Data that works when you land at 1 am

A 26-hour layover in Bangkok. Midnight arrival. Hotel is 40 minutes away. Your home SIM is already billing roaming you'll fight next month.

Airport SIM desks are pricey, often cash-only, and closed when you need them.

Buy an eSIM before you leave. Install over hotel or crew-room Wi-Fi. It connects when you land.

Because Layvr already has your roster, it suggests a plan for the city you're flying to - you don't need to hunt comparison sites.

Roster-aware suggestions

Layvr reads your next layover from your imported roster and surfaces the best-value eSIM for that country - automatically.

Buy in two taps

Select a plan, confirm with Apple Pay or your saved card. No apps to switch, no comparison sites to browse.

Install before you board

eSIM installs over Wi-Fi at home or in the crew room. Switches on automatically when your phone detects the local network.

From £7.99 · 200+ destinations

Common questions

Does my phone support eSIM?

Most modern phones do - iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, Google Pixel 3 and later. Check Settings → General → About (iOS) or Settings → Connections → SIM card manager (Android) for an "Add eSIM" or "Add mobile plan" option.

Can I keep my regular number while using the eSIM?

Yes. Your home SIM stays active for calls and texts. The eSIM handles data - calls and texts still come through your main number. Most phones let you set different SIMs as default for data vs calls.

Does it work on short 24-hour layovers?

Absolutely. Even a 1 GB plan is enough for maps, messaging, and a hotel check-in for a short turnaround. Layvr factors in layover length when suggesting plan size.

What if I have a layover in multiple countries on one trip?

Regional plans (Europe, Asia-Pacific, etc.) cover multiple countries in one purchase. Layvr suggests the plan that covers all your stops on that trip.

Is the eSIM included on the free tier?

Yes. eSIM purchasing is available on the free tier. You pay for the data plan itself (from £7.99); Layvr does not add fees on top.
