Quick Summary of Pay-as-you-go Credits
Roamless pay-as-you-go credits can be used for data connectivity in all 200+ Roamless destinations
Roamless pay-as-you-go credits never expire
Roamless pay-as-you-go credits are consumed per MB of data usage
Roamless pay-as-you-go credits can also be used for in-app calls, per minute of talk time
You can think of your Roamless account like a wallet, and your pay-as-you-go credits as the currency that you spend for mobile data and for in-app calls (consuming your balance as you go) across all Roamless destinations.
Pay-as-you-go Credits Give You Data Allowance Everywhere
Each Roamless destination has specific per GB pay-as-you-go rate (e.g., $2.45/GB for the United States, $2.45/GB for the United Kingdom, $3.95/GB for China, $4.45/GB for Canada)
Your Roamless pay-as-you-go credits (i.e. your balance) gives you mobile data allowance in every Roamless destination, based on that destination's per GB data rates
For instance, if you had $25 USD worth of pay-as-you-go credits in your Roamless account, you would get:
10.2GB data allowance in the US
10.2GB data allowance in the UK
6.3GB data allowance in China
5.6GB data allowance in Canada
The same balance is usable in all Roamless destinations, however your data allowance changes based on the country or region's per GB rates
Your credits are consumed per MB of usage
You can check per GB data rates for each destination from inside the Roamless app or from the Roamless website
For multi-destination trips where you spend a few days at each country, pay-as-you-go credits is the best way to go, as you don't have to worry about buying plans for each location or wasting any unused data. As soon as you land in your next destination, your credits and your eSIM is ready for use, automatically.
Pay-as-you-go Credits Never Expire
Unlike data plans (that have 30-day validity), Roamless pay-as-you-go credits never expire; they remain in your account as long as you need them
This means, you can top-up your account for a particular trip, use your eSIM and your balance for mobile data and in-app calls, and if you do not use all of your credits, the unused balance remains in your account, never expiring. You can use them in any Roamless destination whenever you need
Pay-as-you-go Credits can be Used for Mobile Data and for In-App Calls
In addition to mobile data allowance, your Roamless credits also give you access to Roamless in-app calls, where you can make calls to any destination from inside the Roamless app and pay per minute of talk time
Similar to data rates, each destination you call has a specific per minute call rate (starting at $0.01/min). You can can find the rates for in-app calls in the Roamless app, under each destination's details)
The call rates are based on the number you are dialing; and not your physical location
As long as you have pay-as-you-go credits in your account, you can make in-app calls to anywhere you need
