Hubby Launches Esim in UK With on the Beach as First Partner
Amsterdam-based eSIM provider Hubby has launched its solution in the UK market through its integration with OTA On the Beach.
The Hubby eSIM can be integrated, with a tailored, end-to-end solution and no up-front investment. The firm said it is “intuitively and specifically designed with tour operator and travel providers’ needs in mind”, as part of its mission to “harness the power of mobile connectivity to improve the travel experience”.
It can provide real-time insight too to help make informed, data-driven decisions for customers.
On the Beach Embraces Hubby: Free Mobile Data for Package Holiday Customers
Hubby’s first UK partner, On the Beach – a company renowned for sending millions on unforgettable holidays annually – is now offering complimentary mobile data as part of their package holiday perks. This exciting development allows travelers to stay connected and share their experiences effortlessly throughout their adventures.
Early results indicate a “strong take-up” of the eSIM, particularly for long-haul trips to destinations like the US, where roaming charges can be notoriously expensive. Additionally, travelers across the EU and Turkey are also embracing the convenience and cost-effectiveness of Hubby’s eSIM solution.
How does FREE mobile data on holiday work?
- Book a holiday with On the Beach, and Hubby will send you a code that unlocks your FREE mobile data.
- It’s all done via an eSIM
- Simply download the Hubby app, enter your unique code, and follow steps to install your eSIM
The instructions will even match to your specific device, so you won’t have to go hunting around for how it all works on your phone model, but if you *do* need help, Hubby will be right there for you via their Live Chat.
Redefining the Modern Package Holiday: Hubby Envisions a 4-Part Experience
Hubby co-founder and CEO, Thijs van der Wijk, said: “Hubby was born out of personal frustration. Connecting to the internet safely, securely, reliably and without exorbitant costs when travelling should be easy but it isn’t. Global data roaming, particularly for UK travellers post-Brexit, is not good enough and with the UK travel market so established, we’re here to change that.”
He added: “Our partnership with On the Beach proves how quickly and seamlessly we can start delivering value, with sign off to activation taking just two weeks.
“For us, a modern-day package should have four component parts, not three: flight, hotel, transfer and mobile connectivity.
“Our eSIM is the ideal solution, but it’s only the beginning – we have big ambitions for future innovation that will deliver huge improvements to the customer experience and enable travellers to better enjoy real-world connection.”
