Partner with SmartRoam: The eSIM Solution Your Customers Actually Want

The travel eSIM market has a dirty little secret: most of the 50 million people using them are pretty frustrated with how they work.

Here's what typically happens. You download an eSIM profile for your destination. Use it for a week. Delete it when you leave. Download a different one for your next trip. Repeat this dance every time you travel, hoping each new profile actually connects when you need it most.

According to recent data, 83% of eSIM users find this profile-switching process annoying. Which makes sense—it shouldn't be this complicated.

Why Most eSIMs Feel Like a Compromise

Most travel eSIM companies are resellers. They buy wholesale connectivity, add their markup, and sell it through an app. There's nothing inherently wrong with this model, but it creates limitations: multiple middlemen, inconsistent quality, and that nagging feeling that you're not getting the full picture.

SmartRoam takes a different approach. We're a licensed mobile network operator with direct relationships with carriers in 190+ countries. Instead of reselling someone else's service, we built our own compliant infrastructure with 130+ years of combined telecom experience.

One eSIM That Actually Stays Put

The core difference is simple: SmartRoam is a permanent eSIM. Download it once, then just add bundles when you travel. No deleting, no reinstalling, no switching between profiles.

Your phone stays connected across destinations without you having to manage multiple eSIM profiles. It's how eSIM should have worked from the beginning.

The Market Opportunity

If you're already offering eSIM services to customers, you know the demand is real. If you're a travel content creator looking to monetise your audience, this space is worth paying attention to.

The fundamentals are solid:

• 50+ million travellers already use eSIMs

• People understand the concept and value

• Current solutions have clear pain points

• Customers are actively looking for better options

You're not introducing a new technology—you're offering a better implementation of something people already want.

What This Means for Affiliates

• Better conversion rates. When the product actually solves the main customer complaint, it's easier to recommend.

• Higher customer satisfaction. Fewer support headaches when connectivity works as expected.

• Improved economics. Direct network relationships mean better pricing for everyone in the chain.

• Simpler positioning. Instead of explaining why eSIM is better than physical SIM cards, you can focus on why SmartRoam is better than other eSIMs.

For Travel Influencers

Your audience is already buying travel connectivity. The question is whether they're buying it from you or finding it elsewhere.

SmartRoam gives you something genuinely differentiated to offer. Not just another eSIM app with slightly different pricing, but a fundamentally different approach that addresses the main friction point people complain about.

When your recommendations actually improve someone's travel experience, they remember. That's how you build the kind of trust that generates long-term revenue.

The Technical Advantages

Multiple carrier relationships per country provide better coverage. Direct network integration means faster speeds and more reliable connections. Transparent pricing without hidden middleman markups.

From a user experience perspective, it's enterprise-grade connectivity with consumer-friendly simplicity.

Getting Started

The affiliate program has no upfront costs or inventory requirements. You get access to a product that addresses real customer pain points, with commission structures that reflect the value you're providing.

The 50 million people already using travel eSIMs aren't going to stop traveling or revert to physical SIM cards. They're just waiting for someone to solve the obvious problems with current solutions.
