View company profile

We started Holafly back in 2017, born from our own frustrating travel experiences. Co-founders Pedro and Lidia found themselves in Thailand without a reliable internet connection, and that sparked a simple but powerful idea: what if travelers could easily purchase data plans for any destination right from their home country? We wanted to eliminate the hassle of searching for local SIM cards, dealing with language barriers, and worrying about exorbitant roaming charges. Our mission is to empower every traveler with seamless internet connectivity, no matter where their adventures take them. We believe that staying connected should be simple, affordable, and stress-free, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: enjoying your journey.

Since our beginnings in Spain, we've grown into a global team of over 500 passionate individuals located all around the world. We're proud to have helped millions of travelers stay connected in over 200 destinations. Our passion for travel and technology drives us to constantly innovate and improve our services. We were early adopters of eSIM technology, recognizing its potential to revolutionize travel connectivity. This commitment to innovation allows us to offer features like unlimited data in many destinations, instant activation via a QR code, and 24/7 customer support to give you complete peace of mind. We're not just a company; we're a community of travelers dedicated to making global exploration more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. We're also committed to our planet, striving to become a carbon-neutral company by encouraging the use of digital eSIMs over physical ones.
