Roam Launches Premium eSIM for Global Connectivity

Roam has unveiled its upcoming Premium eSIM at the Solana Accelerate: Ship or Die conference in New York. This innovative feature offers secure, high-speed mobile connectivity by integrating data, voice, and SMS into a single eSIM. The Premium eSIM is accessible in over 160 countries, eliminating the need for physical SIM cards and roaming fees, thereby providing a seamless global communication experience.

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.

Users can now join the pre-sale registration for the Premium eSIM through the Roam App. To register, users must verify their email, complete KYC, and top up their account balance. These steps were demonstrated live at the Solana Accelerate event, showcasing just how easy it is to get started. The Premium eSIM will be officially launched and available in the coming days.

Key features of the Roam Premium eSIM include an Austria-based phone number for global calling and messaging, reliable service across 160+ countries and regions, an all-in-one eSIM for high-speed data, voice calls, and SMS, no physical SIM required, zero roaming fees, flexible payment options, and account management through the Roam App for better control and transparency.

Activating the Premium eSIM is a simple and straightforward process in the Roam App. Users need to download the Roam App, create an account, top up the account with a minimum balance of $20, verify and link an email address, complete KYC verification, and activate the Premium eSIM. Existing Roam Global eSIM users can easily switch between the Global eSIM and Premium eSIM, with any remaining data automatically transferring to the active eSIM. Please note that only one eSIM can be active at a time.

At the conference, Roam also announced its integration with the Solana Attestation Service (SAS), making it one of the first projects to adopt this decentralized identity verification and trust certification system. Built on the Solana blockchain, SAS is a new open-source, permissionless protocol to attest to anything – the trust layer for internet capital markets.

The integration with the Solana Attestation Service and the new Premium eSIM elevates Roam’s capabilities from global connectivity to breaking barriers in telecom accessibility through Solana. Moving forward, Roam will continue collaborating with more Web3 and Web2 companies, along with multinational organizations, to revolutionize global connectivity and redefine how people stay connected.
