Hungarian Wizz Air starts new data roaming service helping all passengers

Hungary’s low-cost airline, Wizz Air, initiated a brand-new season ticket this month. Now, they announced the introduction of another innovative scheme, the so-called eSIM service. The new option will help you get a high-quality and reliable mobile data service in 150 countries. Furthermore, you may use it for 12 months, and it is capable of 5G. However, it can be adapted to only the newer smartphone models.

“Say No to fiddly plastic cards and high roaming charges”, the Hungarian low-cost airline, says about its brand-new service, the eSim. “Just scan our QR code and install your data roaming package as an eSIM or “embedded SIM” in a matter of minutes”, the airline says.

However, not all mobile phones are supported. Among the iPhones, only XS and up (2018), while in the case of the Android models, only the newer ones. The service helps the user access low-cost, 5G enabled – where available – mobile data in over 150 countries worldwide, without having to switch over physical SIMs. HERE is the list of eSIM-capable phones.
