activated upon arrival at your travel destination so you don’t need to worry about a complicated set-up process or being stuck without data. You also have the option of choosing from a range of network operators to ensure you always get the best connection available wherever you go. With local prepaid SIM cards, you are usually tied to a single network, so you’ll need to make sure you’re choosing a reliable network.
