IPVanish is now the third major VPN provider to introduce its own eSIM offering, following in the footsteps of NordVPN’s Saily and ExpressVPN’s partnership with holiday.com. As part of this launch, IPVanish is running a limited-time promotion: new users who subscribe to its Yearly or 2-Year Advanced Plan will receive a free 3GB eSIM data package. Valued at $11, this bonus enables secure, instant mobile connectivity in over 200 countries and is available until August 31, 2025.

The eSIM activates instantly without the need for a physical SIM swap, allowing travelers to get online immediately upon arrival at their destination. This feature ensures reliable mobile access and strong online protection, catering to the needs of modern travelers who require secure, uninterrupted connectivity wherever they go.

Enhanced Features of the IPVanish Advanced Plan

The eSIM covers 200 countries and will provide instant connectivity when abroad. The eSIM comes bundled with IPVanish’s core VPN features like threat protection, secure browser, and cloud storage.

The IPVanish Advanced Plan includes a suite of security tools and privacy solutions:

• VPN Access with Threat Protection: Blocks ads, trackers, and known malicious sites.
• In-App Tools: Includes Link Checker and QR Code Checker for safer interactions with potentially harmful URLs.
• IPVanish Secure Browser: Keeps activity off local devices and in the cloud to prevent threats, fingerprinting, and malicious downloads.
• Cloud Storage: Offers 1TB of secure backups, file syncing, and sharing to protect data from malware and ransomware threats.

With the addition of the global eSIM data gift, subscribers can stay securely connected with fast, reliable mobile data wherever they go.

Commitment to Digital Privacy and Security

This promotion underscores IPVanish’s dedication to making digital privacy and secure internet access available worldwide. By bundling a free eSIM with their VPN service, IPVanish provides customers with a comprehensive toolkit to stay safe and connected on the move.

VPNs and Fintechs Eye eSIM as the Future of Digital Mobility

The rise of eSIM technology is reshaping how travelers connect—and it’s not just telecoms that are taking notice. VPN providers, once solely focused on online privacy and security, are now entering the mobile connectivity space with offerings that go beyond virtual private networks. IPVanish’s recent eSIM promotion follows similar initiatives from NordVPN (via Saily) and ExpressVPN (through holiday.com), signaling a shift toward becoming all-in-one travel tech platforms.

What’s even more telling is that it’s not just VPN companies exploring this frontier. Fintech companies are also stepping into the eSIM ecosystem, aiming to provide seamless digital experiences for global users. For example, Revolut, known for its digital banking and travel perks, now offers eSIM data plans directly through its app. Crypto.com has also introduced a travel eSIM service to complement its crypto-backed financial tools. N26 has also entered the eSIM market with N26 SIM, offering mobile data plans directly through its app on Vodafone’s 5G network.

This convergence of security, finance, and connectivity suggests a broader trend: the eSIM market is becoming a key battleground for companies aiming to serve digital nomads, frequent travelers, and globally connected users. By offering secure browsing, international data, and financial services in one ecosystem, these brands are shaping the next generation of travel technology.

Subbu Sthanu, Chief Commercial Officer at IPVanish said,

“Today’s travelers need more than just convenience—they need secure, uninterrupted connectivity wherever they go. By bundling a free eSIM with our VPN, we’re giving our customers a complete traveler’s toolkit to stay safe and connected on the move.”

“Whether you’re navigating unfamiliar networks or working remotely abroad, we believe digital freedom should never come at the cost of personal security,” he added.
