About
A travel company that happens to sell data
TravelNet came out of a working travel business, not out of a telecoms one. That shapes most of what follows.
We started selling travel eSIMs in 2023, to the people we were already sending abroad. Clients kept coming back with the same story: a roaming bill that arrived weeks after the trip, or a scramble for a local SIM card in an arrivals hall with no working phone to look up where the shop was. An eSIM solves both, and it solves them before anyone leaves home.
The first version of this store ran on Shopify from 2023. It worked, and the reviews on it were real, but it was a generic template selling a specific thing badly — no way to tell you which network you would actually be on, no honest word about where coverage thins out, and a device-compatibility list buried three clicks deep. This rebuild exists to fix that.
Today the catalogue covers 177 countries and 9 regional and global plans. Every plan is a data plan on a local partner network — you keep your own number for calls and messages, and the eSIM carries the internet.
What we are not
We are not a mobile network. We do not own towers, we do not set the coverage maps, and no reseller who tells you otherwise is being straight with you. What we control is which plans we put in front of you, how honestly we describe them, and whether a person answers when something breaks.

How we describe what we sell
Four rules. They cost us conversions occasionally, which is rather the point.
-
We name the network, or we say nothing
Where we know which local operator carries a destination, the destination page says so. Where we are not certain, it says "local partner networks" instead of inventing a name that sounds reassuring.
-
The awkward facts go on the page
Fair-use caps, coverage gaps, countries that restrict internet calling, borders where a regional plan stops working. Finding that out after landing is the worst possible time.
-
Check before you pay, not after
The compatibility checker sits in the navigation rather than behind the checkout. We would rather lose the order than sell an eSIM to a phone that cannot take one.
-
No accounts, no app, no upsell stack
You buy a plan and get a QR code by email. There is nothing to sign up for, nothing to download, and nothing bundled on at the last screen.
The rest of what we do
Two sister businesses, same people. If you need more than data, start there.
Questions before you buy?
Ask. We would rather talk you out of the wrong plan than refund the right one.
