The eSIM market is increasingly in turmoil. I honestly wonder how I survived in all my travels without it. I recently recounted what are the best eSIMs for foreign travel., but today I want to tell about a new supplier named Jetpac.
Jetpac's eSIMs
In this article:
Of course we are talking about a new player in this market, but one that in order to make itself known has made a clever marketing choice that comes with every eSim sold. Free access to Priority Pass lounges.
Is your plane delayed? You can get into the lounge for free
Before I recount my first experience with Jetpac and the technical details. I want to explain the special feature of free lounge access, a killer application that is sure to be a feature that will attract a lot of customers.
If the flight takes off more than 1 hour late, the eSIM holder will automatically have a voucher on the app that allows him and up to 5 companions to enter a lounge for free Of the network priority pass (if any at that airport).
In case you decide not to use the voucher on the delayed flight, it will not be lost, but can be used for an entry on a new flight.
How does jetpac know that the flight is delayed
Those who buy an eSIM have time Up to 3 hours before the flight to record trip data on the app. At that point the flight is monitored and so as APP in the Air alert you if your flight is delayed, jetpac will know in real time When to trigger insurance for one's client.
The app, in case of a delay, will send a notification to the customer's cell phone notifying that the voucher has been activated. The free entry can be used in a PP network lounge in the airport by showing the QR on the app.
eSIMs as low as 1$ with Jetpac
The thing that struck me was the price since the packages start at 1$ for a 1gb to be consumed in 4 days, a perfect package for those who take short trips like me, or for those who want to be sure that the service works properly before making a higher value recharge.
In addition to national eSIMs, there are regional eSIMs, which are perfect for the on-the-road trips that are often made to many parts of the world. Of course, is present the function that is essential for me, which is the ability to do hotspot and then use the line simultaneously on as many devices as you want.
My first Jetpac eSIM
I tested the service in recent days in Japan, I was given a voucher resetting the cost of the first eSIM to let me test the product and I must say that, net of a not-yet-perfect app, everything went smoothly.
I was able to buy, pay with apple pay, install the eSIM before leaving for Japan and finally use the connection as soon as I landed in Tokyo.
Introduce a friend and Jetapck gives you 5$
Fundamental is word of mouth and so for each new customer who starts using the service the presenter and the presented will get 5$ credit, enough to zero or nearly zero the cost of the first eSIM.
The operation is simple each user has a personal code that can be sent to friends and acquaintances to download the app and activate the service. In addition, TFC readers Have a monthly discount code available Until the end of June, it will be possible to use FLIGHTCLUB06 to get 10% discount on all eSIMs bought.
In addition to this feature, there is the possibility of buying a third-party eSIM, a very useful service when you need to support less smart friends and relatives in using cell phones around the world.
Why use Jetpac and not eSIMs from Vodafone, TIM and Wind
The main difference is 24-hour chat support, something that is practically a mirage with traditional operators, and above all a ubiquity of coverage with the choice of different denominations and packages according to individual needs.
Even at the price level the Jetpac's eSIMs are more affordable than those offered by TIM or Wind, not to mention that no operator such as Vodafone or TIM gives away lounge access if the flight is delayed.
In conclusion
I had a very good time going around Tokyo, I received notifications alerting me of data consumption, so I kept track of everything and never lost signal. It is activated in a few clicks and used immediately.
As usual, before I recommend a product I want to use it myself on my skin and I can confirm that all the necessary functions such as notifications, hotspot and the app worked perfectly.
