If you’ve traveled more than a couple of times in your life, you know the familiar feeling: that mini heart-attack moment when your suitcase doesn’t show up on the carousel.
Luckily, travel insurance has our backs. A few forms, a claim number, and eventually a reimbursement for your lost bag. Peace of mind in a policy.

But here’s a question no one seems to ask:

Who covers lost connections?

Not flight connections—that’s a different headache (and sometimes your airline’s problem). I’m talking about the digital lifeline we all carry: the ability to stay connected abroad.

Because let’s be honest: losing your bags is inconvenient. Losing your connectivity is paralyzing.

The New Kind of “Lost”

Picture this: you land in Tokyo, excited for your first trip to Japan. You breeze through customs, grab your neatly packed luggage (yay, nothing lost this time), and step outside to order an Uber. Only—you can’t. Your phone stares back at you with a little red “x” where your bars should be.

No roaming. No data. No connection.

Suddenly you can’t check your hotel reservation, you can’t message the friend who’s waiting for you, you can’t translate the signs around you. You’re stranded—not physically, but digitally. And in today’s world, that’s arguably worse.

Lost luggage? You can buy a toothbrush.
Lost connection? You lose time, safety, and control.

Travel Insurance Forgot This One

Travel insurance evolved to cover all sorts of mishaps—medical emergencies, cancellations, and damaged luggage. But it has never touched digital connectivity.

And yet connectivity is now as essential as your passport. You can’t cross a city without maps, can’t check into flights without mobile boarding passes, and can’t even pay in many places without your phone.

It’s not an exaggeration to say: your connection is your trip.

So why isn’t anyone ensuring it?

Enter the Idea of “Connectivity Insurance”

This is where Alertify comes in.

We’re not an insurance company—we won’t mail you long forms to fill out, and we don’t do fine print. But we are, in many ways, the missing safety net for travelers.

Think of us as connectivity insurance.

Instead of waiting for disaster to strike, we give you the tools, options, and backup plans to make sure you never lose connection in the first place.

How Alertify Fills the Gap

Here’s how we step into that insurance-shaped hole:

1. Global eSIMs that actually work

We’ve all heard the nightmare stories: someone buys a cheap travel SIM from a random website, and it fizzles the moment they land. At Alertify, we test, compare, and partner only with providers that deliver reliable coverage in over 200 countries.

That means if your operator’s roaming doesn’t cut it, you’ve already got a digital backup in your pocket.

2. The “second network” mentality

Travelers are used to carrying a spare credit card in case one doesn’t work. Why not a spare connection? With our eSIMs, you can load two or more onto your phone. If one network is down or slow, switch in seconds. That’s not just convenience—that’s peace of mind.

3. Price transparency

Roaming bills are the original horror story of travel. Alertify helps you see the actual prices up front, compare plans, and choose what fits. Think of it as protecting yourself from financial shock. Just like travel insurance covers unexpected costs, we cover your expectations with clarity.

4. Local and regional bundles

Going to three countries in one trip? We’ll recommend multi-country packages that prevent the dreaded “out of coverage” moment when you cross a border. Your data follows you seamlessly. No need to scramble in an airport kiosk at 10 p.m.

We compare, you connect. It’s that simple.

Why This Matters More Than Ever

A decade ago, losing your connection abroad was an inconvenience. Maybe you’d spend an hour finding a payphone or ask a stranger for directions.

Today, it’s critical.

• Hotels expect online check-in.
• Ride-sharing apps have replaced taxis in many cities.
• Translation tools are how we communicate across cultures.
• Payments are increasingly digital.

Connectivity is no longer optional—it’s infrastructure. Like water, electricity, or yes, luggage.

But unlike lost luggage, there’s no compensation form for losing your connection. No hotline. No refund. Just stress and wasted time.

Unless, of course, you’ve thought ahead.

Stories From the Road

We’ve heard them all:

• A business traveler who lost a million-euro deal because he couldn’t join a last-minute Zoom in Dubai.
• A couple stuck outside their Airbnb in Paris for two hours because their roaming failed and they couldn’t message the host.
• A backpacker in South America who had to take random unmarked taxis because his maps app wouldn’t load.

Each of these situations could have been prevented with a backup eSIM. That’s why we position Alertify not as a product, but as insurance for your connection.

Connectivity Insurance vs. Travel Insurance

Let’s compare side by side:

Both matter. But one is still missing in the mainstream conversation.

A New Kind of Travel Essential

We like to say: passport, wallet, phone… and Alertify.

That’s the new travel checklist.

Because while traditional insurance makes sure you’re reimbursed after the disaster, Alertify makes sure the disaster never happens. Your maps work, your boarding pass loads, your messages send. You stay in control.

And that’s worth more than compensation—it’s worth peace of mind.

The Future of Travel Insurance Might Catch Up

It’s not hard to imagine a future where actual insurance companies start bundling digital connectivity into their policies. Maybe one day “roaming protection” will be an add-on next to “winter sports cover.”

But until then, Alertify is here as the unofficial insurance. Not paperwork. Not claims. Just solutions.

Final Boarding Call

Travel is supposed to be about discovery, not disruption. You insure your bags because they’re valuable. But your connection? That’s priceless.

So the next time you pack your bags and skim your insurance policy, remember: there’s still one gap nobody covers.

Lost bags? Covered.
Lost connections? That’s on you—unless you’ve got Alertify.

And once you do, you’ll wonder how you ever traveled without it.
