The story behind BuddySIM

Rafael Gomez, BuddySIM founder and eSIM expert

BuddySIM was born during my parental leave, out of real frustration. Expensive roaming fees, stressful queues at the airport with small children and a complicated hunt for SIM cards on site? It doesn't have to be like that.

A holiday is the best time of the year and should be worry-free! That's why I founded BuddySIM, so you can focus on what matters most on holiday: relaxing and spending time with your loved ones.
