How to understand Surfroam eSIM GLOBAL rates?
We use a simple rate system for Surfroam, as described below.
A single Surfroam eSIM and SIM contain multiple SIM profiles called IMSIs, which are stored onboard in SIM or eSIM memory.
Each IMSI connects to different networks within a country, and each IMSI has its own pricing.
So, it is simple:
ONE Country = Many IMSI
ONE IMSI = ONE Rate
Why does Surfroam eSIM use multiple IMSIs?
Having multiple IMSIs gives you more flexibility to:
- Get better data rates
- Improve coverage in remote or city areas
- Switch networks if one has connectivity issues
You can rely on automatic IMSI selection or manually choose **one upon arrival—or even **before your journey.
How Surfroam Rates Work:
- Different IMSIs on Each SIM Type
- Surfroam SIM includes IMSI 2, 10, 22, and 23
- Surfroam eSIM includes IMSI 2, 7, 10, 22, 25, and 26
- Multiple IMSIs Available per Country
- In some countries, multiple IMSIs allow access to different networks.
