Pay-as-you-go travel eSIM — data that never expires
6 followers
Rivio eSIM is a travel eSIM that works like a balance, not a bundle. Top up once, pay local per-GB rates in 150+ countries, and keep whatever is left for your next trip — no expiry dates, no per-country packages, automatic carrier switching at borders.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Tolga, CTO & co-founder of Rivio eSIM.
We built Rivio eSIM after one too many trips where a "5GB / 30 days" bundle either died mid-trip or expired 80% unused. Travel data shouldn't be a guessing game.
How Rivio eSIM is different:
• One global eSIM — install once, works in 150+ countries
• You top up a balance (like money), not a data package
• Charged per MB at local per-GB rates — from ~$2.45/GB in Europe
• Balance never expires; it just waits for your next trip
• Cross a border → carrier switches automatically, no new package
• Family dashboard to manage everyone's eSIMs from one account
Ask me anything — pricing methodology, carrier partnerships, how per-MB metering works under the hood. Happy to go deep. 🙏
Took Rivio on a two-week trip through Japan and Vietnam and the automatic carrier switch at the border actually worked, no fumbling with new eSIMs. Paying per GB from one balance felt way more flexible than buying country packages I never finished.
Thank you Esra! Japan → Vietnam is exactly the scenario we built for — the eSIM just re-attaches to a partner network on arrival and the rate switches to that country's per-GB price on its own. Really glad the single-balance approach held up across the full two weeks. If you remember roughly how much data the trip ended up using, I'd love to hear it — real trip numbers help us tune the cost examples we publish.
The pay-as-you-go balance model is genuinely clever, especially the no-expiry carryover between trips. Whoever decided to skip the per-country package maze deserves a raise.
Thanks Erdal! The no-expiry decision came straight from our own trips — the bundles we used to buy kept dying 60-80% unused, and letting the balance simply wait for the next trip was the most honest fix we could ship. I'll pass the raise request along to the co-founder... which is me, so the odds look decent.
