Traveling to China in 2025 presents a unique challenge for accessing the global internet. Government regulations have tightened significantly, blocking access to many familiar websites and apps — including YouTube, Google, WhatsApp, and Facebook — behind what’s known as the Great Firewall. In this context, travelers often face a tough decision: use a VPN to bypass censorship, or opt for an eSIM designed to provide unrestricted access legally. This guide explains the differences and helps you decide which option is safer and more practical for your trip.

VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) encrypt your internet traffic and route it through servers outside China, allowing access to blocked services. However, their legality, performance, and reliability are complicated.
 Legal status: Unauthorized VPN use is technically illegal unless the provider is approved by the government. Although enforcement on tourists is rare, fines ranging from 500 to over 15,000 yuan (~$70–$2,200) have been imposed,

Switching eSIM providers used to sound complicated — but in 2025, it’s straightforward and usually no “data loss” occurs if you follow the proper steps. Whether switching between travel SIMs, testing new providers for coverage, or planning future trips, providers like RORO eSIM make the transition easy and safe. This guide breaks down everything you need to know.

There are several common reasons travelers and frequent flyers decide to switch eSIM providers:
Better Coverage: Switching to a provider with stronger networks in a particular region.
Cost-Effectiveness: Moving to a service with cheaper or bulk plans that suit your usage.
Plan Variety: Upgrading or downsizing plans depending on your data needs.
New Features: Trying providers with better hotspot support, customer service, or global roaming options.
With eSIMs, switching is much easier than switching physical SIMs — you no longer have to visit a store or wait for a new card in the mail. Most modern devices support multiple eSIM profiles

Hotspot functionality—also known as tethering—is the feature that allows you to share your mobile data connection from your smartphone with other devices such as laptops, tablets, or secondary phones. It’s one of the most useful features of an eSIM, especially when you’re traveling and need to connect multiple devices without buying separate data plans. This guide will explain how hotspot works with eSIM, how to set it up, and what limits you should be aware of, with a special focus on using RORO eSIM.

A hotspot is essentially a portable Wi-Fi network created by your phone. When you activate the hotspot feature on your device, it generates a Wi-Fi signal that other devices can connect to. All the data traffic from those devices is routed through your phone’s cellular data connection – whether it’s provided by an eSIM or a physical SIM.

At its core, the technology behind hotspot sharing is identical for both types of SIMs. The eSIM simply delivers the data connection digitally instead of

When planning your dream trip to Italy—whether you're exploring the ancient ruins of Rome, the fashion streets of Milan, or the canals of Venice—one thing is certain: you’ll need reliable mobile connectivity. In 2025, eSIM technology has become the go-to choice for travelers who want a seamless, affordable, and flexible way to stay connected without the hassle of physical SIM cards. Among the top providers, Roro eSIM stands out as one of the most convenient and cost-effective options for tourists in Italy.

An eSIM (embedded SIM) allows you to activate a mobile data plan digitally, without needing to swap or insert a physical SIM card. This means no hunting for local SIM shops after landing in Italy, and no worrying about losing your primary number. All you need is a compatible smartphone, and you can buy, activate, and start using your plan instantly.

For travelers visiting multiple Italian cities or even hopping across Europe, eSIMs make even more sense. You can easily switch between data

As we move further into 2025, the debate between eSIMs and physical SIM cards has become more relevant for travelers, global business users, and tech-savvy consumers alike. Services like RORO offer both options, but the question remains: which one should you use? Let’s break down the advantages and disadvantages of each so you can make an informed choice.

An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a small digital chip built directly into your device's hardware rather than being a physical card you insert. It holds the same information (such as your carrier credentials and subscriber identity) as a traditional SIM, but you can program it remotely and manage it digitally.

eSIM: Installs via QR code or carrier app and can be activated within minutes. You can switch carriers or add new plans without waiting for a card to arrive. This makes eSIMs ideal for travelers and frequent flyers using providers like RORO — its eSIM plans can be activated before departure, ensuring connectivity upon landing without waiting

When traveling to major U.S. cities like New York City, Las Vegas, or Washington, D.C., mobile connectivity isn’t just convenient—it’s essential. From navigation and food delivery to mobile hotspot for work and seamless streaming, you want a data plan that works across different networks and stays consistent in busy urban areas. That’s where RORO eSIM shines as one of the top solutions for globe-trotting travelers. Here’s why, and how it compares to other leading options.

Coverage in the U.S.: RORO collaborates with over 300 mobile operators in more than 200 countries, including major American carriers like AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile.

Flexible Data Plans: Choose from fixed data plans ranging from 1 GB (great for short trips) to 50 GB (ideal for remote work or media consumption) — all with flexible pay-as-you-go pricing. Unlimited options are available, often with fair-use

Traveling to Turkey in 2025? Staying connected is essential—for messaging, maps, ride-sharing, or uploading travel photos. With recent regulatory changes and new telecom policies, choosing the right eSIM provider can make all the difference. Here’s a detailed comparison of three major providers: roroesim, Holafly, and Airalo, to help you decide which is best for your trip.

Coverage: Uses Turkey’s main carrier Turkcell, with strong 3G/4G/5G coverage nationwide. No ID registration required for most plans, making setup fast and hassle-free. Flexible plans: Fixed data options range from 1 GB (≈ $3) to 50 GB (≈ $60), valid up to 90 days. Unlimited data plans: Available for 2–30 days, with a fair-use cap of 3 GB/day before speed reduction. Hotspot support: Full data sharing on fixed plans; up to 500 MB/day on unlimited plans.

Pre-activation required: Due to restrictions under Turkey’s 2025 telecom law, you need to buy and install your RORO eSIM before arrival. Best for: Travelers who value reliability,

For travelers to Turkey (İstanbul, Ankara, Cappadocia, etc.), staying connected is essential—for navigation, ride apps, translation, messaging. Two common options are Pocket WiFi (a rental device) or an eSIM. Choosing the more cost-effective and practical option depends on your trip length, data usage, ease, and the current regulatory environment. RORO eSIM offers compelling options; let’s compare.

As of July 2025, Turkey’s telecom authority (BTK) has blocked access to websites and apps of several major international eSIM providers (Airalo, Holafly, Nomad, Saily, etc.).  Important: eSIM technology is not banned. The key is to purchase and install the eSIM before entering Turkey; pre-activated profiles continue working.  RORO’s Turkey plans are among those that are compliant and available via their site, offering a range of fixed-data and unlimited plans.

Pocket WiFi rentals tend to have rental fees ≈ US $5-10/day, depending on device, data allowance, and provider. Weekly rental packages

Ski trips in Japan—especially in Niseko, Hokkaido—are magical. Pristine powder, snowy forests, hot springs at night. But staying connected on lifts, in remote lodges, or during après-ski requires a reliable data plan.

RORO eSIM offers good options for Japan, and here’s how to get the best out of them for your ski adventure.
