Airalo seems to charge unexpected fees, how can I avoid this?

When your phone automatically switches to your main SIM, Airalo usually charges you fees you didn't expect.

Avoid this by turning off data roaming on your main SIM card or disabling it completely before starting AirAsia. This way, only the eSIM will use data.

Always pick a plan that works with the route you're taking, since eSIMs that are only good in one country might not work in other places and may cause backup roaming to happen.

Some plans start right away after installation, so don't do it until you're ready to use it.

With the Airalo app, you can keep an eye on your balance and avoid overages and top-ups you didn't plan for.

When you use Wi-Fi, offline maps, and chat apps, you can get more out of your data and avoid extra charges.

These are key methods that we can offer. If you have more, please share.
