"We want to get money and resources directly to Palestinians in Gaza, however, as many people know, the blockade has made it almost impossible to get cash and resources into Gaza. One way that is possible is getting people eSims."

"We have also been steadfast as we can be—in a disabled way. For over a year, we have sent eSIMs every day, from our bed, from the toilet, in the hospital, while waiting for the bus. With over 160+ volunteers, we have sent over 18,000 eSIMs and kept several thousand active continuously, some for over half a year, totalling more than 41,000 eSIMs and top ups. Thanks to all of your donations, we raised over two million dollars CAD and spent over two million dollars CAD on a rough estimate of 600,000 gigabytes of data, in support of Connecting Humanity and Gazans on the ground."

HELP OUT HERE ASWELL

"Since October 2023 Almost every photo you have seen from Gaza since then has come through an eSIM. Over 450,000 eSIMs have been donated through Connecting Humanity. Without your generosity Gaza would be totally isolated, eSIMs are saving lives and showing the world the genocide."

"We are helping people in a genocide who are being bombed, killed, shot and displaced. They might take the eSIM and be killed before activating it or their phone may be lost or destroyed. They may walk many miles and search for several days for a stable internet connection."

We are now able to provide Palestinians in Gaza with eSIMs that have connections to three different networks!! Please help us donate these better eSIMs by donating at the link provided: https://donate.stripe.com/bIY3dqbHZgzT7sc9AE

Hello everyone! I’m part of the team at watermelonwarriors.io on Instagram! We have been distributing eSIMs for a month now to Palestinians in Gaza. We are an international team of volunteers and some of our members have family and friends in Palestine, so we really want to help make a positive impact in a truly tragic situation. Thanks to your generous donations, we’ve already been able to partner with humanitarian aid organizations and provide over 400 eSIMs to their staff, medical workers, and civilians! Right now, over 350 are active- and the rest have been distributed to people who are able to help each other activate the eSIM.

Each eSIM is $16.99 because we buy them wholesale and do not profit or pay ourselves a single cent. In fact, this project started because I personally spent hundreds of dollars buying eSIMs to donate that were never activated. So I reached out to a friend to create a better system, and we found a wholesale eSIM retailer that allows the eSIM to be activated up to 10 times, which is EXTREMELY helpful because it’s very hard to get a good enough signal to connect in Gaza right now! The esims run on three major Israeli telecommunication companies, which are what the IOF uses to have service in Gaza.

If you can find a good eSIM deal, it can save you a significant amount of money and hassle when traveling overseas—especially compared to traditional roaming services. International roaming charges are often unpredictable and expensive, making it difficult for travelers to control mobile data costs. Understanding how mobile connectivity pricing works can help you choose the most cost-effective option for your trip.

In most cases, the price of mobile connectivity is calculated per GB (gigabyte) of data. However, this cost can vary dramatically depending on the type of connection you use. When roaming with your home network, the cost per GB is usually the highest. Many travelers unknowingly pay premium rates simply because roaming is enabled by default, leading to bill shock after returning home.

Some mobile operators offer international plans or contracts with global benefits, which can reduce roaming costs. While these plans are more affordable than pay-as-you-go roaming, they are often limited by country coverage, speed restrictions, or data caps. For frequent travelers, these plans may still not provide the flexibility or value needed.

Another option is purchasing a local physical SIM card upon arrival. This can significantly lower the cost per GB, but it comes with its own challenges—finding a store, providing identification, changing SIM cards, and potentially losing access to your primary number during the trip.
