Opera is integrating a travel eSIM directly into its Android browser, offering eligible users 3GB of free data for use across 47 destinations. No credit card details are required to claim the free data, and the eSIM can be managed within the Opera app. The feature allows users to install the eSIM before travel and keep it on their phone for future trips, eliminating the need to re-setup connectivity each time.
To claim the free 3GB, users must update Opera for Android, navigate to the Profile icon, select eSIM, tap Claim, choose their destination country, and confirm activation. The offer is currently available to users in the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Canada, UAE, Brazil, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Poland, though the eSIM itself works in more destinations. Opera highlights that the feature simplifies international connectivity by removing the need for separate apps or physical SIM swaps.
The integration aligns with Opera’s recent additions like multi-model AI search, positioning the browser as a feature-rich alternative. Sanuj, a tech writer with experience at Pocketnow, Android Police, and others, covers the development as part of Android Central’s reporting.
