Telia Estonia offers Super Travel eSIM for roaming

If you’re gearing up for a trip and dreading the roaming data hassle, listen up: Estonia-based Super (by Telia Eesti) has just launched a slick new product—the Super Travel eSIM—designed to keep you online across borders without the stress of swapping SIM cards or hunting down WiFi. The headline: you purchase the eSIM directly in the Super app, pick from data packages (1 GB to 40 GB), and roam in select countries with fixed-volume internet plans.

So let’s walk through what this means, why it’s a smart move for travellers and digital nomads, and what to watch out for—nothing generic, just the practical stuff you’ll want to know.

What is the Super Travel eSIM?

In short, instead of the conventional roaming model where your “home” SIM keeps charging you erratically when abroad, the Super Travel eSIM gives you a dedicated data plan for roaming. You download the eSIM via the Super app, install it on your eSIM-capable device, pick a plan, and then you’re covered in the supported destination. According to the official terms, the eSIM downloaded is “an electronic data set … located on the eUICC chip in the device and allows the use of the Mobile Communication Services.”

Importantly:

  • Only mobile internet is included—voice calls and SMS are not part of the plan.
  • You must use the plan while roaming abroad, not in your home country. The terms state the service is intended for “mobile internet while roaming (abroad) and not in the country of residence.”
  • The eSIM can be downloaded to just one device.

What Countries & Data Packages Are Covered?

The launch announcement says you can acquire data packages from 1 GB up to 40 GB for a set of ten countries, including Ukraine, Switzerland, Moldova, Egypt, Australia, and more. On the Super website, it says the Travel eSIM covers many countries and regions (80+ via the app) for internet access.

So what does that mean in real terms? If you’re heading for a non-EU country (or one of the ten supported), you can purchase a fixed-volume data plan: e.g., “1 GB for Country X” or “10 GB for Region Y.” Once you arrive, you turn on the eSIM, roam, and use the data until it runs out or the plan’s time limit hits. The user flow is clean: download app → purchase plan → activate → roam.

Why This Matters for Digital Nomads & Travellers

Here’s where the value kicks in, especially for your audience of frequent travellers, remote workers, and roaming-savvy folks:

  • Simplicity: No more hunting for local SIMs, no more fiddling with physical cards, adapters, or kiosk trips. Inside the app, you buy the eSIM, and you’re ready.
  • Predictable Cost: Because you know you’re buying “X GB in Country Y”, that gives you fixed-volume data rather than ambiguous roaming charges.
  • Flexibility: If your travel route takes you through multiple countries/regions, you can purchase separate plans for each or regional plans as supported.
  • Keep your primary number: Since voice/SMS isn’t included, you can still keep your main number active at home while using the eSIM for data abroad—helpful if you don’t want to change your number.
  • Good for hotspotting and multiple devices: The website mentions you can share internet between devices (hotspot) via the eSIM plan.

For someone working remotely while travelling, needing stable internet for meetings, file uploads, and the digital nomad lifestyle, this offering ticks many boxes.

Practical Tips Before You Buy

Because, yes—there are important caveats and best practices. Use these as a checklist:

  • Check device compatibility: Make sure your phone/laptop supports eSIM and that you have the app installed (for Android via Google Play, for iOS via App Store). The Super Prepaid & Travel eSIM app lists support for “Travel eSIM service – Internet access in 80+ countries… download eSIM directly from the app”.
  • Activate the eSIM in the right place: The terms state that the downloaded eSIM must be used for roaming abroad and that the user acknowledges it’s for personal use while roaming.
  • Use only one plan at a time per region/country: While you can hold multiple plans for different regions on the same eSIM, you can only use the one appropriate for the country you’re in.
  • Time-limits apply: Each purchased plan is valid up to 30 days (720 hours) from activation. Also, the eSIM itself is valid 90 days (2,160 hours) from the last plan purchase.
  • Data only — no voice/SMS included: If you expect to make outbound calls/SMS from the eSIM number, you’ll need a separate service. The offering is strictly data-only.
  • Keep expectations realistic for speed/coverage: The terms state that actual speed depends on the roaming partner network, device specs, location, etc. So, for remote areas, don’t expect the same as home 5G.
  • No refunds for unused data: Unused mobile internet in the plan cannot be refunded or transferred to another eSIM.
  • Enable roaming before you leave: The Super site emphasizes enabling roaming in the app or via the USSD code *148# before travelling.

One Small Quirk: Voice & SMS

Because the plan is data-only, if you still want voice calls or SMS from the destination country or via your roaming number, you’ll need a backup. For many travellers this is fine—they rely on WhatsApp, Zoom, and Teams. But if you’re, for example, making voice calls from a home office or to clients, double-check whether your current number handles inbound and outbound calls as usual, or if you need to maintain another roaming service.

The Big Picture: How This Fits the Global Connectivity Landscape

From your vantage point as the Alertify platform—comparing eSIMs, roaming solutions, and travel connectivity tech—this launch from Super/Telia Eesti is interesting for a few reasons:

  • It shows how local European operators are progressively entering the eSIM-roaming data space (not just local SIM replacements) — and this matters for the “global connectivity made simple” mission.
  • It expands the toolkit for travellers/digital nomads: instead of only global multi-country eSIM aggregators, you have region/single-country plans from national operators. This gives more granularity and potentially cost optimisation.
  • For affiliate & B2B models (which you work with), a product like this could be an interesting partner or case-study: an operator with clear terms, simple download flow, fixed data packages — all good ingredients for affiliate promotion or travel-tech integration.
Final Thoughts

If you’re heading abroad and want an uncomplicated data-roaming solution, the Super Travel eSIM by Telia Eesti is worth a serious look. It’s app-based, quick to deploy, focused on data (ideal for mobile workers and travellers), and covers at least ten key countries at launch with a larger “80+” support list noted in the app. It offers predictability, flexibility, and simplicity—the kind of connectivity product that aligns with our audience at Alertify.

That said, always check the latest country-list and pricing in the app before purchase, verify your device is eSIM-ready, and ensure you’ve enabled roaming and chosen the correct region/plan. With those boxes ticked, you’ve got a modern roaming data solution ready for your next trip.
