Opera Launches eSIM Offering 3 GB of Free Data in Its Android Browser
Opera has added an eSIM feature for travel to its Android browser. Users receive a free 3 GB data package for the first 3 days. No email address, bank card information or registration is required. The package is activated when the user connects to a mobile network abroad for the first time.
The new feature is available on carrier-unlocked phones that support eSIM and run Android 10 or later. The free package is available to users living in the US, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Canada, the UAE, Brazil, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Poland. The service was developed through a partnership between Opera and Holiday.com. The package works in 47 destinations. The list includes many European countries, as well as Turkey, Georgia, the US, Australia, Egypt, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. The service is for mobile data only and does not replace the user's current phone number. When supported by the network, the connection uses 5G and works in all apps.
To begin setup, users need to tap their profile picture in the Opera browser and open the eSIM menu. The user selects the free package, specifies the country they will be visiting and follows the instructions on the phone. The company recommends completing this process before the trip while connected to a stable Wi-Fi network. After crossing the border, the eSIM must be activated both in the phone's SIM menu and in the browser. After the free package expires, users can purchase paid plans with 3 GB, 5 GB or 10 GB of data. The plans remain active for 30 days after they are first activated and are valid in more than 150 countries. Opera claims that prices are generally 33% lower than those of other major eSIM services. During a test conducted in the United Kingdom, the service was set up without any problems, worked in all apps and was faster than the O2 connection.
