    What is Esimatic

    Before explaining why motorcyclists should make use of this technology when travelling abroad, let us first give you a little information about what Esimatic is. Esimatic is a technology that connects you with an internet connection abroad. And thanks to this technology, you experience the security of having an uninterrupted internet where you go. Well, how does Esimatic offer uninterrupted internet to people? It connects to the most reliable local networks in the country you want to go to and connects to the one with the strongest signal from those local networks according to your location and thus you have an internet connection. In case you change your location, it reconnects to the local network with the strongest signal in your new destination and prevents your internet connection from weakening. Thanks to affordable esim data plans, you can have an internet connection suitable for your travelling time.

    Stable Internet Connection

    Since the vehicle used by bikers is more dangerous than cars, it is vital that they can be accessible at any time or that they can reach other people at any time. Because an emergency situation may occur on the road and they need to communicate with people in order to prevent or get out of this situation. Thanks to Esimatic technology, bikers can choose data plans for themselves according to their destination, and thanks to these data plans, they can have uninterrupted internet connection and call any person they want at any time via platforms such as WhatsApp or Telegram. At the same time, they can continue to use their traditional sim cards while using Esimatic technology, which means that if someone wants to reach them, they can do so without any problems.

    Free From Local SIM Cards

    People travelling abroad by motorbike usually do not just go to one country and return home from there. They do this in a group and visit more than one country. But when this is the case, if they want to use a local SIM card, they need to buy a different card in each country they visit. Travelling on a motorbike is already quite tiring and people may not like to deal with this. But Esimatic offers a solution to this situation and thanks to the data plans it offers, people travelling abroad by motorbike can have data plans according to how long they will stay at their destination. When they move to another country, they will still be able to use the eSIM data plans they have purchased. This will certainly save them the hassle of buying a new local SIM card in each new country.

    No Roaming Fees

    When travelling abroad, people want to keep their spending under control and the same applies to motorcyclists. If you have travelled abroad before, you will be aware of the roaming charges that local SIM cards impose. These roaming charges can sometimes be annoyingly high and can give users a lot of flexibility, and when people look at their bills, they don't want to pay so much. But this is not the case with Esimatic. Once you buy this technology, you use it until your data plan runs out, and when your data plan runs out, you will not be charged an additional fee, or when your data plan runs out, it will be automatically renewed without your knowledge. Since Esimatic has prepaid data plans, you pay first and then start using the service, so there are no unannounced payments or additional charges that will upset you. Motorcyclists can also use Esimatic if they want to keep their spending under control because nobody likes high roaming charges.

    Instant Usage

    We have already mentioned that motorcyclists may travel to several different countries and may need to use their internet connection in a short period of time. Esimatic technology actually provides people with exactly this. When you use a local sim card, you may have to wait a few days for it to be activated, sometimes it may take a few hours, but in some cases even minutes are important. But if bikers want to take advantage of Esimatic technology, they will be able to activate their data plans in a very short time and start using their internet connection immediately. Thanks to instantly using the internet connection, bikers can find accommodation or places to visit immediately.

    How to Purchase

    In order to benefit from Esimatic txechnology, you must first find out whether your phone is compatible with this technology. To do this, you can review the compatible phones on the main page of the Esimatic website or contact the manufacturer of your phone. What you need to do afterwards is to download the Esimatic application, after downloading this application, you need to examine the country you want to go through the application and the data plans in this country and choose the one that suits you. After making this selection, you make the purchase and download the eSIM according to the country you are going to with the help of the instructions given by the application. After this download, a QR code is sent to you and your internet connection is activated by scanning this code. So if you look at it, this process will actually take a few minutes and will be done in a very short time. As with traditional sim cards, you do not need to wait for the activation process and you can start using your internet connection with peace of mind.
