Avoid Roaming Shock: How International Fans Can Save Hundreds on Data at World Cup 2026

The Football World Cup has commenced. Fans are here, there are soccer goals aplenty, and it will be an incredible event unless clouded by unexpected roaming charges. 

Your budget for this wonderful tournament will be hit by roaming charges on your international travels to the World Cup 2026. Many of you are traveling to the U.S., Mexico, or Canada for the tournament. And, as many of you know from your travels abroad (maybe even traveling during the last World Cup), you probably have a HOME SIM that CAN NOT WORK abroad, or if it does work, it will be at the expense of about $10/minute for calls and $15/GB for usage. So you can be at least $200 deeper into your wallet before you even get past day 3 of your trip. 

There is a way to overcome this problem; it is a product called Lyca Mobile eSIM.

The Roaming Shock Reality

Imagine this: You are from Portugal or France and are headed to Dallas. You turn on your phone and get a message from your home carrier that says, ‘Roaming activated. $15 per GB of data used.’

You open your Instagram to check views on your arrival story and browse through. Use GPS to find the route to the stadium, and when you check your phone, by evening, you have been charged $45 for 3GB. Day 2, you call your family to talk about how it’s going, and within 10 minutes of talking to them, you lose $10 per minute and end up losing $100. By the 4th day, you would have incurred roaming fees of $400, and your team is still in the Group Stage.  

And this conundrum of roaming is what thousands of people face every time they don’t get an eSIM prepaid plan from Lyca Mobile.
