TARO eSIM

Local network. Local number.

LOCAL NETWORK

Lower latency. Safer network path.

No international roaming chain means less network exposure.

LOCAL NUMBER

Personal number privacy.

Local eSIM number protects your personal number from exposure.

WHY A TRAVEL NUMBER

Use a travel number for bookings and callbacks—not your personal number.

Hotels and drivers may need a number for pickups or changes. Give them the temporary travel number.

A traveler checks a pickup message outside a hotel.
TRAVEL FORMS SUPPORTED CALLBACKS
01

TRAVEL FORMS

Add the travel number when a booking form asks for a phone number.

02

ORDINARY CALLBACKS

Receive supported hotel and driver callbacks.

03

WHEN THE NUMBER EXPIRES

Later calls and messages stop when it expires.

PRIVACY FROM PURCHASE TO EXPIRY

Purchase details stay confidential. Travel contacts receive the temporary number.

  1. WHEN YOU BUY

    Purchase details stay completely confidential.

    Personal and order information provided at purchase stays confidential.

  2. DURING THE TRIP

    Travel businesses receive the temporary number.

    Use it for bookings, while your personal number stays private.

  3. WHEN THE PLAN ENDS

    The travel number expires with the plan.

    Later calls or messages to that expired number no longer reach you.

WHY A LOCAL-NETWORK eSIM

A shorter data path means faster response and fewer roaming handoffs.

Most Taro plans use a network in the destination unless marked as roaming, avoiding the long home-routed detour.

A SHORTER ROUTE

Faster maps, bookings and payments.

REAL-TIME TRAVEL TASKS

More responsive ride updates and navigation.

SMALLER ROAMING CHAIN

Less exposure across roaming networks.

A SMALLER ROAMING CHAIN

A shorter roaming chain means fewer inter-network handoffs.

  1. 01FEWER ROAMING INTERMEDIARIES
  2. 02LESS INTER-NETWORK SIGNALLING EXPOSURE
  3. 03A SMALLER ROAMING-SPECIFIC ATTACK SURFACE

MEASURED DIFFERENCE

A European study measured 230 ms for roaming SIMs versus 170 ms for local SIMs.

Actual performance depends on local coverage, congestion, device and selected plan.
