When you and your family land in a new country, you won't have to worry about finding a local SIM card. With Airalo, you can purchase eSIM plans for each family member before you leave or share your data plan using the personal hotspot feature.

Practical Tips for Using Airalo eSIMs with Your Family

Managing multiple eSIMs for your family can be straightforward and hassle-free. A Reddit user shared their experience on a family trip, highlighting how easy it is to manage eSIMs using a single Airalo account:

"You can use one account to buy 3 of the same eSIMs. Then you scan the QR code for each eSIM onto the respective phone. Airalo also allows you to name the eSIMs, so you will know which eSIM is on which phone so you can top up etc. as necessary. I did it on a recent trip and it was great."
