Does my phone support eSIM?

Most phones made after 2019 support eSIM: iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3+, Samsung Galaxy S20+, and most current Android flagships. The device also needs to be unlocked from your home carrier.

What does 'unlimited with throttle' actually mean?

Mango never cuts your data. Each plan has a daily high-speed allowance, from 500 MB/day up to 5 GB/day depending on the plan. If you hit it, your speed drops for the rest of that day, to between 128 kbps and 1 Mbps. Maps, WhatsApp, and most browsing still work fine. Full speed resets at midnight UTC.

When is an unused plan refundable?

Unused plans are refundable within 14 days of purchase, provided the eSIM has not connected to a network. A person handles refunds on WhatsApp.

What are your WhatsApp support hours?

We are on WhatsApp 24/7. An AI assistant answers first, which is how the typical reply lands in under 5 minutes at any hour. Ask for a person at any point and one takes over — always for billing, refunds, or anything unusual.

Can I keep my regular phone number active?

Yes. Dual-SIM devices let you keep your home SIM active for calls and SMS while using Mango for data.

Can I pause my subscription between trips?

Yes. Pause anytime from your account — your subscription billing pauses until you resume. No fee to pause or resume.

What are Holafly's genuine advantages?

eSIM Comparison

Holafly vs Mango — Which Travel eSIM Is Right for You?

A comparison of features, pricing, and limits — so you can pick the one that fits your trip.

Quick verdict

Holafly Plans Unlimited at EUR 59.95/month is the closest monthly peer: one global eSIM, auto-renewing, cancel anytime. Mango's regional Trip bundles start at EUR 14.99/month (Calm) and do not ask you to repurchase a day-pack when usage is heavy — we throttle, never cut. Holafly's Unlimited Plans are subject to a fair-use policy that may temporarily reduce speed for 'unusually high usage'; the Plans purchase flow does not publish a GB/day threshold or a kbps floor. Mango's main support advantage remains WhatsApp support where AI answers first and a person takes over on request. If Holafly's prepaid per-destination day packs fit a short single-country trip, they remain a solid option.

What the differences mean for your trip

Data model

Holafly markets unlimited data on both prepaid destination eSIMs and Holafly Plans. On the Plans FAQ, unlimited subscriptions 'are subject to a fair use policy, which may temporarily reduce speed in cases of unusually high usage.' That is the whole public threshold on the Plans purchase flow: no GB/day, no kbps floor, no reset clock.(Source: www.holafly.com) Mango publishes each plan's daily high-speed allowance — 500 MB/day then 128 kbps on Trip Calm, up to 5 GB/day then 1 Mbps on Nomad Lightning — in its plan details and help centre. Full speed returns at midnight UTC. You are never cut off.

Pricing

The closest monthly peer is Holafly Plans Unlimited at EUR 59.95/month (EUR Plans page): one eSIM, 160+ destinations, auto-renewing. Holafly still sells prepaid per destination and per trip length alongside that subscription.(Source: www.holafly.com) Mango's Europe Loop covers 42 countries for EUR 14.99/month (Calm) or EUR 24.99/month (Cruise); Nomad covers 157 countries from EUR 19.99/month. For a month of multi-country travel you do not repurchase a day-pack on Mango — the monthly Trip or Nomad is the plan. Holafly's prepaid 7-day destination plans can still be competitive for a short single-country stay.

Coverage

Holafly Plans cover 160+ destinations on one eSIM.(Source: www.holafly.com) Mango covers 157 via Visit/Nomad and four curated regional Trip bundles. The key difference for EU travelers: Mango's Europe Loop covers 42 countries including UK, Ireland, and non-EU Schengen members (Switzerland, Norway, Iceland) on a single plan.

Support

Holafly's own site offers 24/7 chat, WhatsApp, and email, and describes the chat as human.(Source: www.holafly.com) Mango is WhatsApp-first: AI answers immediately, and you can ask for a person at any point. If your eSIM stops working at an airport, you get an answer in the app you already have open.

App experience

Holafly now has an iOS and Android app for install, usage, and support chat.(Source: www.holafly.com) Mango's app adds real-time usage against the disclosed daily allowance, subscription pause/resume/cancel, trip planning with bundle recommendations, and Apple Wallet integration.
