What Is a Holiday eSIM?

  • A holiday eSIM is a digital SIM card you install on your phone — no plastic, no airport queues, no swapping tiny chips.
  • Once activated, your phone connects to local networks in the country you’re visiting, giving you full-speed mobile internet wherever you go.
  • A holiday eSIM is perfect for:
    • Christmas trips
    • New Year celebrations abroad
    • Winter vacations
    • Visiting family in another country
    • Ski holidays
    • City-breaks during December
    If you want instant connectivity the moment you land, an eSIM for holiday travel is the simplest solution.

Why You Should Use an eSIM for Holiday Travel

  • With a travel-focused eSIM, you pay a clear fixed price — no hidden charges.

    • Instant activation

  • With RedDogFish, you simply tap or scan your code and you’re online. No stores, no kiosks, no waiting.

  • One eSIM can support multiple plans across different countries.

    RedDogFish keeps up.

    • No more SIM swapping

  • You keep your home number active while using mobile data abroad.
    Perfect for receiving messages, bank verifications, airline updates, and hotel confirmations.

    A holiday eSIM lets you browse safely — everywhere.
