How To Use Lyft With an eSIM

Traveling to a new city is exciting, but navigating unfamiliar streets and public transportation systems can be overwhelming. Luckily, there are ridesharing apps like Lyft to ease your journey. But how do you use Lyft to book a ride when you can’t get online? That’s where we come in. You can easily use your Airalo eSIM data to access Lyft abroad. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through how to use Lyft with an eSIM.

What Is an eSIM?

First, let’s review what an eSIM is. eSIM stands for “embedded SIM.” It’s a tiny chip that’s built into your phone and connects you to a mobile network. It serves the same function as a physical SIM card, but you don’t need to insert and remove it from your device to stay connected.

Instead, you can purchase an eSIM plan for your destination, install the eSIM on your device, and instantly connect to a mobile network. There’s no need to find a SIM vendor, swap out your SIM card, or struggle with spotty Wi-Fi. You can get online (and use Lyft!) within minutes of arrival.
