The End of the $10 Travel Pass: ViaConecta Disrupts the eSIM Market with $2 Data Plans for USA & Europe
BARCELONA, SPAIN - January 26, 2026 - As global travel bookings for Spring 2026 hit record highs, millions of tourists are bracing for the inevitable "bill shock" from their mobile carriers. Legacy providers continue to charge upwards of $10 per day for basic international roaming. Today, European travel-tech startup ViaConecta announces the global launch of its iOS app, effectively declaring the end of overpriced roaming fees.ViaConecta allows travelers to download a digital SIM card (eSIM) directly to their iPhone in seconds, bypassing the need for expensive airport kiosks or carrier contracts.
The "Coffee Index": Connectivity for Less Than an Espresso While competitors and major carriers keep prices high, ViaConecta has launched with aggressive pricing designed to capture the mass market immediately:
USA Travel Data: Starting at just €1.90 (approx. $2.00).
Europe Bundle: Seamless coverage across the EU from €1.90.
Japan High-Speed: 5G connectivity starting at €2.90.
"The era of paying $100 just to use Google Maps during a week-long trip is over," says the Founder of ViaConecta. "We built ViaConecta because we believe connectivity is a basic necessity, not a luxury product. If you can afford a cup of coffee at the airport, you can afford to stay connected for your entire trip with us."
Key Features for the Modern Traveler:
Instant Activation: No waiting. The eSIM is active the moment the plane lands.
Hotspot Included: Unlike many budget competitors, ViaConecta allows users to share data with laptops or friends at no extra cost.
Top-Tier Networks: The app connects directly to premium local carriers (such as AT&T in the US and Orange in Europe) ensuring 5G/4G LTE speeds, not throttled 3G.
The ViaConecta app is now available for download globally on the Apple App Store.
