Touch 'n Go (TNG) eWallet has launched its new travel eSIM service, providing roaming across 149 countries, including Japan, South Korea, China, and Singapore.

For those unaware, eSIMs are a digital version of SIM cards that are built into certain smartphones, removing the need to swap out a physical SIM card when switching to a roaming number or activating a new mobile plan.

The feature, available in the TNG eWallet app, is intended to provide seamless connectivity while travelling and avoid incurring any unexpected charges.

Users can subscribe by tapping the "More" button on the app's home screen and navigating to the "GOtravel" section. From there, they simply select "Travel eSIM," choose their destination, and pick a data plan.

There is also the option of selecting a multi-country roaming plan for travellers who will be visiting multiple countries during a single trip, with the plans' validity period ranging from seven days to an entire month.

Those interested in utilising the feature should make sure to check the list of supported devices in the TNG eWallet app beforehand to ensure their smartphone is compatible.
