Question 1

What is BLINK's Flat Rate Internet?

Accepted Answer

BLINK eSIM offers flat-rate internet at $3.50 + VAT per day in almost all countries, giving you unlimited data under our Fair Usage Policy (FUP). One eSIM works for all the countries, no need to switch or download a new eSIM for each trip. Your internet service renews automatically every midnight, as long as there's sufficient balance in your BLINK eSIM wallet. If you reach the daily data limit, which is rare with normal use, your speed will be reduced, but you'll still stay connected. This ensures you have continuous and affordable internet access while traveling, with no need to worry about data limits or manual configurations!

Question 2

How does the Flat Rate Internet work?

Accepted Answer

Once you install your BLINK eSIM, we recommend installing it before you travel, the flat rate internet automatically activates when you arrive at your destination. The daily rate of $3.50 is then deducted from your wallet balance, providing you with unlimited data under our Fair Usage Policy. Your internet service renews automatically every midnight.

Question 3

Is the flat rate for internet unlimited?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the flat rate for internet is unlimited, but it comes with fair usage guidelines as required by law. If you reach the daily data limit, which is uncommon with regular smartphone use, your speed will be reduced for the rest of the day. However, you'll still be able to stay connected. If you need higher speeds, for example for a video call, you can contact us via WhatsApp and request high-speed internet for an additional charge. The data limit is quite high, so you typically won't experience any issues during your trip.

Question 4

Will my internet speed slow down at any point?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your internet speed may be reduced if you reach the daily data limit under our Fair Usage Policy. However, this is rare with normal usage. If you do hit the limit, your connection will still be active, but at a lower speed for the remainder of the day. You can always contact us via WhatsApp to request high-speed internet for an additional charge if needed.

Question 5

What internet speed can I expect?

Accepted Answer

We understand that internet speed can be crucial to ensure good connectivity. At Blink eSIM, we have coverage in more than 190 countries worldwide, but everything depends on the local operator available at your destination. In the vast majority of cases, you'll have 5G or 4G. However, if these networks aren't available in your location, you'll connect to the fastest available network, a situation that can occur in rural areas.

Question 6

How much does Flat Rate Internet cost?

Accepted Answer

BLINK's Flat Rate Internet costs $3.50 + VAT per day in almost all countries. This flat fee gives you unlimited data under our Fair Usage Policy, with your internet service automatically renewing each day at midnight, as long as you have sufficient balance in your BLINK eSIM wallet.

Question 7

Do I need to select a country for Flat Rate Internet?

Accepted Answer

No, you don't need to select a country for Flat Rate Internet. Once your BLINK eSIM is activated, it will automatically connect to local networks when you land and activate the eSIM on your phone, and the daily flat rate of $3.50 will apply. The system handles everything seamlessly, so you can travel without worrying about manual country selection.

Question 8

Can I disable Flat Rate Internet in certain countries?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can disable Flat Rate Internet in specific countries. Through the BLINK eSIM WhatsApp or your account, you can add countries to a "disabled list," which prevents the service from activating in those regions. This gives you control over where your eSIM is active and ensures you won't be charged for internet usage in unwanted countries.

Question 9

Can I use the eSIM in multiple countries?

Accepted Answer

Yes, one eSIM works for all the countries, no need to switch or download a new eSIM for each trip. You need to install it once and use it forever. Once activated, the eSIM automatically connects to local networks in any supported countries when you land. The Flat Rate Internet applies in most countries, ensuring you stay connected as you travel globally without any hassle.

Question 10

What happens if I land in a country where Flat Rate Internet is not available?

Accepted Answer

If you land in a country where Flat Rate Internet is not available, you will be charged based on a pay-per-GB model. You'll receive a link via SMS to enable data with the price mentioned for that region, and your wallet will be charged according to the amount of data used. This ensures that you can still access the internet, even in countries without Flat Rate coverage.

Question 11

Is BLINK eSIM compatible with my phone?

Accepted Answer

BLINK eSIM works with most eSIM-enabled smartphones. Please ensure your device is compatible with eSIM technology before purchasing.

Question 12

How do I top up my balance?

Accepted Answer

To top up your BLINK eSIM wallet, simply use WhatsApp or log into your BLINK eSIM account. Via WhatsApp, the chatbot will give you a secure link to recharge your wallet, asking how many days of internet you want to recharge. You can also top up directly from your account on the website by selecting the amount and completing the payment. Once topped up, your internet services will be activated for the selected days.

Question 13

Are there any hidden charges or additional costs?

Accepted Answer

No, at Blink eSIM we are transparent: there are no additional costs or hidden charges. The price we offer you when you purchase your eSIM is the one you will be billed, with no surprises and nothing we haven't told you about. The goal is for you to have internet access anywhere in the world without having to spend a lot of money.

Question 14

What are the start and end times of a service day?

Accepted Answer

A service day is based on the local time zone of the country you're in. It runs from 00:00 (midnight) to 23:59 on the same calendar day. You're only charged for the days you're connected.

Question 15

What is BLINK eSIM and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

BLINK eSIM provides seamless internet access across 190+ countries with just one eSIM. No need to switch or download a new eSIM for each trip. When your BLINK eSIM wallet has a balance and the eSIM is active, internet access automatically begins upon arrival in a supported country. A flat daily charge (e.g., $3.50/day + VAT) is applied per day. High-speed data is included, and after reaching the data limit, speeds are reduced but you stay connected. At midnight local time, the high-speed data is renewed, and the next day's charge is applied. In countries without flat-rate coverage, BLINK offers Pay-Per-GB internet. You'll receive an SMS with a link to enable data, and charges are based on per-GB pricing, which may vary by region. You can register, get a new eSIM, and recharge your wallet, and check your wallet balance anytime via WhatsApp.

Question 16

Do I need to install a new eSIM for every trip?

Accepted Answer

No, you don't need to install a new eSIM for every trip. BLINK works across 190+ countries with a single eSIM. Once activated, it automatically connects to local networks in supported countries, so you can travel without the need for new eSIM profiles or SIM swaps.

Question 17

Can I manage multiple eSIMs on my device?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can install and manage multiple eSIM profiles, making it ideal for family members, work, or personal use.

Question 18

What happens if I run out of balance?

Accepted Answer

If your wallet balance runs low, you'll receive a notification. To continue using internet services without interruption, simply top up your wallet. You can recharge easily via WhatsApp or by logging into your BLINK eSIM account. Once your wallet is topped up, you'll be able to resume using the internet service right away.

Question 19

Do I need to have balance in my wallet to activate the eSIM?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you must have sufficient balance in your wallet to activate and use the eSIM. Once your eSIM is activated, your wallet balance will be used for daily internet charges. If the balance is low, you won't be able to use the service until you top up your wallet.

Question 20

Can I enable or disable internet for specific countries?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can enable or disable internet access for specific countries. Through your BLINK eSIM account or WhatsApp, you can manage a "disabled countries" list. This allows you to turn off internet access in certain countries, such as your home country or places you don't plan to visit. You can easily add or remove countries from this list to control where your eSIM is active.
