Roam Launches Premium eSIM: A Global Voice, SMS, and Data Solution for Global Connectivity
Roam has officially launched Premium eSIM —a full-service mobile solution combining voice, SMS, and high-speed data. Available in over 160 countries, the Premium eSIM can be activated instantly via the Roam App with no physical SIM card or roaming fees required. This marks a new phase in Roam's mission to make secure, decentralized mobile connectivity accessible to everyday users and global organizations alike.
An All-in-One eSIM for Global Connectivity
The Premium eSIM represents the next evolution of Roam's connectivity solutions, building on the success of the Roam Global eSIM, which offers data-only service. The Premium eSIM expands this by adding voice call and SMS capabilities, creating a complete communication solution for global travelers.
One eSIM, Three Services: Includes inbound/outbound voice calls, two-way SMS, and 5G mobile data
International Phone Number: Each user receives an Austria-based number for international calls, texts, and app verification (e.g. TikTok, YouTube, Grab)
Zero Roaming Fees: Usage is billed at local rates upon arrival, with no additional roaming charges applied.
Flexible Payment Options: Supports credit card auto-renewals, USDC/USDT, Alipay, and the $ROAM token (coming soon).
Free, Never-Expiring Data: Earn free eSIM data with no expiration date by checking in at Roam WiFi hotspots or staking tokens.
Users can activate the service through a simple in-app flow, which includes a $20 balance top-up and a quick KYC process (a $2 processing fee applies). All balance, data usage, and call records can be easily managed within the Roam app, with no need for manual support.
Next-Gen eSIM Connectivity Powered by Web3
Roam Premium eSIM is more than just a mobile product, it is a decentralized communication gateway powered by blockchain technologies. With integrations such as:
Solana Attestation Service (SAS): Enables Roam to issue globally verified phone numbers, with Solana providing the essential identity certification layer.
DID + VCs (Decentralized Identifiers and Verifiable Credentials): Protect user privacy while validating identity and activity on-chain
On-Chain Loyalty & Rewards: Actions like Check-Ins, token/points burning, and staking, are fully recorded and verifiable
This technology makes Roam one of the few projects to offer real-world telecom utilities powered by Web3 infrastructure
Global Expansion & Future Plans
With the Premium eSIM now live, Roam is accelerating its expansion into Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia, building distribution and ecosystem partnerships across:
Web3 exchanges and wallets
DeFi protocols and dApps
OTAs, travel agencies, and airlines
Cross-border enterprise networks
Roam's long-term vision is to turn connectivity into a universally accessible service—where users can move across borders, activate global plans, and earn value all through one unified app.
