eSIM for Families Traveling With Kids
For families, the simplest approach is a small eSIM on each traveler's phone so everyone stays online independently, rather than relying on one shared hotspot. Each plan can be sized to that person's usage.
Family setup
Give each phone its own eSIM and size data to each person; kids often need less. For one shared connection, a single plan plus hotspot also works. See family eSIM plans.
Tips
Set up every phone before the trip on home Wi-Fi, and keep parents' home numbers active for school or bank messages.
