What we love

Firsty shakes things up with a super easy-to-use global eSIM that cuts out roaming headaches. Their freemium model keeps you connected (no running out of data!), and costs are based on what you actually use—no rigid data bundles. With 120k+ users and growing purely through word of mouth, Firsty is clearly onto something big, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.
